#camplitsy2025
blurb

8 books in May! Can you tell I‘m between jobs? 😂

I‘m also halfway through Audition for #CampLitsy2025. Finding it a little tough going as I dislike the main character. I‘ll probably push through to finish it this week and start on something queer for Pride month.

A few more #camplitsy2025 books have made their way into my greedy little book hoarding hands thanks to Indigo‘s 20% off for teachers sale ( and my plum plus discount too 🎉 ) and my guilty pleasure #alihazelwood 🌶️🌶️

rachaich Really want to read Tilt 😊😊😊 5d
mcctrish @rachaich I‘m sad because I wanted to buy Woodworking too but they sold the last copy a few days ago 5d
rachaich @mcctrish that also sounds brilliant 😄 5d

Tilt | Emma Pattee

Pickpick

I loved this book. Annie is in an IKEA when an earthquake in the Pacific Northwest strikes. She‘s 37 weeks pregnant, miserably pregnant, and we follow her on her journey to find a loved one and home. This is broken up by chapters depicting her life leading up to this day. The whole time, she‘s talking to Bean, her unborn baby. This book was a rollercoaster of emotion for me. I was horrified, I laughed, cause Annie is funny, and I cried. Pick!👇🏼

Reggie Anybody still in the mood for a pregnant protagonist against the backdrop of disaster, in this case a pandemic, I would suggest this book. It‘s also great. 2mo
BarbaraBB I can‘t wait to read this one! Great review 2mo
CarolynM Sounds good 🙂 2mo

Cathythoughts Great review, I have it stacked already 👍🏻 2mo
Suet624 Can‘t wait to read this!! 1mo
Reggie @BarbaraBB @CarolynM @Cathythoughts @Suet624 @Rissreadswithcats Annie‘s husband is an aspiring actor and her flashbacks with him can be sooo funny and infuriating. There‘s a certain scene where he monologues at a parenting class. Pure gold. lol hope ya‘ll like it. 1mo
CarolynM I‘ve just voted for it for #CampLitsy2025 😊 Fingers crossed. 1mo
Megabooks I looked, and I had stacked Sealed from your review! I loved Tilt, too. The tension was just so fantastic. 1mo
Megabooks I‘m still thinking of the mom crawling into that school. God. That scene really got to me. 1mo
Reggie @Megabooks omg yes. I liked that even though the mom was rude to Annie at the IKEA, despite all that, they looked out for each other at the end of their worlds. It almost made me cry. 1mo

Megabooks I did not know there was a new Jess Walter! Thanks for putting that on my radar!! 2mo
Ruthiella I need to remedy that I have yet to read more Jess Walter since 2mo
BarbaraBB You did nominate! Thanks! I don‘t know Jess Walter but I guess I‘ll change that. And I really want to read 2mo

Sace @Ruthiella That was such a good book! 2mo
Sace @CarolynM Oh no! 2mo
Sace @Megabooks You‘re welcome! 2mo
Sace @Deblovestoread It sounded interesting. I don‘t know how people whittle it down to just four. I found so many upcoming books I want to read. 2mo

James: A Novel | Percival Everett
post image

#ToB25 and #LitsyToB25 have taken very different roads this year (which makes it so fun!) but in the end we all agree (at least a majority does 😉) on James as the winner of both tournaments. Percival Everett finally takes away the 🐓!

Thank you all for participating in this year‘s LitsyToB and I hope to see you next year. But before that, it won‘t be long until we‘ll be back with #CampLitsy25! Meg, Helen and I hope you‘ll join us there!

AmyG Thank you so very much. Camp Litsy will be here before we know it! 2mo
ChaoticMissAdventures Yay!! Thank you! This was fun to see, I know people wanted to root for underdogs but I really feel like this book deserves all of the flowers. And we all got to read some other interesting books along the way! 2mo
Suet624 Thank you so much for doing this. I really appreciate it. 2mo
Megabooks I know ladies!!! We‘ve got to start our longlist planning emails! It‘s about time to get submissions!! @squirrelbrain 2mo

GatheringBooks Looking forward to joining #CampLitsy2025! 2mo
fredthemoose Great tournament! Got me to read several books that would not have been on my radar otherwise. Thanks @BarbaraBB for organizing! 2mo
BkClubCare @sarahbarnes - For me, it is The Trees. Looking forward to reading Glyph soon. 2mo
BkClubCare Yes! Happy Spring Reading 🌷 everyone as we look for jewels 💎 to discuss at Camp 🏕️ BIG THANKS 👏 to everyone organizing and participating. 💖 (edited) 2mo

Lesliereadsalot Chiming in with my thanks Barbara! Added lots of new books TBR! I did love James, so happy it won out. 2mo
Bookwormjillk Thanks very much! Can‘t wait for Camp Litsy and hope that next year‘s books will be a little less awesome than James so that the winners won‘t be quite so obvious. 2mo
Hooked_on_books It‘s a wonderful, worthy book and deserves accolades, but I would also like to see the love spread around a little bit. Thanks for hosting once again and all that goes along with it! 2mo
Kristy_K @BarbaraBB Thank you for organizing! I‘m glad to see James won. 2mo
squirrelbrain Yes, I was only thinking about that the other day! @Megabooks ☺️ 2mo
BarbaraBB @squirrelbrain @Megabooks Looking forward to doing this again with you two ❤️ 2mo
Megabooks @squirrelbrain @BarbaraBB already thinking about the 4 I want to nominate!! 2mo
kwmg40 I'm happy with the result and had a great time following both #ToB25 and #LitsyToB25. Thank you so much for hosting! 2mo
cariashley Woop woop, what a great year all around! I‘m happy and unsurprised with the outcome as James was probably favorite read of 2024. I still think he should have won TOB for The Trees. Thank you so much for organizing again, it‘s been so fun! 2mo
sarahbarnes @BkClubCare that‘s another great one! He really is just a phenomenal writer. 2mo
Butterfinger My first year that I read so many from the list. I enjoyed it immensely. Thank you. 2mo
BarbaraBB @fredthemoose @lesliereadalot @GatheringBooks @Butterfinger Thank you so much for joining. I am glad you enjoyed it. I‘ll tag you for #CampLitsy25 this Summer, which is the best! 2mo
BarbaraBB @Megabooks @squirrelbrain I need to dive into the booklist but I can‘t wait to do so. We‘ll email soon - I always forget when we start posting and in what order things go! Xxx 2mo
Gissy I really want to read it but I will read Huckleberry Finn first 🤷🏽‍♀️ 2mo
Megabooks Usually we start talking now and post around late April so people have time to vote and then buy winning books before June. @BarbaraBB @squirrelbrain I‘ll try to pop an email today or tomorrow. 2mo
squirrelbrain Look forward to hearing from you! @Megabooks 2mo
