Welcome to Litsy!

I absolutely adored this magical book following two indentured young men as they try to find clever ways to circumnavigate their magically fueled contracts of indenture. Between the shady Untermarkt where supernatural beings buy and sell things like luck, dreams, and destiny, the delightful characters, the bells, LGBTQIA+ rep, the twisty plot, and vivid descriptions, I don‘t know what I loved most! This might be my top 2024 book. #Magic #LGBTQIA

#12booksof2024 February favorite @Andrew65

I wanted to finish this around Dec 31st but I had time today. It was a tough pick between Diavola, Dark Matter, and The Goblin Emperor, but The Goblin Emperor won 🎉 I don't think I'll get anything else read this year. The construction is still going on and on unpredictable days as well so it's difficult to keep on schedule. I've been treating this like a vacation.

This was my favorite edition of The Night Before Christmas and after my son was born I wanted to share it with him. It took us well over a year of searching my parents house to find it (after having no luck finding it online because I thought it was illustrations of muce instead of rabbits), but now we have it, and my son loves it just as much as I did. He asked me it read it twice last night.

Little book haul from Costco and the Goodwill.
I keep hearing great things about Frozen River. I liked this cover of Pillars maybe someday now I will read it.
I didn't realize Heyer had a mystery series, I know she was a terrible person but I do like her writing.

Has anyone read this God Save The Queen? Looks like a fun zombie series and the cover really drew me in I haven't heard anything about it before

I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it (some I‘ve had so long I don‘t even remember why!). Feel free to join in!

It's a Will Watt narration week, it seems.

There's a fairy market in London where you can barter anything, even your destiny. In this alternate Victorian Britain, one of the royals sells their destiny to an indentured servant who would like to gain his freedom. Meanwhile, the children in a workhouse want better conditions and hope their connection to the fairy world will help them.

The story suffered from too many POV,... ⬇️

I'm getting married tomorrow, so I'm taking the day off #HauntedShelf. We're big smilers, we are.

A very dark & necessary prequel.

There isn‘t much humor this time around. Understatement!

Most of the story is told by Galva who defies her parents & joins a unit called the Raven Knights. An interesting group!

Interspersed are bits of a memoir written by Galva‘s brother Amiel.

Focus of the story are these Goblins that want to make cattle of us all. Horror fantasy!

The world of The Black Tongue Thief is expanded.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2

July is approaching so it's time to post my #2024bookbracket. Both May and June's picks were very fun in different ways. I am looking forward to starting my July reads.
