Welcome to Litsy!

After wading through The Priory, I was ready for something completely opposite and dived into this thriller by Peter May. I've read several of May's books in the past and enjoyed every one of them, and this was no exception. The story opens with a man staggering onto the beach from the sea, wounded and borderline-hypothermic. He has no idea who he is or where he comes from, and as he begins to piece together this own story, he starts to realize⬇

I read several of Thayne's books last year and really enjoyed them, so I was excited to read her newest, which happens to be Christmasy!! This one was due back at the library so I had to read it before #WinterGames begin, but it was actually just the piece of relaxing fluff that I need. I would definitely recommend this one if you enjoy romances that don't make you think too much 😂 It was also clean, which I like, plus it took me to Wyoming ⬇️

It had been a while since I read this one, so while I had a vague memory of one of the twists, I couldn't exactly remember how it all came together. I really enjoyed the pacing here, although having the little group of relatives of the victims decide to come together and "help" with the case did feel slightly contrived lol Still good fun here. I had to take a picture of both covers of this edition since I love the quote on the back.

This really was just the perfect bit of fluff to read between mysteries. Don't worry too much about the world-building or major character development, just go along for the ride. Snarky, sexy, and sassy, I overall enjoyed this one even if I don't see myself reading it again. I also could have done without all the casual f-bombs; I'm not a huge fan of being bombarded with vulgar language in my fluff reads.

I enjoyed this clean romance for the most part, but it was, frankly, a bit on the boring side. The ending also got rather melodramatic. But if you are just looking for something relaxing & sweet, this one should fit the bill. And it also knocked off Iowa for #ReadtheUSA2021 & #SeparatedbyaPondTour @Andrew65

This one wasn't especially on my radar, but it was August's pick for #thatsclassic and seeing as it is quite short, I thought it was a great time to add another beautiful Penguin paperback to my collection!!

This is definitely a book that had me wondering how I would have felt about it if I hadn't known the spoiler. The writing is super atmospheric & I loved it. Stevenson is one of those authors that every time I actually read one of his books⬇️

New petition to force all books to include a book map! How hard is it, especially when it involves real places?! Finally printed off my own map, only to discover little tidbits like Mexican Water is actually a town and Lake Powell is REALLY far away from Albuquerque. I'm overall enjoying this series, whose MC is law enforcement for the Navajo nation. This one was published in 1978 & involved the AIM, which I only had a vague knowledge of. It's ⬇️

This was an #LMPBC book & I quite enjoyed it, as I do most Heyer stories. This one did get a little rambly, & while stuttering in real life doesn't bother, having to c-c-constantly r-r-read it b-b-began to get old. But overall, it was a bunch of entertaining shenanigans. @Chrissyreadit I should get this in the mail to you next week!! I've so enjoyed reading along with you all!!

I've said it before & I will say it again, Litsy needs a “WTF“ option for books that are batshit crazy but compulsively readable. I blew through this entire book in one evening because I did not want to put it down - despite the fact that no one was particularly likable, the plot was completely unbelievable, every twist just made the story more absurd, & the more I think about it the more questions I have... But I couldn't stop reading!! ⬇️
