pick

This was a weird one, but I liked it. I found it on a list of books with good bi representation (#lgbtq), but didn't realize that it was part ghost story. It follows two characters: a woman in her late 20s working on a resort and exploring her sexuality (quite graphic, FYI), and the father she never knew. The twist is, he's long dead.

Sexy, compelling and full of heart.

CaseyTheCanadianLesbrarian I love this book! 5y

ShyBookOwl @CaseyTheCanadianLesbrarian It was really good. I liked all the references to double-doubles, too. So Canadian 😂 A good CanLit pick, though. Unique, for sure! 5y

What a journey! The last #seatosea pick has arrived along with my #N4C box of goodies @FantasyChick there‘s a Jason stocking in the box!?!?! ❤️❤️❤️ I haven‘t opened anything yet, but I‘m super excited! Thank you!

FantasyChick Yay! I'm happy you FINALLY have the books (stupid CP strike). I probably should have wrapped everything in the box but I wanted to make sure it got there in time. There's a story behind the sad creation of the stocking lol but I hope you enjoy everything! I had so much fun picking things 🤗 6y

Andrea4 I honestly dont even know who is supposed to be sending me the final reads... 6y

BookishTrish @andrea4 Maybe email Ariel? She hasn‘t been on Litsy much since she started school. 6y

Andrea4 @BookishTrish thanks!!! Yea I havent been on much since my life kinda went upside down 🙃😜 6y

BookishTrish @andrea4 upside down?!? Hope all is settling down and you‘re entering a calmer time. Hugs. 6y

Andrea4 @BookishTrish I am getting separated. So I moved out. Things have settled, fortunately as the holidays are not great for extra turbulence. Thank you for the hugs! I will take them!! 6y

I have my spot for the day. Wrapped in a blanket, surrounded by pillows. Perfect way to spend a rainy day. I swear, I WILL finish the last 50ish pages of this book today and mail it out @BookishTrish This has been a serious mood read and I honestly just haven't been in the mood. Almost done though 👍

BookishTrish Take your time ❤️ 6y

Melissa_J Are you feeling better? 6y

FantasyChick @Melissa_J I'm still experiencing a lot of cold symptoms but the worst has passed. I've been under some stress lately so I think my immune system must be down. It was awful for about a week but I'm slowly getting back to normal. 😊 6y

gradcat @FantasyChick So sorry you‘re unwell...get better soon! 6y

Finished up the tail end of my #LMPBC pick- would probably not have chosen myself on description but I really enjoyed this one! I loved how local it was, fortuitously fulfilling an item on the #ReadingWomenChallenge list!
@Jabberwocky @FantasyChick @BookishTrish

Jabberwocky So glad you enjoyed it! I was given it and likely wouldn‘t have purchased it on my own either but I‘m so glad I read it! 6y

GUYS. I can‘t get enough of this book. I don‘t want to spoil it for my #seatosea friends, but I‘ll link my good reads review below (there aren‘t any spoilers in it either.) the story took a hard left that I wasn‘t expecting about 1/4 of the way in and I loved it so so so much. Can‘t wait to see what you think, and neither can Lucille the cat. 🌿💙🐈

Jabberwocky @BookishTrish @Andrea4 @FantasyChick I will of course wait til late April to send it out to you all 💚 7y

CouronneDhiver She‘s so pretty! 7y

kgriffith Sold! 7y

Jabberwocky @BookishTrish Honestly she‘s a delight. I‘m glad she has a fan out there in the world! 7y

Jabberwocky @CouronneDhiver thank you!! @kgriffith awesome! Honestly it‘s so good. 7y

kgriffith @Jabberwocky it‘s on Scribd; I‘ve saved it, but I have a hard time reading on my phone and Scribd isn‘t compatible with either of my readers. We shall see how I decide to tackle it :) 7y

CaseyTheCanadianLesbrarian I loved this book too! 7y

Andrea4 @Jabberwocky actually, if we are starting in May then you won't send it till the end of May because we are meant to read our first book that first month. @FantasyChick @BookishTrish 7y

Gezemice 😻😻Lucille. I had a black and white cat like her when I was a kid. Can‘t have cats now, but we have rabbits with the same color pattern! 7y

Jabberwocky @Andrea4 that‘s fine by me too. 💙 @Gezemice that‘s awesome! We had a bunny a couple years ago, I loved him so much! @CaseyTheCanadianLesbrarian Right?! I‘m now on the lookout for her other books! 7y

Jabberwocky Hey friends, just checking in! I all ready have @BookishTrish s pick, but what had we decided on for a mail date again? @andrea4 @FantasyChick 7y

