Welcome to Litsy!

This is a thrilling dark sci-fantasy series. This is the second book, continuing many characters from the first book and adding some new intriguing and mysterious characters. The beginning was a little slow, and very political. At the 50% point it switches gears and becomes a mix of a dark sci-fi thriller and epic fantasy adventure. I do recommend checking some content warnings if certain content is triggering.⬇️

Simple, but powerful. Sometimes that is all you can do, and sometimes that is the exact thing you need to do.

Read the Malinda Lo story for #QueerBC, and some of the others. Lo's is a lighthearted “Roman Holiday“ plot in a not particularly different future. Kind of meh, honestly. I liked Mason Deaver's “boy band members ran away for the weekend and fall in love,“ and a love triangle story that ended, as so many readers hope they will, in a polyamorous relationship!

Is romantasy ruining Welsh?

Yup! This is why I had major problems with Ransom Riggs writing.

Sometimes you need to get out of your head (and off your FB news feed) and bury your head in a book. Decided to take a brisk walk to the local coffee shop and knock out some of my library books.

This was my #BookSpin for January, and overall, it's a solid Pick. Though it's the last book in the Raven Cycle series, it's only a short story and is told from Opal's perspective. You would definitely need to have read the other books in the series to understand what is going on and why. Though I haven't read Call Down the Hawk yet, I imagine that this is a nice bridge between the 2 series. #ShelfLove #2025OffMyShelf

“What?” Umar and I asked in unison.
“That tonight, we don‘t stop dancing until the sun comes up.”
And that was exactly what we did.

I took AP English during the time covered by the survey! Don‘t ask me what we read, because I don‘t remember. It wasn‘t any of these books, though. Still, I think of it as one of the best classes I took in high school. All 12/100 books are ones I read as an adult. Highlights:
1. Anna Karenina
2. Bless Me, Ultima
3. The Cider House Rules
