Welcome to Litsy!

Saturday morning #coffeeandabook ☕️
#BookSpin

One young woman in the Pacific Northwest is fascinated by old photos and vintage items. This little novella gives us a glimpse into the reasons behind her obsession. Her path crosses with a coworker and former soldier, and they have a sweet connection. Brief but beautiful. The scene where everyone at a party has to tell a personal story was particularly memorable.

So far, I've only got one book on my #ReadOrDonate list for April, but I'm sure there'll be more as the month goes on!

Centuries-old alchemist Zoe has arrived in Portland and is startled to find a gargoyle as she starts unpacking. And even more startled when he comes to life (oh, and he‘s a great chef). And then a man is found murdered outside her house. I really liked this book, not only for the story, but for these great characters. I look forward to reading more of the series.

Great Way to start the day…and a new book!

The description of this one as a "hipster cozy" made me roll my eyes, but I actually really liked it! There's a whole lot going on (maybe too much?), but I liked the characters and the setting. I'll definitely read other books in the series.

This is a slow burn. It's about a Palestinian family living in the US and the narrator is unusual. She has blue skin for whatever reason. There's a lot of symbolism and I may not have picked up on all of it.

Read for #DiverseCozy & #Scarathlon over a bunch of readathons that I‘ll list in comment. This is a slightly different cozy where the MC is a 300+ year-old alchemist who moves to Portland, Oregon & finds here self involved in solving a murder & trying to reclaim a stolen book to reverse the aging spell for a reanimated gargoyle statue before he is frozen solid for hood. I enjoyed the PDX setting & the mystery overall. The 1st book in the series ⬇️
