Welcome to Litsy!

“This is amazing,” Jules said. “It‘s a creepy Scandinavian Narnia. I can‘t believe we found something like this!”

“Trisha?” Ava said into the phone, and Jules whipped their head around. “We‘ve got a situation up in the showrooms.”

“I‘ll be right there,” Trisha replied and hung up.

“Seriously?” Jules said. They sighed with melodramatic disappointment. “We find A Wrinkle in Time, and you tell the manager?” 😂

March #bookspin and #doublespin! I‘m hoping to at least get to the tagged book since it‘s only a novella but the other is a bit of a chunker and I‘ve been struggling to pick up larger books lately. So we‘ll see how it goes. @TheAromaofBooks

“Damira followed the blood down the hill.“ #FirstLineFridays @ShyBookOwl

This was a vacation purchase, found in a delightful Oxfam store (you Brits are mighty lucky!) This is an ominous novella filled with foreboding. Sylvie is 17 and spending a summer with her parents and a university group living as ancient Britons and getting a glimpse outside her life with her extremely strict and abusive father. The book veers towards its inevitable climax and was a compelling examination of our continued primitive nature.

More Murderbot!!

Mensah is in trouble and Murderbot (a bot programmed to protect clients and kill those who attempt to hard them) uses its free will to decide to help.

Dry humour & science fiction, I love this series so much.

#lgbtqia2025 as Murderbot sorta counts as asexual? @Kenyazero

The writing is beautiful. No denying that. But I also cannot deny being lost quite a bit and just blindly fumbling through this one. #wickedwords - scar

February wrap up! Not a bad reading month. My favourite was the tagged. Let's see what March brings.

The audio on this is only 3 hours, and if you liked Horrorstor or like the idea of a story that takes place (partially) inside an IKEA-like store, this is for you. It‘s less horror that Hendrix‘s book, and leans scifi and multiverse. LGBTQIA young adults searching for a missing grandma. Good times!

Went to China in 2016, what an experience. I was sick sick 80% of the trip..ugh, but I did tour the Labrang Buddist Monastery. That was INCREDIBLE. So peaceful. Couldn't photograph inside, but I took a picture with the monk who was providing the educational tours. Such a rare feat. And that sculpture is handmade with yak butter. It's so incredibly detailed.

Anyways, this audiobook reminds me to slow down and reminisce on these old memories. 🥰😍

A cozy sci-fi for anyone who needs a reading brain break. The audiobook was wonderful. I love how slow-placed and soft the book was. It was perfect for the moment and helped me to feel refreshed in my personal life and in my reading journey. It reminded me of my trip to China in 2016, we got to tour a Buddist Monastery. Just beautiful. Wow.

Listened to this a while ago. Starting book 2 A Prayer for the Crown-Shy now. 😁

Anyone else enjoy these?
