Welcome to Litsy!

Meh. A few good stories in the bunch but not what I️ was expecting. And I️ have absolutely no clue why Neil Gaiman‘s Narnia/bestiality-porn was included in a collection of JEWISH #shortfiction when Narnia is a specifically Christian allegory. 👀

⭐️⭐️ / 5

Stories I️ actually liked:
Uncle Chaim & Aunt Rivke & the Angel (Peter S. Beagle)
Semaphore (Alex Irvine)
Golems I️ Have Known... (Michael Chabon)
The History Within Us (Matthew Kressel)

Still no closer to bingo, but I‘m pleased to have another book ❌-ed off the #TBRbingo card nonetheless thanks to this weekend‘s #LitsyPartyofOne! 🤘🏻

Jumping into the #LitsyPartyofOne for a little while before we head out to brunch for my mom‘s birthday. Lots of options for what I‘ll be reading this weekend, but I‘m starting with finishing the short story I‘m in the middle of from the tagged #shortfiction collection & enjoying a nice cup of tea. 📖🍵 #goawayimreading #ilovemymomandalsobrunchbuticantwaittocomehomeandkeepreading #somamybookssolittletime

This is exactly why I never leave the house without a book: meeting a friend for brunch and she is running late. I‘d say I‘m surprised but this friend is notorious for her tardiness.... which I usually don‘t mind but I‘m still sick so I‘m cranky. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

And the moral? Life and death are ruled by Nature,
Foolishness and faith, by man.
Between the God of Moses and Temptation,
You do the best you can.

from Fidelity: A Primer (Michael Blumlein)

Clearing my palate of the #postapocalyptic with some #jewishlit #shortfiction & a fresh cup of peppermint tea. 📖🍵 #goawayimreading

My favorite time of any & every week: weekend #bookandbreakfast. Not sure which of these is going to be my morning read, but I hope to finish Killers of the Flower Moon this weekend even as I'm enjoying taking my time with the #shortfiction of People of the Book. #jewishlit #scifi #fantasy #BOTM #currentlyreading #bunnychairs

Happy weekend, y'all! 🤓😎

The perfect bookish way to prepare for Rosh Hashanah: Jewish #scifi & #fantasy #shortfiction. 🍏🍎🍯 • #jewishlit #jewlit

This is tough because I don't give a lot of ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ reviews, but based on what I know about these books, I suspect they have a decent chance of making the cut.
