Welcome to Litsy!

This was a fascinating sci-fi that poses the question “what would we do if things in our world just start to disappear?” This has elements of mystery, horror and a bit of an unconventional love story (not a romance). There is also a book within the book which is a horrific story on its own. This is not a happy book, but I am glad I read it. 4⭐️
A #roll100 TBR book done!

Here‘s my #roll100 picks for June. For June, I changed the books I originally chose for these numbers and decided to put in book club books instead to make it easier for me. I‘ve read some of my #roll100 books but I haven‘t read all of the #roll100 books I picked before because I‘ve had a lot of priority reads lately and I‘m more likely to read priority reads. I‘m looking forward to reading these books though.

Here‘s how I did on my #roll100 picks for May. I didn‘t read any of the books that were picked this month but I read the #roll100 book I had left over from February.

Here‘s how I did on #bookspinbingo in May. I completed all of the short stories for #noplacelikeholmes, completed the short story collection for #christiescapers, finished the January book for #naturalitsy, finished a book series for #serieslove2025, finished Assassin‘s Apprentice for #realmofelderlings, finished my #roll100 book from February, read an ARC on my Kindle and finished the book club book for Crow Club on Fable.

Here‘s how I did on #readyourkindle in May. I read another #roll100 book that I had left over from February and that was Black, Queer & Untold by Jon Key and I completed the All‘s Fair In Love And Football series by Desean Rambo for #serieslove2025.

Week 1 - I finished reading My Healthy Noggin (a February pick for #roll100)
Week 2 - I read a hockey romance for Chasing Books PR because I signed up to read it as an ARC.
Week 3 - I read Project Hail Mary (a book I read for a Fable book club called Crow Club)
Week 4 - I read Poirot Investigates (the short story collection we read this month for #christiescspers)

#Read2925

I think this is my final review of May, completed last week for #FictionalTraveler #SpanishSpeaking & the 6th of my #Roll100 picks for May (#4: Any BOTM). I‘ve put off reviewing it because I‘m still not sure how I feel about it. It‘s a quiet book about grief, depression & finding your life. Ruth leaves her job in NYC for a lake town in Guatemala, a place she felt most real in when she was there years before. It sort of meanders, ⬇️

#Read2025 #SeriesLove2025

Finished last week for #Roll100 (#40: Any ARC) & the second in the Miss Prentice's Protégées series, this one features Lottie who keeps losing governess jobs with her unladylike behavior as she borrows horses from her employers & fights advances from her latest employer‘s son. Miss Prentice thinks she‘d be better suited as a ladies companion & sets her up with a challenging dowager who can‘t/won‘t keep a companion. ⬇️

Finished yesterday for #Roll100 May (#3: Any ARC) I find I love the comfort of a cozy fantasy, even better if it‘s a foodie cozy fantasy as then one is. About Arletta, a human with no magic, just getting by on selling her amazing baked goods when Theo, an elf shows up with an invitation to the Langheim Baking Battle, an elf-run magical baking contest that no non-magical has ever won or been invited to but would change ⬇️

I only managed to get to one of my #Roll100 reads in May (though actually I did read a second one that was not one of the rolled numbers), so let‘s hope I read all these in June!
