Welcome to Litsy!

Simply adorable. I wasn't sure at first because I hated that the parents were so unwilling to be flexible with the boy's nighttime fears, but I really enjoyed where the story went. I also loved the character designs on the monsters. I can see why Yan is known for monsters. My husband picked this up for me as a Hanukkah gift because it's by a #ColoradoAuthor. I love finding local authors to follow! #PictureBook #Zombies

I really enjoyed this satisfying conclusion to Adam Binder‘s story. Slayton does an excellent job of crafting an engaging and thoroughly entertaining story. There were a few things that felt held back on such as everything that happened with Vran, but it didn‘t feel underdeveloped, feeling instead like it‘ll come up later. #LGBTQ #Fantasy #ColoradoAuthor

Did I listen to this for the second time this year because I wanted a refresher before I started the recently published third book? Yes! And I'm glad I did-- this made a fun Halloween read. #LGBTQ #Fantasy #Paranormal #ColoradoAuthor

Beautifully written this book is in turns heartbreaking and uplifting. Set in a time when life was tough and people had to be just as tough to survive. The main character, Gracie, has been a midwife for generations of women. She's accused of the unthinkable by a powerful man. As the story unfolds the secrets of many stay too come to light. How those secrets are delt with makes all the difference.

A book is a friend whose face is constantly changing. If you read it when you are recovering from an illness, and return to it years after, it is changed surely, with the change in yourself. ~Andrew Lang

My husband is getting me a number of impulse-buy books for our anniversary (very different from my usual don‘t-buy-unless-you-have-researched-and-it‘s-used-but-even-then-maybe-not style of book buying). It‘s been fun and we‘re hitting #localbookstore. Stopped by a favorite shop today and found a graphic novel I‘ve heard good things about and a Colorado author I haven‘t heard anything about! #coloradolocal #coloradoauthor #shoplocal

I love this book, and it‘s my rebirth pick for today‘s #acrossapril prompt! What do you do when your power has been taken away from you and you‘re faced with a world-ending prophecy? #coloradolocal #coloradoauthor @Eggs

I enjoyed this more than Flesh and Spirit. Carol Berg has some excellent twists and turns in this series, as well as some highly satisfying character development. I love the magic and spirits in these books as well. I'm currently working on a reread of this one. #coloradoauthor #fantasy #magic #nature #spirit #earthspirit

I picked this one up because of its beautiful cover and because it was advertised as being by a local #colorado author. This one took a while to get into, but as soon as I broke through the slowest part, I fell head over heals with the way magic works in this world, the earth spirits, and the characters that live in Berg‘s bleak world. I don‘t usually read books twice but I did for these. #fantasy #nature #spirit #earthspirit #coloradoauthor

1880‘s Colorado: The local midwife, Gracy, is accused of murdering a baby that she did not deliver. The accuser is a well-known, powerful local figure, so it ultimately comes down to Gracy‘s word vs. the accuser‘s.

The mystery of what actually happened to the baby drove the story and I was fully absorbed. The author stuck a few flashback-y things in toward the end that I didn‘t particularly love, but it still earns a very strong pick from me.
