Welcome to Litsy!

An overturned coach full of students.
A stranded cable car full of strangers.
An isolated chalet full of friends.
Outside, a snowstorm rages. Inside each group, a killer lurks.

#StorySettings Day 13: There is a gingerbread-house-in-the- #prairie quality of this cottage in the snowy woods in this wordless picturebook by Fernando Krahn. How would you feel if you see giant unknown tracks right outside your door – out in the middle of the woods during winter time? It is not surprising then that the father in the story immediately turned to his rifle hanging firmly on the wall. My review: https://wp.me/pDlzr-19D

Fresh out of the oven, and it smells amazing: Auf den Kopf von Apfelkuchen. Upside down apple cake.

I tweaked the recipe a little, using less sugar, a tad bit more cinnamon, and switched to Granny Smith apples. Recipe is from the same baker who created the upside down rhubarb cake that we made the other week.

This is an oldie that I picked up at a used book sale. I used to love reading Linda Howard and thought I‘d give this a try. An ice storm traps Lolly in her mountain home and the local sheriff sends Gabriel to warn her. When he arrives, he finds her in the middle of a home invasion. A quick read (less than 200 pages) about their survival against the villains and the Ice/snow. I‘d probably recommend reading this in the winter!!

I guessed early on whodunnit but still wanted to read on and be sure. The last third or so I ate through rather quickly.
I really wish the author would start writing haunted house stories again; hers are some of my favorites

I think this might have been on a Book Riot cozy list? Not sure, but that may be how it ended up on my TBR.

I enjoyed it. It‘s a middle grade mystery with stories within the story, an inn for smugglers, a role playing game, and lots of snow and hot chocolate. Light and fun, it would be a good palate cleanser.

#SpringSkies Day 9 #SetInSnow/Ice I enjoy novels by this author 🤗

I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it (some I‘ve had so long I don‘t even remember why!). Feel free to join in!
