Welcome to Litsy!

Today‘s entry - the first mass paperback books are published

I had the delightful experience in April of traveling to England with my adult son. Our primary purpose was to travel to Liverpool to see our favorite football team play at their home stadium, Anfield. We had an amazing time, made more precious by the fact we witnessed Jota‘s final goal for Liverpool (IYKYN, RIP) During time after spent in London we fell in love with the Foyles flagship store, might be my favorite bookshop visit ever!!! 📚 ❤️

Netgalley posted this on Facebook today about how to write book reviews.

This was such an amazing novel. It had real growth of the characters. It show the importance of second chances. It‘s one of those books you want to read again and again. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Getting back into my #audiocrochet habit lately. I've missed combining two of my favourite things, reading and crocheting 📚 🧺 ❤️

I emerge from lurk to diss this bibliophilic classic. What the summaries, wikipedia, and most reviewers don't tell you is that Blades was a Caxton-obsessed misogynistic prick, and his book is mostly hearsay and hyperbole. It wasn't a waste of my time because I tracked down some anecdotes that are now presented as verified facts and cleared up some history, but I did spend a long time wanting to slug the man.

Just need a Latinx author or rep to complete the card!

Any recommendations Litsy??

I enjoy mostly science fiction and literary fiction, things I don‘t enjoy are young adult and romance - but find queer books with it more tolerable 😛.

This was a delightful book. (Aren‘t books about books always)? We tend to think of a library as a place with windows, doors, walls, cards, and other things. But what if some of them aren‘t so obvious—what if you have to search for them? What if they move around mysteriously from place to place, becoming accessible to multiple communities? This book is full of fascinating places that house books. My personal favorites: Kurkku Fields (Japan)⬇️

This had better be
