Welcome to Litsy!

A slow-paced, contemplative novel about life running a bookshop. We meet various characters and discover the roots of their hopes, wistfulness and melancholy.

More vibes than plot, this was nonetheless a cosy read.

A major theme was work and the way it can both drain or enrich a life.

A sweet, gently philosophical read that celebrates books and coffee.

I didn't post my colour list as I'm using the same one each month - probably boring to see it posted each month, lol. Here are my March #BookSpin and #DoubleSpin picks. I had quite a few books I could pick from with both these prompts which was a nice change from some of the previous colours. It's been really fun doing colours of covers - allows for more freedom in selections which is working well for me.

“It has been said that books find their own readers- but sometimes they need someone to show them the way.”

At first the book was a bit slow; seemed to be about too many people who never set foot outside their homes, but the book although lacking in any real depth grows on you!

This one was also hard to choose. I liked multiple nonfiction books this month.

(I couldn‘t decide which 2 were the most similar 🤷‍♀️)

When you‘ve adored Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow, do you delve into the author‘s backlist, or keep the love with TTT? Turns out it is ok to keep reading, I absolutely loved this one too. A completely different book to TTT, this was short, sweet and gave me several love stories I didn‘t know I was looking for. It leaves the best possible bookish-hug feeling. If you need a winter pick me up, highly recommend 💙

March BOTM picks are live!

What is everyone thinking?!

And don‘t forget we get to choose a Lolly finalist or the winner for free!
