Welcome to Litsy!

Beatriz Williams was my choice this month for the #BacklistReadathon

I wanted more of the 1998 story and less of the prohibition story on this one, but it was still enjoyable. I‘ll probably read the sequel at some point.

In this 12th book from the excellent Hugo-nominated October Daye series, Toby is again searching for a missing child, but this time, it's her own. I started this book during the last #BacklistReadathon but just finished it now.

I love Pat Conroy and his ability to tell a story, but even he can‘t get me to love a basketball memoir. Sorry Pat, it‘s me not you.

This was my #backlistreadathon title from August. Next time I‘ll stick to his novels.

I have a lot of free range through library holds and arcs.
Most of the chosen books are #buddyreads for #NaturaLitsy #Rereadtheclassics #Pemberlittens #Bookedintime (the tagged) and the Margaret Atwood for #Backlistreadathon

The last 3 are from my poetry tbr list.

Fishies up the last five books in this series for this months #BackListReadathon. The first 3 were fun and simple, but by the last 3 things were getting boring and repetitive. All in all, happy to get them read, and off my phone.

This was only 184 pages, a good story, but I never realized it was about two gay guys. Some sex scenes were not my cup of tea. Overall, the story was good enough for me to try book 2. This was my pick for #BackListReadathon @Clwojick @TheAromaofBooks and #RushAthon @DieAReader @Andrew65 @GHABI4ROSES It is alsonpart of a series #SeriesLove23 @Andrew65 @TheSpineView

I suspect Aster Glenn Gray must be independently wealthy, since she spends so much time on research and virtually none on trying to get people to actually buy her books. 😂 But she has a bunch of loyal fans and deservedly so. This fairy tale retelling/friendship story/college story/young adult historical romance/time travel tale weaves disparate threads in in an immersive, quietly moving, and astonishingly insightful way.

I'm continuing to work on Seanan McGuire's October Daye series, for the #BacklistReadathon, with the tagged book as my next read!

I have been looking at this book and seem to be putting it off. Well this week I'm reading this. #BackListReadathon @Clwojick @TheAromaofBooks

Whoops! It appears we've already started this month's #BacklistReadathon ! 😂 My brain is everywhere right now and reading is NOT going fast. Usually I try to read three books for this readathon, but this month I am going with one - the tagged book. Konigsburg has written a couple of my all-time favorite books (From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler and The View from Saturday) so I'm slowly trying to read all her books. Some have ⬇
