Welcome to Litsy!

June #storygraph book report, right on track for 52 books this year!

#camplitsy25 pick Wild Dark Shore and a Murderbot novel take first place!

I think that‘s the last of the Murderbot novels. I hope Martha Wells‘ health improves and that she can possibly write more, I‘m obsessed with the series.

#2025Book24

In the news business, being first with clearly written copy is better than being garbled and last.

Could someone please ‘splain
how it‘s Monday already?
How about Mond-no.

My reading is getting quite interesting at this point of the year- novels for school, memoir for book club, and sci-fi & fantasy for relaxation! Enjoyed the tagged new release as a fan of the Normal Gossip podcast for my commute to work.

OK stories about NYC people. Barkeepers, old people, runaways, and others. Mostly right after 9-11. Best for native New Yorkers probably.

In one way this book is exactly what it says it‘s about but in another way I feel it‘s lacking &too surface level. I feel the latter has more to do w/me than the book. I didn‘t know of McKinney or her podcast previously; I was drawn to this book b/c I‘m someone who simultaneously loves &hates gossip &was hoping for some insight into our obsession w/it at a more psychological &social science level. This largely discusses celebrities &reality tv.

Starting a book found at a thrift store. Looks interesting to me about New Yotk City life.

★★★★☆

Raised lots of interesting questions. Neufeld's art was good and sometimes unexpectedly clever and funny.

Didn't expect to meet my favourite poet (Yeats) in this book.