Andrea4 @Jabberwocky we would be mailing our first picks at end of May to get to 2nd person for June. Also we are doing reverse order? So I'm sending to @FantasyChick ?? 7y

FantasyChick @Andrea4 I think that's how it's working out. So I would send to @BookishTrish who sends to @Jabberwocky who sends to you! 😊 7y

Andrea4 @FantasyChick cool! 7y

Jabberwocky Perfect! 🤩 @Andrea4 @FantasyChick 7y

It‘s weird to be almost 24. I feel old even though I am very aware of how young I am. Just got back from brunch with a friend from high school, and I‘m happy to be home again with my nose in a book. 💚

Andrea4 😂24😂😂old😂😂 7y

Jabberwocky @Andrea4 I know it‘s ridiculous but it‘s a bit surreal to have breakfast with an old friend and reminisce about things that happened 6/8 years ago 😅 7y

Andrea4 @Jabberwocky oh dude, I get it...just wait till you can realise that 15y.o. was half your lifetime ago! Whaaaaaaaat!? 7y

So far this is the most graphic snippet. 😅 I‘ve thrown it under a spoiler so as not to offend anyone unintentionally. @BookishTrish @FantasyChick @Andrea4

Andrea4 😂😂 wow, yea, steamy! As long as everything is consenual in the book than I'm good. But if anything even slightly seems non-consenual, I'd rather not read it. 7y

FantasyChick Seems like they are having a great time 😉 Doesn't bother me one bit, I'm good 😊 7y

Jabberwocky @andrea4 so far everything is super consensual but I will watch for that. @FantasyChick alrighty! I‘m really enjoying the story 7y

Andrea4 @Jabberwocky thanks :) very much appreciated! 7y

I‘m completely drained. This week has been crazy! I performed my autobiographical coming out monologue every night this week and have worked all day. I‘m hoping to relax and tug myself out of this #readingslump with this book and some sushi. And the animals aren‘t that cuddly, they just want the sushi. #tuxedocatsoflitsy #queerbooks

Jabberwocky ALSO. I am thoroughly enjoying the book. However, it is quite sexy... and queer... I‘m wondering if anyone is uncomfortable with that? @FantasyChick @Andrea4 @BookishTrish 7y

JoScho Lol that dog blends in with the blanket so much I didn‘t even see him at first 7y

BookishTrish @Jabberwocky I‘m okay with it. I really liked how varied our reads were first time around too. 7y

Andrea4 @Jabberwocky good you're enjoying it! How sexy is sexy? Lol. Can you give us a snippet as a pic? 7y

FantasyChick Doesn't bother me one bit! 7y

Jabberwocky Sounds good! @FantasyChick @BookishTrish @Andrea4 There‘s just like a large amount of sex. It‘s not particularly graphic but there‘s lots of it 😅 I‘ll post a snippet when I come across a good one. I really don‘t want anyone to be uncomfortable 7y

Jabberwocky Also, big shout out to @Bibliogeekery I would have never picked this up on my own but it‘s so good! 7y

Bibliogeekery @Jabberwocky glad you are enjoying it! 🎉👍💖 7y

Jabberwocky @JoScho lol I know, she‘s silly. She‘s as close and I will physically let her to the sushi and won‘t budge an inch further away (edited) 7y

Andrea4 Well, I imagine I'll be ok with it but look forward to the snippet! 7y

Jabberwocky @BookishTrish @andrea4 @FantasyChick I tagged everyone in the snippet post, don‘t be alarmed that it‘s under a spoiler! I just didn‘t want to offend anyone 😅 7y

Sophoclessweetheart Funny critters 😹😹 Mine only hover when they‘re after something too lol x 7y

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks I hope today is a restful day 💞 7y

Hey #seatosearoundtwo what do we think of this option? By a #canadian and set at an all inclusive resort in Mexico. I‘ll post the synopsis below. I haven‘t read it yet so I‘m not sure myself, but I‘m definitely intrigued? @BookishTrish @Andrea4 @FantasyChick

Jabberwocky What‘s it like when everyone‘s dream vacation is your job? Ameera works at a Mexican all-inclusive resort, where every day is paradise — if “paradise” means endless paperwork, quotas to meet, and entitled tourists. But it‘s not all bad: Ameera‘s pastime of choice is the swingers scene, and the resort is the perfect place to hook up with like-minded couples without all the hassle of having to see them again. 7y

BookishTrish Never heard of this but I‘m curious... 7y

FantasyChick Sounds interesting to say the least 👍 7y

Jabberwocky Alright well as long as @Andrea4 isnt opposed I‘ll read it and make note as if I were sending it out to you girls, and if I don‘t love it I‘ll still have time to send something else 😅 7y

Andrea4 Down for itm 7y
