Welcome to Litsy!

I keep forgetting to share my November reading wrap up! I haven‘t read 4 books in one month in awhile so yay! But I hope I can top that this month.

Part art book/part memoir, this beautiful little book shows us Santa Fe as it was 100 years ago, and laments how it‘s changed in the following 60 years. A lovely little time machine.

The title of this book couldn‘t have been better. This is one of Percival Everett‘s earlier novels and it reads like a literary thriller. Protagonist Ogden Walker is deputy sheriff in a small town, solving crimes and driving around. I knew there had to be more to it - this is Everett after all. So I started making assumptions.
What a clever book. Read it!

I like the slow pace and the sense of place in this book.🌵

August #bookspin pick. I‘ve never read Willa Cather before so this should be interesting.

Still needing a book set in #NewMexico for this year, I jumped into this supernatural thriller. Forensics photographer Rita Todacheene shares a talent for photography with both her grandmother and mother. But Rita‘s eyes capture more than film can… she sees ghosts. While some are benign, the book‘s opening and brutal crime scene comes with a ghost desperate for justice. With cinematic flair, this makes for an exciting debut to a new series!
