Welcome to Litsy!

Fiction and non fiction collected from Marina Keegan‘s published works after her untimely death.

This was lovely. Her nonfiction essays were stronger for me, and I desperately wish more of her poetry was included. Her voice is compassionate and attentive. And I wish we could have seen what she would have done. 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑

The princess is cursed to die by a spindle, she is stolen away & raised as ordinary. But her fairy gifts cause problems, & there is still the curse to worry about.

The scene setting is unparalleled, as I expected from McKinley, but lord the plot is glacial. I think I would have enjoyed this better as an audiobook as the writing is lush & lyrical. & I wasn‘t invested in the romance. I kept thinking Rosie & Peony should get together.🌕🌕🌕🌗🌑

As part of my New Year‘s Resolution to read a quarter of the books I own but haven‘t read, I‘ve created myself this bingo board!

With the understanding that I am not allowing myself to buy a new book until I have a bingo! I‘ll be using the hashtag #UnstackMyShelf if anybody wants to use this.

@PuddleJumper ‘s #NoBuy2023 challenge was an enormous inspiration for this!
