Welcome to Litsy!

I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it.

Quick, Predictable, and not an accurate description of an adolescent psychiatric floor (at least not one I worked on).

Ok I had to get into the trend! thanks @TheLudicReader ! I really thought I would get Red but it got edged out by orange… which is also accurate. I have not read any of the books they featured but want to read 3 of them and could easily be convinced to read the 4th 😂

Surprisingly accurate.
I've read both Orange 75% and Red 70% and both feel so like me.

It bothers me a bit that the bottom 2 say A orange instead of AN. (I see the coding error there 😕)

March wrap-up! I finished 8 books this month, including 3 new releases, 2 #botm picks, and a short story collection.
🥇We Could Be Rats
🥈Tender is the Flesh
🥉Project Hail Mary

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I am such an Emily Austin fan. Her books often feature smart, quirky, emotionally wounded, interesting lesbians. While this tackles mental health issues, it never feels too dark or overwhelming. It feels real, compassionate, and even absurdly funny at times. This book is about Sigrid and her sister Margit. They are each struggling in different ways that are discovered as you read their thoughts in the book. Austin treats her characters so kindly.

There is something so refreshing about Emily Austin‘s captivating dissection of life. She breathes a fresh perspective into whatever she is examining and managed to write a book about suicide that felt curiously delightful.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Emily Austin is an absolute must-read for me! Her books are the perfect blend of intellectual stimulation and quirky darkness; my favorite flavor of literally fiction. This is a heavy story told with an often light tone, and utterly thoughtful. I don‘t know how Austin pulled it off. It‘s hard to describe further without spoiling. This short novel says so damned much. #coverlove
