Welcome to Litsy!

My plans for #SeriesLove2026 is to finally finish The Pendergast series by Preston and Child 🩶

No set in stone reading plans for 2026 but I‘d like to dive back into the works of Appendix N, finally start Berserk and get through some of my books on nature

I did not realize this was part of a trilogy. So I read the last book first! This is a wordless picture book about a child who draws a door and escapes into an adventure. Her father goes after her and rescues her from some bad men. The background artwork throughout the book is beautiful and I'm looking forward to reading the other books in the trilogy.

To all fans of Amor Towles, I ran across an interview he gave in my Strand Magazine. I scanned it so that you could read it below, if interested. It's not the best scan (did it with my phone), but it's still readable. 🤩

Here is my final bracket for 2025!
My top 5 reads are:
1. The Inheritance by Ilona Andrews
2. When the Wolves Come Home by Nat Cassidy
3. The Silent Companions by Laura Purcell
4. Vera Wong‘s Unsolicited Advice for Murderers by Jesse Q. Sutanto
5. Bonded in Death by J. D. Robb

Great story in same world as earlier His Dark Materials trilogy. Malcolm is the main character and he and Alice watch over baby Lyra. I will read the next one too!

I am in no way happy with this author as of late, but I did love these books, and Harry's birthday is quite big in this one. 💛
