Welcome to Litsy!

Also from last w/e on my multiple 📕 swap raid on the way home from 🩰. I want to see the tagged book‘s play these hols but it‘s sold out already! I will try to get to Prima Facie before it sells out. The 🐧 is to add to my collection & the recipe 📖 is for my sista 🦊 & I to test out when I visit her these hols to watch my niece‘s full dress rehearsal for Frozen Disney Junior as because of my rehearsals during term I can‘t get to the show itself.

A cool concept that left me wanting more out of the narrative at the end. I suppose the best explanation, without giving too much away, is that it devolves into more typical YA tropes. It could have been so much more. Silvera and I share an understanding of death… it‘s his “living” definition that left me unsatisfied.

Just purchased these books to share with incoming Kindy parents at an orientation session next term. Love my job (most of the time 😉) 🥰.

I loved this book. Meet Bud, an obituary writer with a wry sense of humor and an amazing circle of friends. He‘s all about life and death, living and dying. I even wrote down this quote “We do not know where death awaits us: so let us wait for it everywhere. To practice death is to practice freedom.” Did I mention that I loved this book? I cried through the last 50 pages. I even loved the author‘s note and the acknowledgments!

A beautiful book 🥲😭
Lenni is so funny 😃

Read for reading challenges

4/5

Apologies for the awful image!

I was absorbed in this, couldn't predict what would happen or to whom.
I didn't expect to enjoy it and was very pleasantly taken with the way the premise played out.

I've watched a few of her adaptations and read the Apples one but this was much better!

5) Em, who never ever climbs, climbed from the floor to a stack of books in my office. I was utterly transfixed watching her progress!

Tagging any Litten who wants to play.

A #oldlangsspine from @BennettBookworm I really liked this. Yea there is an actual plane load of characters but all were different and well written. A fascinating story about a lady who predicts age and reason for death for her fellow travellers it was a great exploration of fate and human responses to fear. I loved the main character but all the others and the sense of interconnect was also great

Oh I enjoyed this so much more than I thought I would. It might be my favourite Moriarty yet. (It‘s certainly up there with Big Little Lies and What Alice Forgot). The audio is great with fab Australian narrators.
