Welcome to Litsy!

4 ⭐️ Can‘t recall why I gave it the rating that I did. #2024 #historicalfiction #fiction #deweyreadathon

Went for a walk to listen to the Backlisted podcast episode on Lolly Willowes. I‘m hoping to reread it sometime this #readathon weekend. I read it years ago and was loved it, was reminded recently that Lolly Willowes was 47 years old when she went off to seek her independence in the country/ became a witch, and I just turned 47. Thought it was time for a reread! #dewey #deweyreadathon #deweys24hrreadathon #deweyoctober

#TeamSlaughter #Scarathlon2021 #DeweyReadathon #OutstandingOctober #BFC Walked 3 miles today and listed to 3 hours. I have roughly two hours left. I am gonna finish this tonight.

So I listened to 2 hours, with frequent interruptions- now I know why I‘ve never joined a readathon before!!! How do people do it? I‘m going to finish my night with a cozy mystery and trying to choose between these two! #deweyreadathon

Next up on audio. #deweyreadathon

This was NOTHING I expected! But thanks to @HOTPock3tt I picked it up and could not put it down! And it is my first book completed for my first #deweyreadathon ❤️ I started reading at 8:45, and have probably had an hour of breaks since then- so have read about 4 hours so far. This is a modern day fairy tale- but the horror kind, not the Disney kind. Very character driven and a very slow burn. It was also well written, and took place in Queens.

With King it‘s never about the plot for me. He has a way of creating characters, even in a novella like this, that make you feel invested in their lives. There‘s nothing scary in this book, just a story about neighbors finding common ground and realizing life is too short for petty disputes.

“Life is what we make it and acceptance is the key to all our affairs.” #deweyreadathon #readathon @DeweysReadathon

First book complete for the #deweyreadathon. I selected this one because I wanted to read more from Asian-American authors about their experiences. The graphic novel‘s protagonist is such a jerk that it‘s hard to care what happens to him. He‘s selfish, shallow, depressed, and angry about everything. Overall I wasn‘t a fan, though I do appreciate the brave approach to delicate issues. #readathon
