Welcome to Litsy!

After a puttering morning & the post office I am now ensconced in a corner of the coffee shop for my iced dirty chai, oatmilk+ 1 pump coconut syrup latte & breakfast turnover.

Reading this book from my #AuldLangSpine list from @Itchyfeetreader & after things are less puff-pastry-messy I‘m catching up on journaling & maybe a few more #LitsyLove replies.

My gray/cloudy/drizzly #SaturdayVibe is rest & recovery from the workweek.

I hovered between soft Pick & So-So but ultimately the love story at the crux of this felt a bit needless in my opinion. The originator of the “curse” on the other hand was very compelling and the final quarter made me like the book infinitely more. This is ultimately a story of family (both found and inherited) - I wish that was the focal point throughout. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Overall, was a quick read with a great setting.

The tagged *finally* came off hold for me! So on to a belated #AuldLangSpine pick 💖 @DGRachel @monalyisha

One of the things I really love about Camp Litsy is all the great new books I hadn‘t yet seen. Here are my nominees. Say Hello looks bizarre and interesting and I haven‘t seen it nominated yet. Avalon is written by the author of one of my favorite books a couple of years ago. Lastly, the tagged is published in July, so it doesn‘t make the cut, but looks really fun so I thought it deserved a shout out. #CampLitsy24

Goodness, this was excellent. And what a gorgeous cover! The summer after she graduates high school, Daunis is grieving her uncle‘s death and her grandmother‘s recent stroke, when she is drawn into an investigation of a meth ring in her community. Daunis embodies so many aspects of between-ness: in the transition from high school to adulthood, she is caught between the world of her mother‘s wealth & privilege and her Ojibwe heritage ⬇️

I saw this on a lot of #auldlangspine lists, so I decided to finally give it a try. This is a delightful cozy fantasy. Compelling writing, interesting characters, and all the good stuff - adventure, danger, shadowy characters, plus coffee and baked goods. 😂

I really love Abbi Waxman‘s writing style. It‘s quirky and unique and so are her characters. Nina Hill is a very likeable woman who has anxiety and loves books more than people. She surrounded by supportive friends and newly found family. The planner entries in each chapter add a fun touch to the story.
