Welcome to Litsy!

I don‘t know exactly what this #snowycover has to do with the book I just read, but it was a very interesting story. #25alive

The book is about whether we place missiles in Poland pointed at Russia or the Iranians. Since the Polish people say 'no missiles in Poland' that is what Cotton Malone does. He listens to the people of Poland and does what they want even though the president of the US, Warren Fox, wants to place the missiles in Poland. This is a great story and one you should read if you like political books.

Latest Karen Pirie was good fun. Set in lockdown a librarian at the national archives links a crime writers manuscript to the disappearance of a young woman. With lots of nods and winks to the Scottish crime writing community, I think val macdermid enjoyed making the villains fellow crime writers. I enjoy the characters in the series, + it also still feels strange remembering lockdown. Hopefully, a new one soon + maybe a further TV adaptation

I've been so caught up by Alyssa Cole's Civil War historical romance series. I love the care toward historical accuracy, especially about a time as painful as the Civil War in the US, and I love the many different aspects / perspectives of that time that she gives us. In the first book, a spy for the Loyal League with an eidetic memory and a Pinkerton detective fall for each other despite all the risks and obstacles standing in their way.

Hubby gave me this for Christmas, and I started it this morning. I‘m already intrigued. WWII fiction; he knows me well😂

Getting into the last of Alyssa Cole's Loyal League romances and finally starting one of my #AuldLangSpine picks from @Laughterhp @monalyisha

I‘m late to the party, but HOLY HELL this was a fun ride! And not just because I‘m a reader of a certain age.

Finished this and immediately put my name on the library waitlist for book 2, which comes out in March.

Fun story of retired spies who get drawn back into the game when a dead body is dumped on one's driveway.

Enjoyable characters, twisty plot, nicely written.

Readable but I'm perplexed by its making the #bookerprizeshortlist
Sadie's like a generic greetings card: attractive front, blank inside. It's problematic when we spend the entire time in her head as it renders the other characters and events flat, too.
She does make some sharp observations of people at times, so why did she find Bruno (a ten-a-penny boring old fart) beguiling?!
A couple of times it almost became thrilling but then decided not to.
