I'm starting a new reading challenge this summer that I've affectionately dubbed Summer of Smut! 🤭 I'm planning to read one spicy book every week from now until the end of August! This list is very tentative - I might be making some changes to it, but so far these are the ones I'm planning to get through this summer! 📚💕 #summerofsmut
HAPPY PRIDE MONTH LITSY FAMILY!!! ❤️🧡💛💚🩵💜🩷
2025 has been a rough year so far for the queer community, so we have to make sure this year's Pride Month is filled with joy, resistance, and of course - great books! ☺️💕 Here are the queer books that I'm starting the month off with!
Does anyone else have any fun books lined up for Pride Month?
TODAY IS THE BEST DAY EVER! A new bookstore opened a couple towns over for me, so of course I had to go check it out! The coolest part is that it's a genre specific bookstore - they only sell romance books! 💕📚 Plus shirts, tote bags, and other bookish goodies! It was AWESOME! 📖🩷
It's called Mon Coeur Books and is in Canton, Michigan!
YASSSSSSS HAPPY JUNE, Y'ALL! Well....okay, maybe not quite yet - but the Book of the Month choices are up for June, so it totally counts! 🥳🎉🎉🎉 What is everybody getting this month!? #botm
Happy Stephen King Release Day! 🥳🎉🎉🎉
I'm dropping everything to start reading this! Including taking a PTO day off work tomorrow so I can spend the day reading! 😂💕📚
pickHung out at the Farmers market on Saturday afternoon - had some boba tea, listened to live music, and finished this book! It was great! Kind of different from what I was expecting, but definitely in a good way! 💕📚
Happy Friday, Litsy family! 🌿📚💕
I hope everyone is gearing up for a fun-filled bookish weekend! 😄 I'm very very grateful to have the next few days off, and plan to spend a eating lots of snacks and eating lots of books! Weekend goals! 😂
YASSSSSSS! My delightfully devious Goldsboro edition of Abercrombie's new book arrived today! 😍 #goldsboro
Okay, I started this book because I've heard so many good things about it - but I was really not expecting to love it as much as I did! It is one of the funniest and most enjoyable books I have ever read! 😂 I'm immediately starting the second one because I can't wait to see what crazy shenanigans Carl and Princess Donut get up to next! 💕📚
"The world has spent thousands of years practicing how to puncture the lungs of children who are different."
Ooof. I felt this in my soul. ??
A very happy 100th birthday to my number one favorite book of all time: Mrs. Dalloway by Virginia Woolf! 🩷🩷🩷
On March 14th 1925, Woolf published one of the greatest pieces of literature! 🥳🎉 This book has influenced my life in so many ways, and I will forever love it and Virginia Woolf! 📖
Reading a spooky book about a forest...while in a forest! 😱🌿📖 Happy Friday, Litsy family! 💕
Today starts the great Wheel of Time re-read! Dave, Rae, and I are super excited to read this series together! 🥰💕 @DaveGreen7777 @RaeLovesToRead
pickI can't believe it took me so long to read this! It was absolutely wonderful! Classic Sanderson - complex characters, a totally unique magic system, lots of action and twists, and a good smattering of humor! 💕📚
"One kiss from the man had me marathoning scenes like I was Brandon Sanderson with a secret project."
Okay, I laughed out loud SO HARD when I read this! ?
TODAY IS MY BIRTHDAY!!! 🥳🎉🎉🎉 I had such a great day today! I spent a lot of time in Barnes & Noble! 🤭💕 And then hubby and I went to Olive garden and I ate approximately 100 breadsticks! 🤣😂 Life is good!
Spending a lazy afternoon with a tall glass of limeade and Brandon Sanderson! 💕📚 AHHHHHH, pure bliss!
YESSSSS! The latest book in Huang's Kings of Sin series came out today and I couldn't be happier! 💚💚💚
Spent all afternoon reading Sanderson in the park! This is the first time I've read this older work of his, and I'm absolutely loving it! 🌿💕📚 I'm also really happy to see that everything is starting to turn green and vibrant again! Hooray for Spring!
