Welcome to Litsy!

Thanks to @BennettBookworm and @ChaoticMissAdventures I‘ve made my list for #10BeforetheEnd and I‘m so excited! Really, it‘s the act of list-making that gives me this boost of confidence, like just by committing them to paper I‘m *almost* finished reading these 10 books already. 😋 Six are for book clubs taking place at my bookstore, so I‘d better get on that! Enjoy your lists, everyone!

Shearwater Island is permeated by ghosts and spirits-ghosts of the animals who were massacred there in the 19th century, the howl and unforgiving brutality of the winds, the flickering ghost lights, the perpetual twilight, the whispers of the dead…

I love Charlotte McConaghy‘s books. The climate disaster the human relationships and the subtle romances are always so amazing.

This is the composite image of the cover art by JaeHoon Choi for the eight books in the Korean horror series, Lovecraft Reanimated, three of which have been translated into English, and I hope more of them will be despite a bit of unevenness in the current offerings.
The top right cover with the image of an Elder Thing from HPL's "At the Mountains of Madness" looks especially intriguing!

Wow! What a ride this one turned out to be! I‘ve read one of her books before so I was expecting the climate change angle. But not the suspense that had my heart racing at the end! Great storyline, great characters, great everything. A clever way to shine a light on whet the ramifications of climate change could mean for all of us

I love a good multiple POV novel with a bit of mystery to be solved. The plot moves at a great clip,I liked the seed bank/ southern seas as a setting. Though I don‘t think every part is believable and/or needed to go that direction, that fact that I didn‘t stop reading quickly and/or became upset means that through the writing, I became invested in each character- whether I liked them or not. Good book!

Yes, I loved every page of Charlotte McConaghy‘s brilliant new novel. You will, too.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️an absolutely haunting read!!! Beautifully done with deeply felt characters, even the island was a character. This writing took me straight there where I could feel the wind, smell the sea and hear the life all around me.

I can‘t believe it‘s almost October!!
Also noticing an interesting water/ocean theme 🤔 and I wonder what will ultimately go up against The Wedding People!
