Welcome to Litsy!

These books always feel like coming home.
I've always loved books with doors and quests. And McGuire gives me a place to go each year that fills the door-shape hole in me that needs filling.
Somehow I've missed this one last year, so I have two doors to go through this year.
I love how each book continues on the previous books, but always have their own adventures in new unknowns.

A collection of short stories. Each story centered around a character's passion - friendship, lust, a mother's love - and multiply the passion tenfold in the larger context. I was highly engaged and couldn't wait to start the next story. #FoodandLit #LitsyAtoZ@Texreader @Catsandbooks

I listened to this one. (I preordered it a while back.) I am obsessed with the male voices! Oooo! 🌶️🌶️🌶️

Why do I do this to myself?
I'm not a Romance person, I hate the tropes and can tell from the first chapter who the love interest will be.
But still once a year I try a Romance novel.
So please know that it's not the book reflected in my rating, but my personal feelings towards Romances in general.
I should just stop torturing myself.

What would happen if you skipped from your 20s to your 40s, from all of the hard work starting out at your job to being successful at your career, from dating to find the right person to being married to a wonderful husband with 2 great kids? That's exactly what happened to Lucy after she made a wish on an arcade game, a wish that she could just get to the good part of her life already.

Delightful! A wonderful story about acceptance and found family!

“The connections between and among women are the most feared, the most problematic, and the most potentially transforming force on the planet” Adrienne Rich
This novel weaves together the stories of three women of the same bloodline: a 17th century witch trial; a young girl growing up during the war, kept closeted in her home by her father; and an abusive relationship in 2019. It‘s often a harrowing tale but I felt invested in the characters.

3½✨

This is a typical Hero's journey with all the usual tropes you'd expect. Nothing earth shattering or different. Still I enjoyed visiting the world of Alagaësia and getting to meet all the characters. I'm intrigued to see where the series will take me.
I have my suspicions and would like to confirm them.

Such a delightful, uplifting little story. It felt like an unexpected huge that I didn't know I needed.

Who'd thought opening a coffee shop could turn into an adventure?

I had no idea what the hell was going on in this book, and I do love when that happens! I enjoyed the supernatural aspect, the homage to Rosemary‘s Baby, and how Unger made the apartment building seem like a character. Very atmospheric and twisty!
