Welcome to Litsy!

Sign of Affection, vol 1
I took a couple years of American Sign Language class ages ago in high school. It‘s been quite interesting seeing the differences in signs compared to Japanese Sign Language 👍🏼

This was the worst book I've read in this series. It wasn't a cohesive book, it was a series of one shots with no tension and no meaningful payoff.

It's very clear that Rachel Reid has a favourite character. Ilya is afforded a level of compassion and grace that Shane is not. Ilya‘s mental health struggles are approached respectfully. Shane's disordered eating is treated as a joke (and magically goes away when they are outed)

Winter reading stack! 💜💜💜

Dishy and so much fun, Hornak is able to dash between 5 character POVs seemingly effortlessly. We care for every one of these family members, even while seeing their glaring flaws. Read for Giant Family Secrets!

Going for something not from 2025 on one of my TBR Shelves - I‘m doing the #192030 reading challenge which feels kind of fun and hopefully it will help me read some of the things that have been hanging out on my shelves for a long time.

It was my birthday week, so I went to some bookstores to celebrate. A wildly random assortment, some from the $5 shelves, some I really wanted, and I always choose one book from each store from staff recommendations that I have never heard of before.

Oh and two daily reading books, for which I blame @AnneCecilie and @Leftcoastzen

While I did not love this book, I also did not hate it. I feel it was just not the right book for me. It has a couple tropes that I do not love and so that turned me off from the start. Overall the plot was good and the characters were well developed, it was a good book. I would recommend!

Two women escape burnout by swapping houses for the holidays, one to spend time on a farm in a small town, the other to spend time in a big city where she can stretch her wings and be her true self. I loved watching the relationships develop, and thoroughly enjoyed the main and side characters. While not terribly original, this was a fun read with a satisfying flow and ending. #LGBTQIA #Christmas #SmallTown #BigCity #HouseSwap

😱I forgot 2 books read on August 2025 bk1

Another author thay I bought a couple of her books when BookOutlet shipped to PR. without knowing that they are Christian fiction. I haven‘t found much religious content which is not my thing. This story is about to reveal what happened in a murder. The church was involved but the story focus in the investigation. Some conservative beliefs are discussed but I integrated as part of the story⬇️
