Welcome to Litsy!

Yellow - Sunshine 💛 #PrideRec2025 @PuddleJumper
These books have summer vibes, the characters having their adventures out in the sun ☀️

This was a bit of a disappointment. I have read Kann before and really like her book Romantic Agenda, but this time around I was just annoyed with most of the characters. Our MC felt super juvenile - she is in college but I am reading an actual YA of boys set in HS and they are acting more mature than this.
I thought everyone around her was awful including her best friends & love interest which is always a bummer
Overall this just wasn't for me.

Friday #Pride book recs!

Ace and Intersex books are not very common. Here are three each I recommend.

Ace = A-sexual this is such a scale! Angela Chen's nonfiction book Ace helped me so much to understand that range. I really recommend it.

**I originally added a book that after more research (I read it years ago before I knew better) appears to be harmful. This is an updated graphic.

Narration was top notch!

This one was giving “The Wicker King” vibes, and I liked Ancrums more. Fans of this book definitely should check it out.

A heartbreaking story!

I‘ve got my May #Roll100 ready to go! So far I‘ve been finishing one of my picks each month, which will probably continue to be the case. @PuddleJumper

Leftover dandan for breakfast, alongside the next Dreamhealers novel. I think I‘m just gonna punch through to the end of this series now. It‘s nice to have sustained time with the characters instead of wondering when I‘ll get to see them again. The individual books are expensive and they‘ve never gone on sale the whole time I‘ve had them on my wishlist, maybe because of their inclusion in subscription services.

I made the trip over to the far railway station this morning so I could visit Chenonceau, which was lovely! I spent a good hour tromping around the grounds before I even went into the chateau, and I had a lunch & book break in a whimsical garden dedicated to landscape architect Russell Page, with sculptures by François Xavier Lalanne.

I finished DREAMHEARTH when I got home, and it was another lovely read from Hogarth. Such great characters.

I haven‘t read much since I last posted because I did make it to Villandry along the Loire à Vélo! It was an amazing day. The path itself is beautiful and these gardens were absolutely worth the trip.

This was also my longest bike ride ever—more than 50km! It was my first ride of 2025, too, so we‘ll see if I can move tomorrow.

Now I‘m gonna chill with my book. I‘m excited to dive back in.

I‘m up earlyearlyearly to see if I can rent a bike and explore the Loire à Vélo, but first: coffee and book. I read the first third of DREAMHEARTH while I waited for the rain to back off yesterday, and I‘m excited to read at least a third more today. If the bike rental isn‘t possible, or if there are lots of scenic lookouts to stop at, maybe I‘ll even finish it.
