Welcome to Litsy!

This was a great audio book with a full cast. It included 3 short stories: Technophobia, Time Reaver, and Death & The Queen.

Bk5 of May is also done. Novellas are great if you have a few of them to read quickly! The 2nd in the Wayward Children series, this is Jack & Jill‘s story, of their trip through their door to The Moors, a place of beauty & horror. One twin is in the vampires castle as his daughter, the other in the windmill as the mad scientist‘s apprentice. Brilliant story🖤🩶 #BookspinBingo #SeriesLove2023 #Pantone2023 #ReadySetRead

Bk4 of May is done. I started to read the 7th in this series & realised I couldn‘t remember the previous books! Stupid Covid brain fog. So I‘m rereading all of them, thank god they‘re novellas! This was just as wonderful as the first time I read it in 2016. A unique take on the portal fantasy, it‘s about the children who return & are cut adrift from both worlds. Eleanor West‘s school is their haven, until the bodies are found. #BookspinBingo 👇

Bk3 of May is done. Loved the conclusion to this mythology/earth magic duology so much! I need to include more BIPOC fantasy into my reading coz this was fabulous. For a YA story there‘s a lot of very heavy themes here including grief & the burdens of duty but there‘s also snark & the power of love. Highly recommend. #BookspinBingo #FourFoursIn23 #Pantone2023 #ReadySetRead

Bk2 of May is done. I‘m really hoping this means my mojo is coming back, but I‘ve prob just jinxed it! The 1st in a YA duology by a BIPOC author, it features an LGBTQ+ & BIPOC cast in a mythology/magical retelling of the Medea story involving poison gardens & earth magic. I loved it so much I‘m already halfway through the sequel. #BookspinBingo #Doublespin #FourFoursIn23 #NoBuy2023Bingo #ReadingTheUSA #NewYork #Pantone2023 #ReadySetRead

My first book of May is done! What a crap month it‘s been. Thank god Hubbys home & ok, though he was bloody lucky. Finally got my mind settled enough to read a book & it was amazing! Such a beautiful “found family” story, I really hope she writes a sequel like she did with Garden Spells, these characters are too lovely to let go🩵 #BookspinBingo #Bookspin #Booked2023 #FeaturingNeighbours #ReadingTheUSA #SouthCarolina #ReadySetRead #52BookClubRC

This was a fantastic thriller. Alex gets an invitation to an exclusive writing retreat with her favorite author. Unfortunately, for her, her ex-best friend has also been invited, and her favorite author is nuts 💚

I really enjoyed this one. You have a cannibalistic little mermaid traveling with a plague doctor, and then they meet like the children of the corn and their gods. It's nuts and beautifully written 🖤

I borrowed this book from our local library as one of my Random Picks last month and finished it today. It was entertaining and cute as well as unexpectedly touching. I love Madeline a.k.a. Gwen Hathaway and her bard friend, Arthur. A good summer read! #50 #BookSpin #15, #BFC23, #MagnificentMay, #ReadySetRead, #SayMyName, #ReadtheStates Oklahoma

This book was barely a pick for me. It was a great premise: three generations of women who are natural witches & how they survived the men in their lives. However the main story started out rather predictably & was the least interesting. Also I'm rather sick of the all men are evil trope.
The cover is pretty though 💚
