Welcome to Litsy!

I loved the back and forth perspective/years. And the plot! Well done!

I can‘t seem to settle on my next book so I‘m going to see if a mystery will draw me in enough to stick with it.

I really wanted to love this book, but for whatever reason it didn‘t strike a cord with me. Maybe I‘m not in the right frame of mind. But it looks like I borrowed this book from the library once before and returned it. And I‘m doing that again. If you read this and you love the book, that‘s fabulous.

This last in this series does not disappoint.Midwife Sarah Malloy & her PI husband Frank, investigate the death of a young woman who is determined to publish an expose on patent remedies( containing mostly alcohol & other addictive drugs).The victim‘s father asks couple to find justice for his daughter.Historic details such as the difference between various carriages & the introduction of the electric car add authenticity to the story.Partaking 🔽

Tried to read while Fenrir got a little stroll outside of his table ... didn't work. The little goober still won't stop only going places he shouldn't and trying to eat things that are clearly not food ... plus he got stuck under a chair. Oh well, I still love him, and at least he's cute

A beautiful and delightful tribute to art, imagination, creativity and the city of New York. I love to discover dialogue free books, purely visual storytelling, There's such a wealth of possibilities, I feel like there's so much more to explore and experiment with in such a medium that there should be more out there than I've found. Happy to take recommendations!

Book #1 of 2025: “Bodega Dreams” by Ernesto Quiñonez

Set in Spanish Harlem, this novel centers on a fictional radical named Willy Bodega and his plans to improve the quality of life for his fellow Puerto Ricans. It‘s told from the perspective of a young man in the neighborhood who gets caught up in Bodega‘s work. It‘s a fast read and I enjoyed it.
