Welcome to Litsy!

Here‘s my progress on my Netgalley tracker. I‘m finished filling it in. I only finished 1 book and DNF‘d the rest of them but I tried to read them. If I‘m not enjoying the books then there‘s no point trying to finish them even if the publisher sent them to me for review. I used to feel guilty if I didn‘t finish ARCs but I don‘t feel guilty about it anymore.

Here‘s my review for a book I just DNF‘d. I‘m going to count this book for #bookspinbingo.

Release date: 3/5/24

I started this book. This is another Netgalley ARC I have to read and I‘ve decided to DNF it. This book is written from the perspective of Ellie Haycock and I don‘t like her. I don‘t want to spend any more time inside her head.

I was approved for this audiobook today. I was also approved for the ebook but I have the audiobook now and that will help me read this book faster. If I can find audiobooks for the rest of the ebooks I‘ve been approved for, that would help me read those books faster. I can read ebooks but when I‘m reading a book myself, it takes me longer and I need to concentrate. In order for me to concentrate, I need quiet in my house and soft music playing.

Yay! I checked my email today and saw that I‘ve been approved for another ARC.

#BookSpin chose for me this very advance NetGalley that comes out March ‘24. It‘s the sweet story of a girl with VACTERLs learning how to blend her would-be “normal” life with her actual normal life with the disability. Lots of important stuff here about autonomy, privacy, healthcare system failures, speaking up, and being heard embedded in a different sort of coming of age story with a narrator who is frustrating at times but also so believable.
