Welcome to Litsy!

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.

Birthday book haul from River City Books in Soldotna, Alaska. I‘m planning on reading the tagged book first. I also ordered another one. 🙂

Hung out at the Farmers market on Saturday afternoon - had some boba tea, listened to live music, and finished this book! It was great! Kind of different from what I was expecting, but definitely in a good way! 💕📚

I haven‘t posted a book review in May yet. 😬😬

Finished this one on 5/5/25. It was okay, a little long. Music, demons, princes of hell, smut.

I expected a light read about a small town & their amateur detective who is a librarian with some supernatural elements. Which is what I got but with a twist thrown in. An enjoyable read, really loved the cat.

Low pick. This is my second Nghi Vo book and I love the way she writes. Lots of other reviews have pointed to this being very vibe based - and that‘s both a strength and a weakness - loved watching a city rise, fall and rise again over a large span of years but the weakness is that there isn‘t really a character that you grow to care deeply about.

This was boring. Maybe the audiobook was a bad choice.
