Welcome to Litsy!

Um, so I only recently stumbled on Book Outlet (after hearing about it everywhere) and they‘re currently having a sale… so my finger slipped and I bought some books. 🫣

This nearish-future feminist graphic novel about a scientific society is a lot of fun.

Not the right book at the right time. I skimmed a lot.

Audiobook for January. Not sure what to think, but it was much more on the conspiracy than I wanted, but it was interesting learning about the three secretive nondisclosure global groups of power players and discussions of historical development and international policy. Some quasi-espionage investigative journalism stories included. It was both super detailed with lists of members and big picture, without really providing needed clarity.

06/150 I did like this more than Meddling Kids, but it still a low pick. There's a lot going on in this story, including a haunted house and a secret society playing a mysterious game. The supernatural elements of the story were pretty minimal for most of the story, even the ending leaves it pretty ambiguous as to what was real and was was just the MC's imagination. 3 ⭐⭐⭐💫

I'm so glad I read this again before the sequel. I still loved it the second time. This book sparked my love of reading again back in 2020 after a long hiatus. It will forever have a special place in my heart, along with just being a really good book. ❤️

Of course I chose a 500 page book for the first of the year. And it was a fantastic choice! Another grim, epic not so fairy tale full of magic and tragedy and connection. Alex was prickly and anxious but smarter than she realized. Darlington was, well we‘ll see what he was or is in the next book in the series!!! Mystical fantasy for the win. Book #1 in 2024

Just what the doctor ordered for a cold rainy weekend. Ambient music provided by toxic drunker via YouTube. The read called for dark academia. Iykyk

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

“Ninth House” is full of dark and gothic academia vibes. It was slow to start, but the plot and story itself gradually became more suspenseful with several plot twists. I enjoyed Alex‘s character arc, and I also enjoyed the murder mystery element that was included. I‘m not sure when I‘ll read the sequel, but I‘m intrigued to see what happens next.
