Welcome to Litsy!

I can‘t believe I filled a whole book bingo card! 😮🎉 I‘ve always regarded the many bingo-related posts here with equal parts admiration and certainty that I could never complete a full card, so I have defied my own expectations. 😄 It was super fun to weave this into my summer reading and to discover at the final hour (it was due today) that I could make the books I read this summer fit into every one of the categories.

Adorable sticker and a book I knew I‘d need my own copy of for highlighting, purchased to support a great local bookstore that‘s super affected by two consecutive Comic-Con cancellations. (They also have a fun podcast! https://www.mystgalaxy.com/podcast-galaxy-not-so-far-away ) 💚

So I stumbled upon Mysterious Galaxy bookstore because Charlaine Harris is doing a virtual event there for her new Gunnie Rose book. Whilst on their website, I saw this Literary Care Package option, in which they individually curate a box with books + optional literary accessories. I thought I‘d give it a try. Once you order (minimum purchase $10), you fill out a form with your preferences. Super excited to see what they send me!

A pic of Patricia Briggs during the Q & A portion of the signing. I really enjoyed listening to her talk about her work and the kinds of stories she's planning for later.

A pic from the Patricia Briggs signing I went to last week. I managed to get one of her signing with the big book poster close by.
