Welcome to Litsy!

This was fun! Published in the 1960s. Emily Pollifax, a widow in her 60s, is bored so she decides to become a spy for the CIA. They of course don't hire her as a spy, but through a mix up, they do recruit her to vacation in Mexico & pick up a package. Things didn't go according to plan & she is kidnapped by communists & sent to a prison in Albania. Much of the plot relies on coincidence and dumb luck, but I still enjoyed it

Tonight‘s book, paired with a lovely raspberry ginger wheat ale that has neither a name nor a head.

I plucked MRS POLLIFAX ON THE CHINA STATION from a Little Free Library because every year I try to read a book from each year I‘ve been alive and I‘m still missing 1983. It seems like it‘s a cozy spy thriller. I‘m also braced for lots of racism, since it‘s from 1983, but I hope it‘ll surprise me.

Currently in the Middle East with tagged book.

My office wanted to celebrate March Madness with a bracket showdown on the best pasta shapes 🤣😂🤣🍝

Thx for the tag @dabbe

That‘s one way to track your reads 😂

Both the tagged book and this treat are hard to resist.

Early morning reading with a treat or two. ☕️

A rare find these days.

Just as good as the first book, though Mrs. Pollifax is slightly more prepared this time. I've also noticed she seems to have a Bond-esque way of picking up random men throughout her travels. Lol
Lots of action. Lots of spy-related shenanigans. This would make a great movie. Looking forward to the next one. Recommend.
