Welcome to Litsy!

I adored the tagged book. It‘s hard to read because of how horrific some of the abuse is, but she‘s a survivor and it shows in how she tells her story. She led me to The Power of Knitting, which made the list since I had nothing for June for this bracket, too.

This month I chose Faust! It was my first pick. My second for the month is The Satanic Verses and since I didn‘t have a book for June, Rushdie made it on the bracket, too.

#BookBracket2025 was very hard for July! I read six 5-star books, including two audio adaptations of all-time favourites, Anne of Green Gables and Dykes to Watch Out For, plus TJR's 1980s lesbian astronaut book and Alison Bechdel's brand new graphic novel. I decided Martyr! was the winner because it's so beautiful/complex, but I had to sneak in DTWOF as a wild card because it was so well done. It was so fun seeing my old comic friends in new form!

I had to sleep overnight on making a decision, but I've chosen Brom's Slewfoot to move on over But Not Too Bold in my #readingbracket2025. It was a very difficult decision! But Not Too Bold holds a special place in my heart! #bookbracket2025#readingbracket #bookbracket

My favorite read of July was Hungerstone by Kat Dunn—a feminist reimagining of Carmilla, the novella that inspired Dracula. I thoroughly enjoyed it, but it couldn‘t top my May favorite, Not Too Bold by Hache Pueyo. That means Not Too Bold advances in my 2025 book bracket competition!

My favorite book for July was When The Wolf Comes Home, but the current bracket winner is The Shining 🖤

Forgot to post this for June. #bookbracket2025 @CSeydel

My top pick for June was The Hike by Drew Magary. #bookbracket2025 #readingbracket2025 #bookbracket #readingbracket

I decided to change up my listening bracket and stagger my months to make things more interesting. Although, I'm sure the results will be the same either way...as of right now, Sunrise on the Reaping is #1 for the year with Atmosphere running second.

My favorite book this month was Wild Dark Shore 🧡
