Welcome to Litsy!

The tagged book isn‘t necessarily going to be one of my favorite books for the year, but it‘s my favorite for the month. #wrapup

#january #wrapup

Making a good start at #auldlangspine with these - top and bottom shelf are from the list @CBee gave me. All very good! I‘m only about halfway through the Dunne but it‘s a terrific listen so far. Middle shelf are book club picks for my two in-person book clubs, which have been unfortunately lackluster. As sometimes happens.

December #serieslove2024 #wrapup

Only read one book in December for series love but I enjoyed it.

December #wrapup.

December was so busy I‘m surprised by how much I read! Great end to the reading year.

I‘m moving to StoryGraph, so here‘s one last #wrapup from Goodreads. Some stats are from my own spreadsheet and some from GR.

Out of 77 authors, 43 were new in 2024, 51 were women, and 18 authors of color. At least eight authors identified as LGBTQ and/or the story featured one or more LGBTQ POV characters.

Surprising no one, almost half (43) were mysteries. Six were MG/YA, 15 had a speculative element, and 18 were historical. More in comments!

Which book was my favorite in December? Was it the intense historical novel that left me with a book hangover? Was it the intriguing cold case mystery? Was it the wistful story of siblings in space? Was it the charming prequel to a book that was a monthly favorite earlier in the year? Was it something else?

You‘ll have to wait until Sunday (if I counted correctly) to see! 😎

My favourite was definitely An Ember in the Ashes and Carrie Soto is back

November #wrapup

Another great reading month. Rewitched was a real clunker and There There was the stand out. Like Water for Chocolate was a favorite reread

A bit late with my wrap-up, but this weekend was just crazy.
The Third Gilmore Girl was definitely my favourite.
