Welcome to Litsy!

#BookMail Pt3 The 3rd & last book in the Aftermath trilogy. Norra Wesley‘s team have tracked Grand Admiral Rae Sloane to the planet of Jakku, not realizing that a fleet of Star Destroyers are in orbit around the planet. Norra & the bounty hunter Jas head down to the surface chasing the Admiral, while the rest of her team escape to Chandrila to warn General Organa about the fleet. #JulysHugeBookSplurge

#BookMail Pt2 This is the 2nd book in Chuck Wendigs Aftermath trilogy which has come highly recommended. After the New Republic‘s win over the Empire at The Battle Of Endor, the Broken Empire is gathering it‘s forces to strike back. When Han Solo & Chewbacca go missing after trying to liberate the Wookie home world, General Leia Organa sends Norra Wexley & her team to bring her husband home. #JulysHugeBookSplurge

Got some of the last of my #JulysHugeBookSplurge today. There‘s s few more stragglers & preorders coming, but this is the last of the big boxes. I think🤔 #BookMail Pt1 is the first book in a trilogy set directly after Return Of The Jedi. I‘ve heard great things about this series, it‘s at the top of most recommended Star Wars novels. I‘m trying to read them in order but the bound trilogies of the movie books are really hard to find! #alongtimeago

My 2nd #BookMail of August is another preorder. This is Bk8 in the Shetland series, which is brilliant. Set on the main island in the Shetlands, which are part of Scotland, DI Jimmy Perez is the head of the islands police force. Trying to look after 16 seperate islands in the archipelago takes a certain type of man & Perez, a born Shetlander(though on Fair Isle)is up for the task. I prefer Cleeves “Vera” series but I love the setting in this one.

The first #BookMail of August is my preorder of Peter Robinson‘s latest DCI Banks novel. I first got hooked on this series when I picked up a copy of Aftermath 15yrs ago from one of those stalls in the middle of shopping centres that have discounted books. It intrigued me coz it was all about what happens after the killer is caught. Then I went back & found every book in the series & I haven‘t been disappointed yet. This is No25.

#Stack4 Finally, The bottom half of my 2nd stack, I‘m planning on having a full set if Harry Potter in every house(they really know how to suck you in hey). This stack also contains 4 books from the lovely @Robothugs from our #LitMail #xmasinjuly swap. So many wonderful choices. Which book out of the whole stacks would you read first?

#Stack3 Some more awesomeness in the top half of my 2nd stack. Titles like Circe(signed first edition)The Gloaming(signed)a boxset Of The Grisha Books by Leigh Bardugo & Space Unicorn Blues(which I read in one sitting, it was so weird but sooo good!)Three of these are from sub boxes(fairyloot & theyachronicles)See anything on your TBR?

#Stack2 The Bottom half of stack 2 is mostly my boxset Of The Wizard Of Oz & some of my most anticipated reads including Indianapolis & Record Of A Spaceborn Few. And Spinning Silver & The Rise And Fall Of The Dinosaurs. Hell, I can‘t wait to read them all!🙌❤️❤️❤️

#Stack1 For all the lookyloos out there(I know there‘s plenty coz I‘m one of em)here‘s the top half of stack 1. I‘ve picked up some awesome books this month including Karin Slaughters new book(which came yesterday)plus some books for my grandbaby bookworm. See anything you like?👍👀

Yeah....I may have only read 9 books this month, but I actually bought 53 books.This is what happens when I‘m given money & internet!At least I‘ll have plenty to read for the next few months,especially when I have no money to spare.This isn‘t counting the preorders I have coming in the next few months too.To be fair, some of these books were gifts & some are from sub boxes too.Don‘t they look wonderful though? Closeups coming next for the curious.
