Welcome to Litsy!

Started a new audio book today about my favourite story of Greek mythology Psyche and Eros. #audiobooks #mythology

All welcome !

I‘ll have the schedule up soon!

Had no idea this was such a short book, so I finished it in about a day. I enjoyed it, for the most part, but found the ending a bit anticlimactic and lacking. I finished and said, "That's it? Really?" Still an enjoyable book overall, though.

I love love loved this book! Second book by this author and I really enjoy her style of Jane Austen‘s retellings. I will read her next book when it is available- Also i really felt like i was out on Suffolk County Long island. Soooo good.

I found this haunting. There is something about the authors use of language that mimics the ‘for the ages‘ style of the original works whilst bringing fresh perspectives and an almost practical infuse telling. In this one our narrator is slave to Cassandra sailing home with Agamemnon who is mostly secondary to the story of his waiting wife and family. The horror of their home, ghosts of slaughtered and canabilised children adds tension .& horror.

A fantasy folklore sapphic love story. Set in 1832 on the south shore of NS. About a married selkie and the midwife who delivers her baby. “She held her love in an open hand.” It‘s beautiful. Another great one from @DebinHawaii and #AuldLangSpine @monalyisha
I‘m a little slow with my #ShelfSweeper #4Elizabeth I had a busy week, but I‘m hoping to have a book filled weekend. @Andrew65 @Tove_Reads

Starting this chunkster! Excited to read this since I loooved The Magicians series. I‘m due with my first baby in less than 5 weeks so this feels like my last chance to read a big physical book for a while 😅 I‘m off work today and it‘s finally nice enough to sit outside, so am very happy.

Got Color Wheel (Red) and Small Book (under 300 pages)

#unpopularopinion Oh how I wish the inside of the book was anywhere near as beautiful as the exterior. It has sprayed edges and exquisite end papers. The text? It did not work for me at all. The writing feels choppy and juvenile and I already dislike the MC. 😭
