Welcome to Litsy!

#OminousOctober #Day2 #Campfire This is another supernatural book in the strange end of the spectrum. Which I love. It‘s a western about a half Chinese psychopomp who works out of San Fran, laying ghosts to rest and dealing with all sorts of creatures including zombies. She takes a trip out to the Rockies looking for missing young Chinese men & there‘s a scene where she‘s attacked while sitting around a campfire🏕 #TeamSlaughter #Scarathlon 6pts

Finally, tonight‘s letter was another tough one. I read this book my first year on Litsy after it was posted by a friend, and I loved it! 19yr old Lou Merriweather is a Taoist psychopomp, keeping San Francisco safe from ghosts & geung shi. When boys go missing from Chinatown, she saddles up & heads into the Colorado Rockies to investigate, either to bring them back or lay their ghosts to rest. Lots of fun.

#LittensDressedInBlood #Day8 #Ghostbusters This is a blast from my Litsy past. One of the first recs on this platform, it definitely lived up to expectations. A brilliant supernatural western, Lou Merriwether is a gunslinging, chain smoking, Stetson wearing 19yr old Taoist pyschopomp keeping 1800s San Francisco safe from ghosts & geung si. When a bunch of young Chinese boys go missing, she saddles up & heads into the Rockies to investigate.

Okay, @Wife @StephanieGeiser and @emilyjwhit9
Here‘s my stack of paperback choices that are under 400 pages and not too weird for most readers.

Have you already read any of these? #lmpbc Anything set your heart aflame?

If I can't find the time to read them, at least I can display them!

Thank you, thank you, thank you Kana for this awesome box of goodies! These books look like they are going to be great reads and I L♡VE the mug! #HalloweenGoesPostal #FallBookExchange @RanaElizabeth

Rating this a pick for the totally unique premise and diverse cast of characters but in all reality this was probably a 3.5 star read for me. The pacing was a bit off at times and the ending definitely didn't do it for me but I loved Lou Merriwether and would be on board to check out a sequel if one comes out.

Back in my hometown for my mom's birthday this weekend and about to start in on this awesome-sounding (and looking - that cover!! 😍) supernatural steampunk western.

#90sInJuly #day30 #CowboyDan This is, I believe, the only western book involving cowboys I own. I'm not a big fan of westerns as a whole, it's just not my genre, but this is not just a western, it's a paranormal romp through the deserts of California & Colorado. Lou Merriwether is a gun slinging, chain smoking, Stetson wearing Taoist psychopomp who's investigating the disappearance of young Chinese males from San Francisco. It's a wild ride!🐲

#RockInMay #day12 #DustInTheWind This is a brilliant steampunk paranormal ride into the Wild West. Full of dust, ghosts, cowboys, missing Chinese immigrants & a gunslinging, chainsmoking, stepson wearing Taoist psychopomp, Lou Merriweather, it's a journey from San Francisco to the depths of the Colorado Rockies.

Weird Western + Steampunk + Gender Fluidity + Ghost Hunters
This was weird in the best sense of the world, totally original but with good world building and character development.

#onewordtitles #photoadaynov16

I only found 1 one-word-title book in the few I brought with me, so I now have a collection on my kindle. 😁

Slow burn western fantasy noir, perfect for anyone just wanting a good quick read that actually pays off in the end.

Snarky but loving biracial protagonist. i know so many people who I'm going to recommend VERMILION too. #ya #biracial #snark#mother #daughter #historical #fantasy #sanfrancisco #chinatown #asianamerican

I need to dive back into this amazing story. I set it down for a minute...weeks ago! I've been scared to start again because I'm certain I'll finish it in a single night... whether I want to or not! XD

Whoa! Acknowledgement that periods are a thing that happen = rare in print!

I wish my kindle could do colour 🤔

With @24in48 less than a week away, how am I supposed to choose my stack?? So many good books to read!

It's #FunFridayPhoto time! Today's photo: Show off your favorite bookmarks! I have had this zipper bookmark for several years. My cats love to chew it, so I have to hide it when it's not in a book. (My last favorite bookmark was a wooden one from WORD Bookstore, but my old cat bit it in half. She was fierce.) How about you? Be sure to tag me in the photo so I can see it!

Definitely a pick, this book is funny, original and thrilling all in one. The meld of Taoism, steampunk, ghosts & westerns works brilliantly. If you like writers like Lilith Saintcrow & Kelley Armstrong, you'll love this. 5🌟

Preach🙌🙌

Temporarily bailed on Girls On Fire, just couldn't get in the right headspace,but this is awesome! Lou is a 19yr old,gun toting,Stetson wearing psychopomp in 1870s San Francisco,sending ghosts to the afterlife. Until some Chinese boys go missing,and she rides into the Rockies to save them.5⭐️fantasy

Everyone uses their bookcases for flasks and loose art, right? Right?

Gonna pick this gem of a book back up after I finish today's read!
