Welcome to Litsy!

Up next- This book has mixed reviews but the words “ cozy” and “ cats” in the reviews sold me, lol

1/ always fun putting up the decorations

2/ Tale of Genji, not a snowflake in sight but I'm really looking forward to it as I've been on the waiting list on Libby for, something like over a year, and it just delivered it, a wonderful surprise

3 Stars • The Sailor Who Fell from Grace with the Sea is about Noboru Kuroda, a 13-year-old boy in a nihilistic gang, and his mother Fusako, who starts an affair with Ryuji Tsukazaki, a sailor. Initially, Noboru idolizes Ryuji for his adventurous life at sea. Ryuji's decision to settle down and marry Fusako is seen by Noboru and his friends as a betrayal of the sea's romantic ideal. The gang plots against Ryuji, leading to his murder by boys.

“'Here, come here,' I call,
but the fireflies
blithely go their way.“

A book that can introduce or familiarize children with other forms of poetry!

A collection of Haiku poems paired with illustrations.

This short novella captures the feeling of a first crush, and the mix of emotions are so inherent those months when we leave childhood behind and head towards adulthood

Quick read. Cute story about a mystical pop up coffee shop run by planetary cats.

Went thrifting 🤍📚

I‘ve not been paying as much attention to Litsy lately as I ought, so I‘m diving into #DaysDevotedTo to be pulled back in.

This one has been on my TBR for far too long, I must read it soon!
