Welcome to Litsy!

So I‘m pretty wishy washy and change my ratings depending on how the book sits with me as time passes, but generally it‘s this very formal method

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I‘m going to recommend this book until the day I die.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️I liked it a lot and remember most of the details
⭐️⭐️⭐️ I remember liking it but not the book details
⭐️⭐️ It wasn‘t the worst but I‘ve forgotten it already
⭐️ How dare you make me read this with my own two eyes

1. Toss up between Oreos and Nacho Doritos

2. Big yes!

3. Extended dog sitting at the end of the month!

4. All. Of. Them.

5. Green!

I'm heart broken. I was planning to go to Scintillation Convention this weekend and hang out with my writerly friends, but my doc recommended I stay put and rest to make sure I'm fit for work in the long term. I've been looking forward to it for a year. That's disability for you, having to sacrifice life for health. I miss Jo, I miss Su, I miss Jon, and I'll miss them more.

Here is a photo of my dog Igrec. He's lovely.

Brian, hero from the age of legends, practices haikus to pose as a bard. Brian: Hippopotamus, As the leaves fall to the ground Mechs now leave Japan. ... Emperor: I don‘t quite understand the bit about the hippopotamus.

Jo Walton‘s stories remind me a little of Peter Beagle‘s work, lyrical and mythic. But she also has a slow burning sense of humor. Sweet, funny, and immersed in the history of myths and storytelling.

I don‘t always like reading short stories. If it‘s by an author I really like and has birds on the cover, you bet ha!

Went to a event with Jo Walton tonight and holy crap is that lady funny and brilliant. You all do yourself a favor and go out and read a copy of Just City NOW.

A great little collection, mostly stuff I hadn't read.
