Welcome to Litsy!

😭😭😭My husband & I were recently displaced from our home by a fire. No one was hurt & our things were fine, we did have to look for a new home. He knew how difficult an experience this has been, including having to seriously downsize my library. As a housewarming gift, he found something I I have been searching for- an Italian translation of my favorite book! Next Jan 1st, when I do my annual read it will be in Italian! 😭😭😭

The writing is beautiful. No denying that. But I also cannot deny being lost quite a bit and just blindly fumbling through this one. #wickedwords - scar

This book is an onion of intriguing layers, from the love story in letters unfolding between E and Henery to the friendship formed between their siblings Sophie and Vyerin as they seek to understand E & H's disappearance, not to mention the fantastical nature of this watery world and its academic social structure (and hints at extraterrestrial origins?)

Also love that this is an #OwnVoices novel in mental health and in love story via pen pal!

I wish there was more! Sometimes I hate coming to the end of the journey, even though it ended perfectly. I guess I can just start over again, though. 💕

February is the month where I kept falling asleep while reading, so it took me forever to get through books, lol. Almost done with the tagged book, too, which has been fascinating but also taking a long time to read.

I seem to be in an epistolary novel spurt - teaching So Long a Letter by Mariama Bâ to my World Lit class next week!

Overall I enjoyed this continuation of the story of a fae researcher and her fae prince. 4⭐️

Cute epistolary novel about two people who connect through an online dating site. Izzy lives in North Carolina and Brodie lives on a tiny island. I loved their mutual Lord of the Rings obsession and passion for books. I did feel like it should‘ve been edited down and quite a bit of family back-and-forth could‘ve been cut. A fun read with a subplot of great family supporting each other, just went on a bit too long.

Happy belated bookish Valentine's Day everyone!

Just had to share my Valentine's book haul from my sweetie!

And how was I able to have the shelf space available in the photo? Part of my gift was also a new bookshelf!

I may be just a teeny tiny bit spoiled. 😳😆