HAPPY INDEPENDENT BOOKSTORE DAY! 🥳🎉🎉🎉 I've been so excited about this day for weeks now! I got up extra early and went to my two favorite local indie bookstores - Schuler Books and Road Less Traveled Books! It was a blast! They had a ton of free ARCs they were handing out, lots of other goodies, and of course I came home with a huge stack of new books! 🤭📚💕 What a great day! #indiebookstore #independentbookstoreday
I am so so so happy! 💕 Today is the start of my 10-day vacation! Next week is my birthday! 🤭 I'm going to spend the whole thing reading, eating snacks, visiting bookstores, and running around the park! 🌿📚 I decided to kick off the festivities by picking up lunch (chicken shawarma! 🤤) and eating at the park! It's a beautiful day!
Okay, I really really loved this! I feel like it definitely needs more hype because it was such a fantastic urban fantasy! 💕📚 #catsoflitsy #jupiterjazz
Okay, after reading the first book in this series, I can see why it's getting so much hype! I really loved it a lot!
Sinking into a new Olivie Blake book is always so delightful! I'm only about 80 pages in and I'm already hooked! 😍
Reading Robin Wall Kimmerer's new book outside in the woods really is a perfect way to spend a Friday afternoon! 🌿☀️
This book came at me as sort of a surprise. A co-worker was reading it and mentioned that she thought I might like it. I had never heard of it before, but as soon as I started reading it I was hooked! Definitely helped cure some religious trauma, which I was not expecting! This book is phenomenal! If you have ever felt like an outsider, and especially if you have ever been a queer kid growing up in a super religious family - this book is for you!
The Book of the Month choices dropped this morning! 🥳🎉🎉🎉 This is what I chose, and one of them was free because April is my birthday month! What did everyone else pick? 💕📚 #botm
"Journey before destination..."
I finally finished this, and I am just a roller coaster of emotions! Truly devastating and yet filled with joy and hope. This series has always meant a lot to me, not just because of how much I love Sanderson, but also because each book of The Stormlight Archive I have read with my bestie, @DaveGreen7777 !
So in the last couple of weeks I've discovered this manga and I absolutely fell in love with it! It's called The Summer Hikaru Died and while it's technically classified as horror it's so much more than that! And also, the artwork is absolutely gorgeous! 🥰
Oops! I was determined to leave the bookstore with only one new purchase... well, you can see how that turned out! 🤭📚
I wandered into my local bookstore after work yesterday, and found this really cool sign hanging up! 🥰📚
My March Goldsboro book arrived! I've actually been really wanting to read this book anyway, so I'm excited to start it! And look at those gorgeous page edges! 😍 #goldsboro #goldsborobooks
I've reached page 1100! 🎉🎉🎉 Only 250 pages to go! 📚 This book is destroying me in the best way possible!
It's here! 🎉🎉🎉 Pretty much dropping everything to start reading this!
So I did a thing and ended up ordering this box set! I remember reading the first few books when they first came out and loved them! Now that a new book in the series is coming out next month I decided that it might be a fun time to revisit the series! 💕📚
I was at Subway the other day and saw this picture of a book made out of cheese hanging up on the wall and got WAY too much amusement out of it!😂📖🧀 A book made out of cheese?! What's not to love?! 🤤
Sunshine, FINALLY! ☀️ Also, I think this is definitely my new favorite Kingfisher book! It's amazing! 📚
The best part about having a weekend off from work is getting to spend it reading! 💕📚 The kitties have also been very grateful for all the cuddles this weekend! Happy Sunday, littens! #catsoflitsy #jupiterjazz
Ava Reid's new YA dystopian book just came out this week too! I love everything she's written so far, so I'm really excited to start this! Also, look at those page edges! 😍📚
I was so excited to see the Book of the Month choices today! 🥳🎉🎉🎉 I absolutely could not resist the pretty page edges of The God of the Woods! Do I already own a copy of it? Yes! 😂 But that's okay, because the new one will have pretty pink pages! 🤭💕 What did everyone else end up ordering? #botm
I decided I wanted to reread books one and two in the series since the third one comes out next week! 📚💕 I'm super excited! Sometimes when you revisit a series you find it loses some of the magic, but in the case of this book every time I read it I am more and more amazed and entranced by it! I honestly think this is one of the best YA series I have ever read! 🤩
