Welcome to Litsy!

I haven‘t exactly been following through on #ReadOrDonate this year so I am going to let June be a mulligan and will finally make it out to my Little Free Library if I still don‘t finish these by the end of the month. Also I did not intentionally make the last 3 titles spell out WTF, but wtf 😂

Here are my picks for June's #BookSpin and #ReadOrDonate

I‘m choosing this one for my June #ReadOrDonate book. My daughter will be reading it as well.

My pick for June for #readordonate!

For June, I decided to try making one post for the monthly challenges I host. I‘m excited to see what everyone will be reading!

#MonthlyNonfiction2025 - your choice, or if you‘re progressing through the Dewey numbers, 500-599

#FictionalTraveler - A Place You‘d Like to Visit

#ThematicCozies - Celebration

#ReadOrDonate - Your Choice

#AllergicToChunksters - Continue with whatever you‘re currently plowing through, or start something new 🙂

A cute modern #lgbtq+ YA retelling of Jane Austen‘s Emma! Very enjoyable, and it‘s a quick read.

I‘m glad I finally read this one. It‘s been on my shelf for a long time. It hit hard and showed how quickly life and circumstances can change. Will you look away, will you be persistent in helping, will you see past the first level and look deeper?

#WeeklyUpdate

Been sick and haven‘t read as much. 4 audiobooks, my #ReadOrDonate book and the #NoPlaceLikeHolmes story.

Great idea, but poorly executed. Christine's husband has recently died, so she & her son decide to celebrate Christmas in the cabin that her husband had rented before he died. When they get there, things go bad in so many ways.
Warnings for a brutal pet death & for an ambiguous ending. Numerous parts of this book don't add up 🤷🏼‍♀️

This one was okay. The pacing was choppy/slow, and a lot of the character motivations just didn't work for me. I also get annoyed whenever I hear the “if you don't want the government tracking/checking your every move you're obviously a criminal“ argument: it's simply not true. It was a fun concept, but the execution just didn't quite work for me.
