Welcome to Litsy!

Sue Black, a Scottish forensic anthropologist, uses the areas of the body to explain the process of using human remains to piece together the life & death of an individual.

This was a fascinating read! Definitely for any fans of Bones. Black is empathetic while discussing some truly horrific scenes, while also providing in depth (if a little too dry) academic knowledge at the same time, so there‘s a bit of tonal whiplash. 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑

Almost done with my second #JuneOfARC read! And got to start the #OokBOokClub book today!

On the run from a controlling/abusive father, Lark finds refuge w/ humanity‘s greatest enemy. She‘s drafted to help protect the city w/ her magical control over fear from monsters. A romance, an enemy within, & an approaching army make finding a home more difficult.

I wanted to like this. The world building was interesting, but everything seemed so shallow. The romance, the magic, the people. I just wasn‘t invested in anything. 🌕🌕🌑🌑🌑

What a lucky break!

My BookSpin read is one of my picks for #JuneOfARC and the DoubleSpin is a buddy read I‘m doing with a friend of mine! (I do still need to buy a copy of it though! 😅)

Draw your swords and raise your banners! It‘s that time of year again my #NetGalley Littens!

Let‘s get that NetGalley backlog under control! At least a little bit! I have several June books coming up, so I don‘t know how well I‘m going to do on the backlog, but I hope to get at least two done! #JuneOfARC

Here is my #juneofarc wrap up! Link for reviews. Cole and Laila and the honeymoon were audiobooks and the pairing was a Kindle!

The pairing was the standout, but Cole and Laila was also lovely. The honeymoon was meh in the extreme

#MonthlyRoundup for June! Such a good month! So many unexpected good reads! 3 ARCs finished for #JuneOfARC and 8 read total! 🎉🎉🎉

After a successful #JuneOfARC I was wondering what to do for July - I want to continue eroding #MountARC.

Thanks @Kappadeemom for posting about #CampNetGalley.

And now that I've signed up there's a high chance I'll ignore all ARCs and just read whatever else looks interesting.

Anyone else download #CampNetGalley?
