Welcome to Litsy!

My usual trio: an audiobook, a middle grade book and a bedtime book (which happens to be my #doublespin and #authoramonth book!)

Heartwarming found family type story with ghosts? Yes apparently that is what I have been looking for lately.

I really liked the characters, and the reveals were satisfying for me.

Sarah Addison Allen is November #AuthorAMonth

1) A dark damp weekend day at the lake in my reading corner; or a cool bright day on the back patio at the lake—my two “awesomest” reading spots

2) I was excited about our #authoramonth author, and so far I‘ve enjoyed the tagged book by her the most

Here is the big announcement #AuthorAMonth readers! Here are our 2025 authors!

The most votes went to Leigh Bardugo this year, then Kate Quinn, then Octavia Butler, so she is included as a repeat author.

I've signed up for three 2025 #readingchallenges already, and it's not even December! #WickedWords is a given of course if it's running, #ISpyBingo I very much enjoy, and I like the look of the prompts for #booklistqueenchallenge25 too. And I'll be running Four Fours again, hashtagged #fourfoursin25 this time.

What are you thinking of signing up for? Or running?

I‘m trying not to use Amazon as much, but I had some kindle credits that were expiring so I decided to get this in preparation for 2025 #authoramonth.

Yesterday I finished The Mafia Prince's Baby and started The Sugar Queen for the #AuthorAMonth challenge. @Soubhiville

Currently sitting at 265 books read for the year. Still want to make it to 300. Would also like to reach 2,500 hours. That is a new goal for me. I want to end the year on a bang. 🤞

We‘re more than halfway through November #AuthorAMonth readers! I hope you‘re enjoying your time with Sarah Addison Allen. I‘m almost finished with my book for the month, Other Birds, and I really like it.

December brings us one of my very favorite authors, Terry Pratchett. I can‘t wait for you to experience him if it‘s your first time! If you need recommendations I‘ll make a couple in the comments. 🙂💛📚

The past few weeks have been filled with more medical stuff and other disappointments so even though things are improving, I have been having a really hard time reading. It was lovely to have the #authoramonth excuse to pick up a cozy reread. This was exactly what I needed, a feel good read filled with magic and charm.

What do you think? Who are you excited for? Any suggestions for different ways to run the voting next year?

Thank you all for your nominations and your votes. I‘m pleased with the 2025 list, should be some great reading.
