Welcome to Litsy!

Hey all. Thank you so much for the holiday cards. They were awesome.

I have had app and only line problems with Litsy for months so I am sorry I disappeared. I also took Nov and Dec off most social media.

I am going to try to be back. I have plenty of of books to review and things to lay like always. I have missed you all like crazy so hopefully my tech issues are gone.

Jimmy,now in a steady relationship with Willow and the second child on the way, investigates the murder of his friend Archie. The setting (island of Westray) and red herrings are brilliant. The reveal is a bit of a let down. I don‘t want to give anything away but blaming mostly xxx for turning someone into a murderer is simplistic and unrealistic. Anyway, still a great read.

November was filled with great reads, but nothing that really stood out, so I chose the tagged one. #12BooksOf2025

I had two favorites in November. One was last week‘s #sundayfunday entry, Separation of Church and Hate, which was also my favorite nonfiction of the year.

The other was the tagged book, which was also my favorite mystery of the year.

Meanwhile, my favorite fiction that was not a mystery was Starter Villain (from June).

My #bookspin list is ready for January. Keeping it simple. Happy New Year 🍾🥂

Gooood morning, everyone!! Welcome to the first 2026 #BookSpin #BookSpinBingo reminder post!!! Time for another year of making lists, checking them twice, and then reading literally anything not on the list 😂 Or however it works best for you! 😁

Anyway, this is my first post with 2026's tag list, so if you have been missed please let me know!! I may have typed your name in wrong or missed it when you said you wanted to be added to the list. ⬇

I gave up this series about 10 years ago & there are around 20 new books in it. 😳 For #AuthorAMonth I picked up where I left off. It's a good, readable story of but I can't say I can really get behind a cop heroine and billionaire hero these days. Throw in a lot of sexual violence and a nasty prison rape comment and I'm pretty sure I'm not going to catch up with the missing 20 plus however many new ones there are since I started that sentence.

“Ironman, but not like Ripken.“ Her eyes narrowed. “Is this porn?“

He laughed. “It isn't, no.“

“Ironman sounds suspicious to me. What are the others?“

“There's Thor, the Hulk,“ he began.

“Sounds like porn.“

I am enjoying this series about an Irish female detective in the met police. Maeve Kerrigan is an enjoyable character facing sexism while trying to investigate difficult crimes. In this her 2nd outing the murder of a sex offender suddenly appears to be a serial killer. The mystery quickly tales a tangent when an organised crime gang leader also takes the stage. Good read, role on book 3.
