Welcome to Litsy!

I guess, with this update now, I have a bingo?

Finished one book, started four new ones. Only one of the four I started was on my tentative #TBR. ??

Also, what exactly counts as a spooky treat? My European mind can't think of something other than "must mean disgusting".

Finished Sipsworth on a #readathon date with my husband while he was finishing up A Man Called Ove! A perfect pairing. ❤️ I wanted a book that would make me feel like I did when I read A Man Called Ove years ago, and this did that. A touching story where we get to know and love the characters and relish connection and hope. #deweysreadathon

I also redeemed some free fries today and the girl got confused and gave me two, so I brought one serving home and turned it into cheese fries with spicy mayo. It went down a little on the crunchy side while I read the first two stories in THE LAST SÉANCE. I remembered both, though not in great detail, and they left me excited to carry on with this deep dive into Dame Agatha‘s short horror. #deweyoct #readathon

Hopefully Litsy will let me tell you I‘m about to settle in for another chunk of ALL THE HIDDEN PATHS. (Earlier, it got grumpy when I tried to tell y‘all about how I reread THE MARROW THIEVES on audio and finished SPY X FAMILY VOL 12 while I ate a free sandwich I won on a free sandwich and which gave me ANOTHER free sandwich.)

Anyways, it‘s so damned moreish. I dunno if I‘ll finish it tonight after all, but I‘m gonna try. #deweyoct #readathon

Afternoon reads and snacks for #deweys #readathon #deweyoct

First book finished today for #deweys #readathon, though I started this one yesterday. I really enjoyed this book, a twist on the usual “haunted house” story that felt witchy and very atmospheric but not true horror (and very different from the only other book that I‘ve read by James Herbert, the Secret of Crickley Hall). Cottagecore horror lite would probably be a good way to describe it.

I finally finished THE STORY OF THE STONE this morning! It was great (aside from the bit at the end maligning the women, who‘re the book‘s main focus despite Bao-Yu‘s central character status), and the last five pages took me half a frickin‘ hour to read because of this adorable red menace. Argh. #deweyoct #readathon

1. Middle of Canada.
2. I‘m excited to finish ALL THE HIDDEN PATHS by Foz Meadows.

6. My daily short story, from the tagged collection.
7. I recently got a standing desk and it brings me a ridiculous amount of joy.
