Welcome to Litsy!

Amateur detective Wimsey‘s brother the Duke has been arrested for the murder of their sister‘s fiancée. The duke, the sister, the fiancée, some couples, the hired help are all at a hunting lodge when a gunshot is heard in the middle of the night. It turns out all the suspicious parties, including the deceased, have very big secrets. An excellent detailed investigation but I wasn‘t too pleased with the resolution. It felt contrived so the ⬇️

Book one in the Jackaby series was quite fun so I‘m starting book 2. #litsyatoz #letterB #serieslove @TheSpineView @Andrew65

Not really much of a mystery but let‘s face it I‘m only here for the cats. #thematicozies @julieclair #serieslove @Andrew65 @TheSpineView

I‘m moving on to the third book in the series for #authoramonth @Soubhiville

Also #serieslove @TheSpineView @Andrew65 and #LitsyAtoZ #letterU

3✨ I feel like these books are really rushed. It‘s a great read for young kids to boost confidence. I‘m wondering in the notes are a build up as well. The first two books are building up a mystery in the series that might give the books more main plot than going to other places from their magical treehouse. #SeriesLove

That's me all caught up with DCI Boyd (looking forward to the next release too) and crossing off my #bookspin pick for January

I enjoy these books more when George isn't in them. The quasi sort-of budding romance aspect feels too forced & not at all like Jessica to me.

This one's a January Book Bingo selection as well as part of a series (in fact, all the books I've read so far this month have been from different series ... never you mind how many are new series started lol).

Didn't quite reach my goal of 100 books in 2024, but I'm all right with that under the circumstances. A bit amused that my first/last and longest/shortest books have similar color palettes! Top authors reflect the amount of nostalgia/comfort reading I did.

Not pictured - completed the Death arc of the Discworld series for #SeriesLove!

These are the main series I am targeting for #SeriesLove2025

2 of them are new series, but the other 6 I am midway through. I aim to finish 5 or 6 of these series in 2025. I‘m aiming for a more focused approach this year. Last year I was too scattergun.

For each series these are the next books in the series for me.
