Welcome to Litsy!

“The encumbering elements of our histories must be spoken aloud, at least in the caverns of our brains, if we wish for them to take up wings.” This is a beautifully written story. Small and quiet, and yet so very heavy. It left me feeling a little bit lonely. I think Zorrie will stay with me for a while.
Another one from @DebinHawaii and #AuldLangSyne. I am really enjoying this list. @monalyisha

I smiled like a Cheshire Cat while listening to this whole audiobook—and I loved to hate this deliciously devilish MC.
There was a twist later on that made her almost sympathetic, but still, she‘s a horrible horrible person.
It was a fascinating dive into the publishing world. And the narration (Helen Laser) was SO clutch!

Thank you @Itchyfeetreader @monalyisha for #AuldLangSpine and lighting a fire under me to FINALLY read this one!!

I finally had time to choose my novel for #AuldLangSyne 2024! It‘s the Adventures of Amina Al-Sirafi, which I conveniently already have downloaded on my kindle. To make myself more ambitious, I also added #DearEdward, which I vaguely remember reading about when it was released. Looking forward to the discussion ☺️ @Karisa

I have not done one of these before, but @monalyisha has suggested this for #AuldLangSpine, so I thought, why not :)

Hi @JamieArc , I am Anna, 36 years old, living in Switzerland. I read mostly as an escape from my very busy and hectic life as a sports journalist and mum of a very active 4-years-old. My reading is all over the place: bookclub-reads, cozy crimes, stuff I stumbled over on Litsy. I am also a big sucker for books about books.

Looks like a great list, thank you @Karisa
Now I just have to choose which ones I will pick. I‘ve already read Hamnet, Telegraph Club, Demon Copperhead and Babel. Not sure if I will have time today to decide, since Christmas is in full swing here ⭐️🎄🎁.

#AuldLangSyne

The ones with the stickers were the books I read and loved from my #auldlangsyne list
Will be reading the Stanley Tucci book next!
Thanks for a great match! @monalyisha @JenReadsAlot

Another great book choice for #auldlangsyne from @JenReadsAlot
Such a great story - ending made me cry this morning!
@monalyisha

This one just didn‘t do it for me. I didn‘t really like the characters from the beginning and the ending felt rushed. It was a quick read though. I just wanted more! #192025 #2021 @Librarybelle

I figured I would sync my Goodreads shelves in preparation for #AuldLangSyne, but it added my To Read shelf to my Read list!

@monalyisha - Sorry if I made things harder! I‘m trying to correct but I have a huge TBR shelf!
