Welcome to Litsy!

I sure wish we get an English version of this graphic novel!! Heck I‘d buy the French just to look at the graphics!

This was delightful. Darcy and Georgie are headed to elope, but the weather had other plans. Then the news headlines show Darcy‘s father is being held for murder. Darcy races off to help his father and sends Georgie home, but things keep going awry so she heads to Ireland to help Darcy prove his father‘s innocence.

This was delightful. I enjoyed vol 1 but found it a little scatty and lacking plot direction. But by vol 2 it has hit its stride and there is more story. I like the wry tone and witty banter between the characters. A good comfort read if you like a comedy of manners with beautiful homes and cakes and a hint of romance.

Library book sale haul!

This one reminded me very much of The Moving Finger by Agatha Christie, only with another real crime and an ending that was quite suprising. But I still ahd to think of Christie the whole time.

This was a lovely story. Clean romance. Historical. Loved the characters and the writing. I bought the next one in the series. 🤓 It was like a warm blanket at the end of a cold day. I could count in it being comforting and pleasant. 🙃 #romance #historical

This is fiction, but is based on/inspired by a true crime which culminated in the penultimate execution of a woman in Britain in the 1950s. It‘s told from the viewpoint of Zina and also her young Greek translator, Eva, and encompasses immigration, cultural translation and the treatment of women, particularly in the legal system, as well as the “whodunnit” element itself. The courtroom scenes are particularly sobering.

This book is badass and I can‘t wait for more of the nakhudha‘s adventures. “What madness to gaze upon the violent chaos and cruelty of this world and have faith!”

Here we go, April! 🩵🩷💚

Can't believe we've gone from snow and freezing rain to a random day at 20 Celsius!! Heading back down to colder temperatures tonight though ☹️. Staring this one for #authoramonth . I enjoyed the first book in this series so thought I'd give book 2 a read. Looking forward to journeying into Ancient Rome! @Soubhiville
