It‘s our second zombie match and again the zombie is the winner! A close call again and test Idlewild beats Wellness. Who would have guessed? I know I didn‘t!
Idlewild is the book that has received the most zombie votes. Will it be enough to take away the 🦃 against Sinners?
Tomorrow we‘ll post the final match of our #LitsyToB24 and then you can all vote for your winner! One more day to go!

Bookwormjillk Zombie vs zombie wow! Idlewild was the first book I read off the list and I don‘t know if that‘s why it‘s so memorable to me. 1mo

Megabooks We‘re not voting today? I‘m having tire problems. Stuck near home. 😭😭 1mo
BarbaraBB @Megabooks Oh no. Near home still. Any help coming? I can‘t believe your bad luck. My heart goes out to you! Tomorrow is the voting, below the final post. There won‘t be another form, because tomorrow is the end of the tournament! I hope that‘s okay!! X 1mo
Kitta Interesting! I wasn‘t a huge fan of Idlewild, it was good but not great for me. I gave it a so-so. Maybe I‘m the only one who disagreed here! 😂 1mo
BarbaraBB @Kitta I am sure you‘re not, many people rooted for Wellness! 1mo
kwmg40 Interesting to see the two zombies in the final! Looking forward to seeing how it plays out. 1mo
Ruthiella I really loved Idewild and voted for it as a zombie, so am totally glad to see it come back to life! 🧟‍♀️ 1mo
BkClubCare I will read Idlewild if it wins! 1mo
BarbaraBB @Ruthiella Me too and now I hope it‘ll win! 1mo
BarbaraBB @BkClubCare That‘s great and of course you can‘t go wrong with it if your Littens made it the winner 😀 1mo
BarbaraBB @kwmg40 Who would have thought, a zombie finals! I don‘t think that has ever happened before! 🧟 🧟‍♀️ 1mo
sarahbarnes Wow! I thought Wellness might take it all! I really liked Idlewild though. Loving the drama of this tournament! 1mo
fredthemoose Ooooh… the plot thickens! 1mo
Hooked_on_books Woohoo!!!!! 🥳 Idlewild was one of my best reads of 2023 and Wellness was just ok for me, so I‘m thrilled! I was sure it would go the other way. And now an all zombie final! Cool! 1mo
BarbaraBB @sarahbarnes @fredthemoose @Hooked_on_books Yes, the drama! Tomorrow the grande finale 😀 1mo
AmyG I would have thought Wellness would have won. Wow. (edited) 1mo

Finished up this book while watching March Madness. I enjoyed it a lot! A memoir about adopting a blind kitten and how the cat‘s spirit impacted her life/way of thinking. Definitely makes me appreciate my kitty all the more, especially given my Sammy is turning 16 in a couple months. Was a nice reminder to love him even in those moments of frustration

⭐️⭐️⭐️

Interesting debut by a trans author!

Centred on an intense friendship in a New York City high school that begins on 9/11, this novel kinda slightly missed the mark for me.

I was interested in the fate of the characters but the chapters using AIM chat and livejournal blog posts were off putting to me.

Something about Nell and Fays blog really made me uncomfortable? I don‘t know how to articulate it.

Kitta Also a late read for #litsyToB #LitsyToB24 2mo
Ruthiella I think the journals were meant to be awkward and off putting. Teenagers are figuring things out. I can‘t read my diaries from my younger years. I cringe. 😬 (edited) 2mo
squirrelbrain Great review, although I loved this one! 2mo

Kitta @Ruthiella that makes sense then, it was definitely awkward reading them! I stopped keeping a diary after my sister started writing responses to what I wrote in mine! I never thought anyone would read it never mind write their thoughts back! 😱 2mo
Kitta @squirrelbrain I don‘t usually read anything about teenagers because I‘m just not interested but I wanted to make an exception for this one! I think the second half was better than the first and most people seemed to enjoy it! I think I‘m the odd one out. It wasn‘t bad, just not for me. 2mo

Kenyazero Sounds like an interesting concept, at the very least! Always disappointing when a book misses the mark. 2mo
Kitta @Kenyazero a lot of others really loved it! But at least I can check off disappointing read on my bingo card haha 2mo

The face group Psychological Thriller had a post about Charlie Donlea. They talked about what a great writer he is, so I decided to read 'Twenty Years Later' by him. Glad I read it bc it was good.

A murder of an author takes place and 20 yrs later the lead detective is asked to consult for a TV show looking at the case. There's more to the case and the host of the TV show then you will expect. I recommend this gripping thriller.

This was so much more than I expected it to be. It was a really immersive, absorbing look at the intertwining lives of a group of theater kids at a Manhattan Quaker high school in 2001-2002. Strong themes of queerness in many forms, sex, art, love, friendship, obsession, control, and more. I recommend it!

BarbaraBB Totally agree! 2mo
