Welcome to Litsy!

A teen forms an unexpected bond with a wolf and a team of scientists and tries to survive her death trap of a world. I read this because it‘s one of my library‘s community reads this year. I didn‘t care for it. It‘s an interesting book, and well told, but the main character‘s self-blame pity parties got really old and so did the author‘s shortening of words to sound futuristic and edgy (predator? Pred. Corporation? Corpo. Transport? Transpo. Etc)

I wound up missing a volume or two because of the confusing way this manga is structured, and it really showed up in this volume because I missed some important character introductions 😆 otherwise, another excellent volume. I liked the way we lean about Taichi‘s past in-chapter instead of in a chapter all its own. #LGBTQIA #Disabled #Manga

I am still loving this series. We get to see the characters continue to grow in their relationship and in their professional lives in this volume, and dove into the lives of some side characters as a fun aside. #LGBTQIA #Manga

A very enjoyable installment in the #Discworld series, mainly because of the characters featured in this story -- Angua, Sybil and the wonderful Gaspode!

A witch who lost her powers after casting a resurrection spell as a child uses her now minimal powers to manage her chaotic inn and the wayward folks it brings in. I enjoyed this cozy tale and all of its charming characters. I wish Posey and Clementine got to be more character than a plot device though. #Cozy #Fantasy

I wish I loved this book more, but it ended up being a soft pick for me. The concept was very intriguing, but it also felt a little draggy through the middle bits. I've been kind of sad lately, so I'm not sure if this book really was pretty melancholy, or if it just felt that way to me 😂 But look at that GORGEOUS cover! I honestly may keep it just because it's SO pretty.

A good installment in the October Daye series with a lot of unexpected revelations and the usual amount of faerie chaos.

A low pick. It was slow going but I warmed up to Miss Mole's character as the novel progressed. It's always a pleasure reading VMC editions with the beautiful covers, though this isn't the classic green one.

This one landed as a soft pick. It kept me glued to the pages while I was reading it, but I felt a little let down by the ending. This seems to be a common theme for me with this author.

This one is on its way to you @bookandbedandtea !! And @Jerdencon - I received Her Every Fear this week!! #TravelingThrills

Mimi discovers the art of magical baking while preparing for a baking competition at a local cafe and chaos breaks out within her family. This is a fun adaptation borrowing from A Midsummer Night‘s Dream. I enjoy books with kitchen magic, and Mimi is a charming character. This is middle grade, but it did feel like she was a little more clueless than I would have expected. #Magic #Baking #MiddleGrade #Adaptations
