Welcome to Litsy!

A work acquaintance gave me these plus some others to donate to my building‘s library. Picture taken on the glorious seats of the Newcastle to Sydney trains. Already graffitied so you won‘t. Ha!

The review backlog continues. The Echoes pulled at my heartstrings but didn‘t destroy me like I was prepared for..after reading reviews (and the blurb!) I was hesitant to pick it up for fear of being too sad, but I found plenty of moments of levity here. 3 timelines, 2 settings: different perspectives and locations. Max is still lingering after his death, watching Hannah in the London apartment they shared. Hannah remembers her past in Australia.

Tore through this police procedure set in a dying, drought-plagued Australian farm town. I thought the author did a good job immersing you in the setting and the characters‘ lives and motivations. Well-plotted with good suspense and a satisfying resolution. Thank you @TheAromaofBooks for sending me this gift! #bookspin

Not the best in the series, but still an enjoyable “cosy” read. Phryne is such a wonderful character.

Yes! I only lend to a few people now who I know will eventually return the book. @BookmarkTavern #sundayfunday

After a year and a half hiatus from my reading journey. I am back at my original challenge of trying to read all the books I own. I put all 119 unread book titles into an antique teapot and I draw each book. It‘s been working except I keep buying more. 🤦🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

A spot of op shopping yesterday after Friday work drinks with the new girl at the yacht club. Grand total 🟰 $43. I did the whole of Lifeline over in an hour. That‘s impressive for one who wishes to escape with a slow shop as often as time and funds will allow.

Ok, one of the #ToB discussions mentions the word “nondescript” and SURE ENOUGH, I find this word on page 1 of my book today 🙄
