Welcome to Litsy!

A creepy, Satanic short horror listen that kept me under its spell. Strong voice. Stronger demon. Well narrated. it‘s a hard look at one NY professional woman‘s possession & bloody unraveling. #horrorfiction #demons #murderouswomen #audiobooks

Do not walk, RUN, to your local bookstore and pick this up. Absolutely wonderful. If you ever wanted a teacher‘s perspective on HP, this is the book for you. #summerreading #queer #fantasy

I liked this a lot. Humorous, spooky, adventurous. I love the interactions between Laszlo, Maggie & Lump. I saw where this was headed, but as the ending neared I really wondered how it would come together -a bunch of extra stuff seemed thrown in at the end… but on the whole it was good and I was quite entertained.

I loved the magic system in this and the fact that it's a magic school tale told from an instructor's perspective not a chosen one student.

Here‘s my review for this book. This book was also on my #bookspinbingo, #readyourkindle and #roll100 lists.

It was easy to pick The Incandescent as my May pick, since it has a huge standout for me. I wouldn't be surprised if it ends up being my favorite read of the year.

5/5

If you work at a magical boarding school, preventing demonic incursions is just part of the job, and Doctor Walden is extremely good at her job, despite her own past experience with demonic incursions.

I loved this book. I thought the perspective of a magical school from a teacher was incredible. I also loved the magic system within the book and the way it intertwined with everything. Overall, I loved the directions this book went in.

Picking up from Penric‘s Mission this sees Penric still trying to get General Arisaydia and his sister, Nikys across the border to safety. It‘s not going particularly well - until they take shelter in a brothel with a louse problem. Long story short, Mira‘s (one of the imprints that makes up Desdemona) expertise as a courtesan plays a heavy role in eventually getting them all to safety. As always, I love the slice of life nature of these books.
