Welcome to Litsy!

“I heard you pinch the other waiter's ass," said the bandit, bored. "It's not even that good an ass. Shouldn't you be more discriminating when you harass people?"
"That's so rude," said the waitress indignantly. "Ah Kheng, you don't listen to him! You have a very nice ass!" Ah Kheng had vanished, but his voice drifted out from the kitchen: "Please stop talking about my ass."
"Ah, sorry," said the bandit. He looked mildly embarrassed. ⤵️

A complex cast of characters find themselves ripped from their lives when their latent magical powers emerge. In their new magical home that may be slowly dying, everyone has their own reasons for wanting to leave or stay. If you enjoy not-quite-rooting for gray characters in tenuous situations, this is a good one for you. I wish the mom got to be more than just a mom. #LGBTQIA #Witches

I listened to the audio of this book but had to show off my pretty special edition! 😍 I LOVED the story!! Give me pirates and demons and untapped magical potential, yes please! The found family aspect was especially lovely, as Mar struggles to trust in their relationships with others
I'm so glad #riseupreads gave me an excuse to finally read this one! @Catsandbooks

I may have gotten excited when making these rec lists! I just really like these books. Similar to my own TBR, I chose a few spooky levels ? #hauntedshelf @BookwormAHN

Scary & real are titles that either have magical realism or fall more into a "fiction" genre but have some fantasy element #reclist #blackcatcrew

The story and character relationships continue to develop as Alto and Elva band together with new and old allies to solve the newly discovered supernatural and political problems of the island. Some hilarious and adorable moments tucked into all of the seriousness. #LGBTQIA #Fantasy #Manga

My library hold came in early, I was hoping to read this during winter. The cover is stunning.

This didn't work for me. It was a bit meh

I absolutely adore Gibson‘s poetry. It‘s joyful and fierce and vulnerable and bursting with love.

TJ Klune is one of the authors that has never disappointed me and I guess it'll take a lot for that to happen. Yes, this book is different, but at the same time it's still a truly Klune book. I thought the first 3/4 were stronger though than the end.

I spotted this on a library book display and thought it sounded intriguing. It was a lot of fun! I didn‘t expect it to have so many LGBTQIA stories, which is always a delightful surprise. A few of these were so-so, as is the case for most short story collections. I loved the one with the ghosts. #ShortStory #DiverseStories #LGBTQIA
