Welcome to Litsy!

I've recently been catching up on the #fantasticstrangelings book club picks. I really enjoyed this one. Now I need to go back and read her witchy YA series. 🌲

This book was just exquisite! 🦜🌻🌿

I adored the main character of this book! Molly was such a delight, in the midst of quite a stressful mystery. Loved it! 🛎

I finished this one in a tiny mountain airbnb with the cutest outhouse, so I had to share!

Received this gorgeous #FantasticStrangelings book, set in Trinidad, which is where my mom was from - so excited to read this! ♥️

Also picked up this cozy to pass some time 🔪📚☕️

And look at that gorgeous weather for my day off tomorrow! #pluviophile

And buggy has recently gotten obsessed w those Moomin books… extra cute bc we have a lot of the older-reader books from when Mark was a kid. 🥰🥰

My #BOTM #BookoftheMonth for February (A River Enchanted); the #FantasticStrangelings selection on its way as we “speak” (Circus of Wonders); and the result of a no-reason-but-stress-relief gift card from my sister (the other 2, including the tagged, which I‘ve had my eye on since Jenny Lawson read it 😜).

Also, I know #sss people are waiting for matches..they‘re all done, I just got stuck trying to figure out a new mail merge program… soon…😘😘

Wow, OK. This was a strange one. Are unreliable narrators your jam? Then you‘ll love this.

Mrs March is a strange character. I was most unsettled by the way she thinks of herself as Mrs March, even when flashing back to herself as a little kid! As if that‘s always been her identity.

Definitely not a book I‘d have chosen on my own, and not a preferred genre for me, but I think we‘ll done for what it is!

Finished the tagged… very disappointed. I‘ve left a short spoilerish review on goodreads, for those who‘ve read it & want to know why 😕

Started Wintering. The 1st chapt was like listening to someone describe one of my greatest nightmares. I‘m glad I pushed through, of course. I‘m about 10% in & … I feel like I *need* this book right now

Also rec‘d #LMPBC #groupw book last night - Thank you Katie! ♥️

And rec‘d #fantasticstrangelings Jan book 🥳

I really enjoyed the Bookish First Bingo card, it did a good job of stretching me to find new authors. I'm not done with the tagged book yet, but I've been loving it!!! This is my first time reading Stephen Graham Jones, but I am definitely coming back for more! Can't wait to get to My Heart Is A Chainsaw, especially since it was almost a pick for #fantasticstrangelings and I usually love Jenny's picks. 🕸️👻🎃

I LOVED this book! It was full of everything Gothic that I love — creepy house, freaky wallpaper, unexplained happenings — and some reveals later on that I was not expecting. Would definitely recommend! I love how Garcia took the ubiquitous English Gothic novel and twisted it into her own creation. And I loved all the mushroom stuff! 🍄

“Little red riding hood is a ... proto-slasher.“

Grady Hendrix just said this in an interview and it blew may brains out! He was talking about how our culture is fixated on dead women and it rang so true. What is that about??
