Welcome to Litsy!

Bk5 of May, Bk1 of my #NutsInMay #readathon & Bk4 of #BookSpinBonanza is done! I really enjoyed this NF book, written by a botanist, he‘s chosen one tree from each part of the world & gives a description of the tree, it‘s history and it‘s uses. He took what could‘ve been a boring subject & made it highly readable. Definitely recommend. #NonFiction2020 #FromACountryOtherThanYourOwn #MayBookBingo #NewToYouGenre #PageAThon #240pages #MedievalAThon 👇

I've recently learned about Afrofuturism through my book club. I've read Kindred and Black Panther and I have The Fifth Season is on my tbr pile.

I have a new way of tracking everything and this will help me find new genres to read, track what I am reading better, and see my reading trends. I‘m really excited about it especially when i get used to it. Am I the only person who tracks reading in a variety of ways? #auldlangreads #newtoyougenre #trello #readingorganization #tracking

A genre that I had never heard of until last year is Cli-Fi, which is fiction related to climate change. I‘m interested in reading something from this genre, particularly as it had been 70 degrees several times this winter, which is unusual to say the least. The tagged book sounds interesting. #NewtoYouGenre #AuldLangReads

I‘d never heard of silkpunk until the #booked2020 prompts were revealed! This one was listed on GR as essential silkpunk. #newtoyougenre #auldlangreads

I‘ve never read a graphic novel, but this one had such a lot of #LitsyLove last year that maybe I should give it a try.

Here are examples of 2 genres new to me: swashbuckler and mythopoeia. I did read read Silmarillion long ago, but never a swashbuckler.

Day 14: #newtoyougenre #silkpunk #auldlangreads I had never heard of Silkpunk until I saw it on Litsy. If I were to explore it, Jade City looks like a good one to start with. Any other recommendations?

Day 14 - #NewToYouGenre #AuldLangReads

Many words to describe this genre: mythical fantasy, timeless romantic love story, magical, story book fiction and reality blend, folkloric fable, lots of symbolism.

#AuldLangReads Day 14: Cookbooks are mainly #NewToYouGenre for me as I generally do not read them, even those published by National Geographic and Bargain Priced at that at Barnes and Noble, Brentwood, CA branch. :)
