Welcome to Litsy!

Time for hot cinnamon milk & this book. #moodread

My December #Bookspin (20) is a seasonal #MoodRead from books that I already own and my #DoubleSpin (10) is The Christmas Guest by Peter Swanson. I've been wanting to try something by him, so this little seasonal novella might be a good intro into his work.

I got a stack of books to taste test, some vanilla hazelnut iced coffee, spitz, and a plant that I will inevitably kill because I am learning that I do not, in fact, have a green thumb.🐛

Currently ignoring that stack for the tagged audio since my June goal is to #MoodRead, for purely statistical curiosity.😆 Who wants to start placing bets on if I‘ll read more or less than usual, have more 4-5 star reads, or even be able to resist a TBR?! Hah!

This sets the mood before opening to page 1.

Can we just talk about how sweet this book is?!?! 🥰🎃🌽🥧🍭#moodread #halloween #treat #scarathlon2021 #teamhendrix #screamathon2021 #spookoweenathon #anywayyoureadathon #wickedathon

I really enjoyed this HF imagining of Jesus‘s fictional wife Ana. Nowhere in any scripture is a wife mentioned but SMK really created a character who felt very much alive and real. It was clear how much research and time went into the writing of this novel as the details & historical content were stunning. Book did drag in parts and at times felt arduous but I appreciated the full saga & meticulous care the author chose. #FoodAndLit #Israel

Finally got around to my #AprilStats Not a great reading month for me,
9 books total
2 audiobooks
1 non fiction
2 graphic novels
3 SciFi
1 lit fiction

Hopefully May is better, I always read more if I #moodread rather than try to read books on a schedule(for challenges etc). What kind of a reader are you? A Planner, a Magpie(reading the newest shiny book)or a Free Spirit?
