Welcome to Litsy!

Bookish This Or That

This is a new book (not yet on Litsy). It was everything I wanted the movie Prometheus to be. Where Prometheus fell flat, this book excelled. A team of scientists travel to the nearest Earth-like planet to look for the intelligent life they've been picking up signs of. Things get ominous and quite frankly, a little terrifying. Non-stop action the entire book. My anxiety was in overdrive. Best sci-fi I've read in a while (and it's my fave genre).

Is almost Thanksgiving.

I'm thankful for my beautiful family. What about you? What are you thankful for?

Do you read one book at the time or can you read multiple? Let me know your answers. I personally can only do one at the time.

I know I‘d love this. But between losing Milo and the holidays and having to overhaul my apartment idk if I can manage trying to organize it myself so putting it out there in case anyone was contemplating doing a Christmas card swap. I‘d love to do cards and bookmarks.

💜It‘s the same as the title of a book blog I started a couple years ago. I‘m not sure about keeping the blog, but I love the way of sounds and I think it describes me pretty well!

On my bucket list: “The Eye of Binhai”. This stunning new library in China holds up something like 1.2 million books and it looks endlessly creative. I want one like that in my town in Florida.

Gonna give this indie author find a whirl

I had to put my cat down yesterday. He was my favorite reading buddy and the best cat I‘ve ever known. RIP Runt. I will miss you

I got my Book of the Month books today. I went with Imaginary Friend, Well Met, and The Ten Thousand Doors of January. What did you get?

My September wrap up. Favorite - The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo. Least favorite - Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Graphic novels just aren‘t my thing!

Part one- @lele1432 this is my interpretation of a happy dance....👯‍♀️👯‍♂️🤩🎃 I was beyond excited to get home to open my #screamswap package and boy, am I glad I didn‘t open it before I went to work...otherwise I would‘ve been bouncing off the walls. Clearly, I have no control when it comes to my favorite candies! 😁😊 where did you find the NBF PEZ?!? I love it thank you sooo much!

I very much enjoyed the first book, An Abiding Fire, so was looking forward to reading A Deceitful Subtlety - it didn‘t disappoint. It‘s entertaining and fun! Historical fact is cleverly combined with fiction to tell an intriguing and engaging story and it‘s written in the author‘s individual, amusing and quirky style. The characters are great and I am becoming quite invested in their lives. I can‘t wait to find out what life throws at them next!

This is a book review for a book I just finished. This completes the #bookishbingo prompt “A Book You Read In One Day”.

Cutest little free library I have ever seen😍💕

It‘s true.

This is my review for another book I finished for #bookishbingo. This fulfills the prompt “Title begins with ‘S‘”.

This is a review for a book I read on Amazon Prime. Amazon Prime has short story collections and you can read them for free on Prime so it‘s cool. This fulfills the #bookishbingo prompt “A Book About Change”.

Audiobook podcast started. Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë.

I was able to read 5 books this last month. How many did you read?

My August reads! Still have some reviews to write. As a teacher, the start of the school year is kicking my butt and putting me behind!

My month's pick is "A Curve In The Road" by Julianne Maclean 5/5⭐

This is loving and tender story of the love and respect of a young boy for his Grandfather. The author, Dr. Jeff Mio, is a psychologist who specializes in issues of cultural diversity. This book is written with a meticulous but loving voice. Great for early elementary readers.

Hi!
