Welcome to Litsy!

Thought it was a new #SapphicHolidayRomance , but it was just an old favorite with a new cover. #SapphicRomance #HolidayRomance #BisexualMC #HolidayNovella #Novella

I‘ve had this novella trilogy on my holiday reading list for years and finally pulled out the first one today. After losing her mother years ago, a young American woman goes to London to track down her father using only a few sparse clues. It‘s a good story, and thankfully things worked out well for Miranda by the end. This is not a romance story, but still full of Christmas, hope, and found family.

Book 4 is up next 😁

It‘s getting chilly again. I had to wear a jacket for the first part of my walk. It‘s been a long time since I read The Body, and I‘m not sure how much I remember is from the movie. I cannot picture these kids as anyone other than the actors who played them. It was jarring, though, to hear Gordie say, “F**k the World Trade Center” given 9/11, which hadn‘t happened when this story was written. #audiowalk

This was a lovely novella for the holidays. Sweet, romantic, and perfect to curl up and read by the fire 🎄

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

3.75 stars. Like the other books in the series, this Christmas special was deliberately meta and pays homage to Agatha Christie in a fresh way. It was fun to try to play along with solving the mystery, but I‘m nowhere near as shrewd as Ern! The advent calendar was a nice, festive touch.

Contrariness is a value I embrace when it is to help another human being. I may have to purchase as gifts.

I dipped my toe into our latest Nobel winner. Yeah, long sentences with no clear purpose until later. This is a short playful one on the anxiety of fleeing. Just fleeing. No cause, no identity other than Croatian ports. No explanation until the very end. I struggled a little. I was entertained. I‘m a little intimidated about reading more by him. This one is a collaboration with illustrator and a musician.
