Welcome to Litsy!

The story is crazy and over the top, and the MC Lottie is pretty lovable. On the one hand, she‘s a sweet and unsuspecting senior citizen with bingo games at her church and ailments galore. On the other hand, she‘s left a years-long trail of murders in her wake and isn‘t above committing more to keep her name clear. No one is safe around Lottie.

This be a super fun TV show. I hope someone develops it. 🔪🔨📺

October wrap up. I forgot to add Pet Sematary. I finished it at the end of September but I started over and listened to the audio book in October. Such a great narration! Everything I read was 4-5 stars. The tagged book surprised me. I usually hate books where the narrator is an antihero, and I‘m not in the habit of cheering on serial killers, but Lottie was a hoot! I‘m now gearing up for Nonfiction November. Happy Halloween! 🎃

This plot line in this one is crazy, but highly entertaining and well written. I enjoyed it.😆 #hauntedshelf #BlackCatCrew @BookwormAHN

This book definitely exceeded my expectations. So good!! Just enough gore and suspense to keep that constant hum of anxiety alive in every chapter. This is definitely a 'just a few more pages' type of a book, that will leave you sleepy the next day but with no regrets. Ha.

A former killer is forced out of retirement in order to stay out of prison. I'm a sucker for an elderly lady serial killer, and this woman was diabolical. I didn't know what outcome to hope for. The book was fun, not too serious.

Very light reading month for me. I DNFd Ninth House and finished Hazel on the morning of September 1st. So that‘s actually only 6 for the month!

DELIGHTFUL! (Is that a bad thing to say about a book with a senior serial killer and a high body count?)

Fast-paced, clever, and surprisingly charming. I‘m so glad this was an Aardvark selection and even happier that I took a chance on it.

A 74 year-old serial killer thought she was done with that old life, moving on to retirement and bingo. But then she gets lured back into the killing. The story is a lot about aging actually. Hauling dead bodies is rough when you have arthritis and your memory issues make it hard to keep track of your lies. I would have liked a bit more humor. But it‘s a clever premise.
