Welcome to Litsy!

I was reading and thinking, “This is such a pretty book. If I ever write a book, I‘d want it to be on this kind of paper. And the font! 🤩”

I flipped to the back and learned that I know quality when I see it! Ronaldson is the very first American metal typeface (1884), and it was printed with vegetable ink on acid-free paper made from second-growth forests, the pages gathered by hand.

I enjoyed this summer read that‘s been on my TBR since it was released. A book of friendship, love, family (born into and chosen) & finding your happiness.

No, YOU got all teary eyed reading about three unlike teenagers experiencing a solar eclipse… oh man, this was so wonderful and quiet in a very non-dramatic way, I loved it very much. Thank you, @JamieArc for putting it on your #ALSpine-List. #bookspin

Colgan makes me want to visit Scotland. Her stories, settings and characters are heartwarming and hook me from the very beginning. I share a love of her books with my #AuldLangSpine buddy, @KadaGul 💙💙

Well, Julie, I finally managed to read another book from your #auldlangspine list. And what a wonderful book it was! I loved every character, I loved the settings (especially Maine ♥️), loved the story. The ending was just perfect 😊 #ALSpine #readyourkindle @RebelReader @monalyisha

Completely redid my #bookspin list this month in the hopes to get some more numbers read than in the last two. I am excited! @TheAromaofBooks

North Woods is my favorite kind of story; it floats liminally between ghost story & not.

As a MA native who became a devotee of apples while pursuing her Lit degree in VT, I was predisposed to like this.

It‘s a fully immersive reading experience. Mason flaunts his ability to inhabit different voices - not just gender, age, or sexual identity but era & time, even species & kingdom. Come for the gorgeous prose. Stay for the sexy dragonfly erotica.

This was such a brilliant fantasy. The world building was phenomenal & the storytelling was thoughtfully paced. It was so interesting following Kai's quest to find answers in the present, balanced by the story of the past which revealed more & more of his and the world's origins.
This book was on my radar but I was hesitant to dive into such a sprawling fantasy. I'm so glad Sarah put it on her #ALSpine list, which encouraged me to pick it up!

So thankful to Julie @RebelReader for putting this on her #ALSpine list, as it gave me the push I needed to finally read it! Loved this story about Lakshmi and her family, both blood and found. I‘ve always been fascinated by the art of henna and appreciated the glossary (and recipes!) at the end.

I‘m now caught up on my January read posts. 🤓

I like Colgan‘s books and this wrapped up this series nicely. Another series completed.
