#12BooksOf2025
August was another month full of great books: The Weeding People, King of Ashes, A Witch‘s Guide to Magical InnKeeping, The Compound… The one I still think about is Tilt, read for #CampLitsy Having grown up in Southwest Portland, the setting made it even more compelling.
#Top25of2025 Part Two
These 11 books were the best of the 135 books I‘ve finished in 2025.
Happy New Year!
January hopefuls…most probably some will go into February, especially as I will be back at work nect Monday.

#MyLitsyAwards
Some thoughts:
Honourable mention to #camplitsy Tilt for best bookclub read.
Beyond the Wall has a really eclectic queer kinda punk biker gang crew I‘d love to spend time with 😂 Read for #lgbtqia2025
Can‘t wait for the next #Murderbot.
Loved the SA Crosby and excited to read more. Ditto for TJ Klune which was a #QueerBC pick (I think).
Heartstopper is so different to my usual reads but it‘s sooo good. Highly recommended.
Great idea, and thank you for the template @CSeydel 🎉 #MyLitsyAwards
Best buddy read - I always love #CampLitsy and this year was no exception. I LOVED the worlds Okorafor created. (Honorable mention goes to Wild Dark Shore, it was a VERY hard choice!)
Characters to hang out with - I just want to curl into a corner of the witches tea shop and never leave 💗

#WinterCampLitsy
Dear #camplitsy friends you wanted a Winter Camp and we‘re delivering!
Once the #ToB shortlist is out, we‘ll vote for 3 books that didn‘t make it and read/discuss from mid-January.
Unfortunately our lovely Meg is under the weather and will be hibernating for now. However, Helen and I are delighted to welcome Holly @hooked_on_books to keep the campfire burning!
Not strictly book related….
But those of you who know me and my spreadsheet obsession (particularly for #camplitsy!) will know that my new sweatshirt is just perfect for me!
pickI missed reading for #CampLitsy this summer as I moved. But this got such a wave of Picks that I put the audio on hold and finally got to listen. And wow, it was really good!
I thought the format of present and flashbacks worked really well, and it was easy to slide into the main character‘s shoes (Birkenstocks!) as she tried to cross Portland on foot after an earthquake rocked the city. Oh yeah, while late term pregnant!
