Welcome to Litsy!

Here is my list for August's #BookSpinBingo challenge. My list is mostly challenges and book clubs. My goal is at least four bingos and, of course, to read my #BookSpin and #DoubleSpin selections in August. Wish me luck! 🤞🤎📖📚

July #AuthorAMonth #ReadAway2024 #SeriesLove2024 I read Yellowface by this author last year and really didn‘t care for it. I‘m about 1/3 of the way through The Poppy War and it is a much better book. I had planned to listen to the entire trilogy this month but now I have my doubts that I will finish even the first book this month. I became distracted by a re-listen to another series and I really want to binge it.

I loved Yellowface so not sure why I‘m surprised that I‘m enjoying this so much but, I‘m really enjoying this dark academia novel. The footnote reading in the audio version though, not so much.

Tbh this was a bit of a slog but I very much appreciated all of the linguistics involved. The author clearly did so much research.

An interesting mix of remorse, revenge, grief, and hatred propelled this plot forward. Ike and Buddy Lee are an unlikely duo of justice considering how much baggage and prejudices they carried into their hunt for the murderers of Isiah and Derek.

I finished my June #authoramonth a little bit late, but very glad I read this book. I‘ll definitely check out Cosby‘s backlist. @Soubhiville

Tough one to rate. This started off really strong, maybe a little dry, towards the end it got very gruesome …&so much starts happening, some characters/plot points disappear &return.
I will likely continue the trilogy because I am pretty invested in Rin & where her choices may lead her.

Ultimately enjoyable, though the pacing in the first half leaves a lot to be desired. Would round up to 4 out of 5 stars. If you can push through to when the real story starts in the back half, I‘d say it‘s worth it. #AuthorAMonth

I‘ve been slacking on my #authoramonth selection, I have about 150 pages left & I‘m not leaving here till I finish it.

Very fun picking this one up here at Waterstone‘s in Reading England for #authoramonth next month. @Soubhiville
