Welcome to Litsy!

Light pick again. The relationship is cute, but Asahi's internalised homophobia is not so fun to read (nor his insecurity). Not sure if I'll read more, maybe?

Giving #BookSpin another, well, spin in 2026! 🌀

Dropped in some options for #FoodAndLit2026, #AuthorAMonth, and Book Riot's Read Harder challenge to help me choose. 😂

Staring in the top left corner, going clockwise 🔁
These were all the places I #FictionalTraveler to in 2025

Thanks for the ride @julieclair 🧳☺️

My goal for nonfiction is at least one per month. I got stuck behind Oscars Wars which I started in August and I‘m still working on.#Nonfiction2025

One of the most riveting books I‘ve read this year. Custodians of Wonder introduces people around the world preserving rare traditions that may disappear with them. Every story fascinated me. Both heartbreaking and hopeful, it‘s a powerful reminder of how much knowledge exists outside mass production. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

In Castillo in the very south of Spain, 'a tumbling little village built on an outcrop of rock in the midst of a pebbly delta'.

The best book of March was this one, about the first all female climbing team to tell up Nepal's Annapurna. Read for Food & Lit, I had ZERO knowledge of mountain climbing. It was interesting how much work and preparation went into the planning phase, then how tenuous those plans are once they were on the mountain. This year, a few chosen on a whim to fill a challenge were among the best of the year.

Englishman Dave Gorman travels to America and attempts to drive coast to coast without financially supporting any type of chain, be it food, lodging or gas. This should have been more interesting than it was. In fact, it could have been interesting if it were an article rather than a book--a book that felt like it would never end.

In American history, Paul Revere got the word out and helped win the war. If it had been Irish history, his horse would have been struck dead by lightning. 😂

This book takes readers on a photographic journey of Edinburgh with commentary by Ian Rankin, who shares stories of his youth and discusses how Scotland has changed over the years. I was predisposed to like this because the photographers also provided photos for some of Rankin's mid-series novels, such as Dead Souls and Set in Darkness, and that period of covers is my favourite. Would love a 2nd edition of this book (was originally from 2005!).
