Welcome to Litsy!

This was fun and a nice distraction from … all this.

Little by little I‘m working through #serieslove2024 and #tenbeforetheend while I figure out what to read for the rest of the year.

1. This time of year, at least, it‘s sunrise.
2. Worst petsitting job (ever)*
* I set aside The Grey Wolf for now for reasons I‘ll describe in the comments.
#two4tuesday on Wednesday

hopefully this novella is better than “nothing but blackened teeth”. #horror

edit: finished the novella in about a hour. 2/5. Interesting plot, but good god someone needs to rip away their thesaurus. “unhandsomeness” instead of ugly, “phalanges” instead of fingers, and so on. there is a bonus short story (like 4 pages) at the end that I liked more than the novella #mermaids #bodyhorror

To start off it feels good to have Percy Jackson and the ground back together. But I think this series has one big problem, because the series is a prequel and we know what happens to series it kind of undercuts the entire series. I don‘t think this was entirely needed as I consider Percy‘s arc over as of house of hades. Aside from that this had a lot of classic Percy Jason moments. This was a good ready but won‘t be important overall

This week, my joy comes mostly from my cats.
💖Rambo enjoying the fireplace for the first time this fall.
💖Alice making biscuits in her cozy new bed
💖Two 8 week old kitten sisters that have joined us. No names so far, just nonstop energy.
💖Beautiful fall walks

#JumpScares aren't easy to do in books, but these titles all surprised me while reading in ways I didn't expect.

1. The Liminal Zone- this was my first Junji Ito, and he is a master of the horror manga.
2. Salem's Lot- the kid at the window has always freaked me out! A great read.
3. Night Film- this dark, twisted read will keep you on edge and have your heart pounding as it unravels.
4. Dead Silence- you never know what's around the corner. ⬇️

Finally settled on this. Horror set on a remote Irish Isle? Yes, please. That Nghi Vo also looks fab. I generally enjoy her books. This was difficult.
