Welcome to Litsy!

I love seeing how the different #bookbracket setups alter the matchups.

I‘m not sure where my head was yesterday when I posted my May book bracket pick — but I need to revise it! My top choice for May is “Not Too Bold“ by Hache Pueyo. It‘s a hauntingly beautiful story: original, unsettling, and deeply moving. At its core, it‘s about love — the kind that embraces someone completely, both because of and in spite of who they are...

This one is about 1/3 fiction (the folk tales) and 2/3 nonfiction… so I‘m running with it as nonfiction.

This was actually an easy choice for me. Honestly, this one stuck with me for days after I finished.

May was a fantastic reading month, making it tough to pick a favorite! In the end, Snapdragon by Kat Leyh narrowly edged out Fire From the Sky by Moa Backe Åstot to claim the top spot.

It really was a tough call this month between Fredrik Backman‘s MY FRIENDS and Alison Espach‘s THE WEDDING PEOPLE. I went with WP basically because it was the first book I‘ve read by this author, whereas I‘ve read several Backmans so I sort of knew what to expect.

I had a really slow reading month for April, but here's my bracket so far.

April wasn't a great month of reading. What I read was just okay, so while I pick Scalzi's “When the Moon Hits Your Eye“ as my top pick for April, it only comes with a so-so approval rating. I am moving it forward over The Black Cat Tail Assassins, but that's only because I felt just so-so about that book too. #bookbracket #2025bookbracket #readingbracket #readingbracket2025

I mostly read nonfiction in April, so this was a hard choice.

Seeing that this is the only work of fiction I read in April, I guess it gets this month‘s win by default.
