Totally Weird and Wonderful Words | Erin McKean

Another example of a word that doesn‘t look or sound like what you think it should mean. If someone said this to me and I didn‘t know the word, I might respond with “bless you” or “gesundheit” 😂😂 #weirdwords #weirdwordwednesday

Born.A.Reader I do that too!! Say bless you or something after a weird/long word 😂 4h

dabbe It would be fun to say something like “I fescued in the fescue!“ 🤣💚🤣 3h

CatLass007 Great word! I didn‘t know what it meant but I don‘t think it sounds like anything in particular. I usually am able to get the gist of a word from the context in which it is used, and if I‘m interested in learning more, I‘ll look it up. But gesundheit does seem like a great response to some words. 2h

CatLass007 Thank you so much for hosting this and #TBRTarot! 2h

CBee @dabbe oh yes. Constant reminder today since it‘s five years ago 😢 21h

vivastory Yup, definitely agree! One movie I did not include on best of, but.*really* should have was the recent excellent movie by K. Bigelow starring Idris Elba & Rachel Ferguson. Like other Bigelow movies, a very realistic portrait of international conflict & unfortunately won't get the praise deserved bc of end of year release date. Highly recommend. 20h

CBee @vivastory is it House of Dynamite? I have that on my watch list! 20h

vivastory Yes! Definitely worth the watch. Elba basically has a cameo, but Ferguson is fantastic. Feels very real 20h

The Followers | Rebecca Wait

pick

@TheKidUpstairs this is my 3rd Wait and it might be my favorite - which is saying a lot because all of her books are incredible. I loved the back and forth from past to present; loved the multiple POV style, and especially loved the impending sense of tragedy (strange, I know). You know something horrific is coming but her writing is so excellent that you aren‘t racing to the finish to find out. So, so good. #ALSpine @monalyisha

CBee @CSeydel I started 2026 #ALSpine with another Wait book, fancy that! 😁 2d

CSeydel Nice! 2d

BarbaraBB I love her books too. I have her newest waiting for me

CSeydel Oh and funnily enough I finally got ahold of The Elements by John Boyle, which you had on your list last year! Started it last night! 2d

CBee @BarbaraBB I haven‘t read A View On the Way Down, so I need to grab that one! But a new one? I had no idea and am stacking it right away! 1d

CBee @CSeydel oh! Please tag me in your review - I‘d love to hear what you think! 1d

TheKidUpstairs I'm so glad you loved it! I bought it immediately after reading Our Fathers because I loved that one so much I just wanted more. She's just so good. 1d

CBee @TheKidUpstairs about the same for me! I‘ve also read this one which was from #ALSpine2025 (see comments above) and it‘s also great:

I'm Sorry You Feel That Way

1d

CSeydel I did not realize the subject matter of The Elements was so grim when I started or I might not have dived in so impulsively 😬 But his writing is so good, it‘s incredible how you really feel like you‘re there in the scene. 18h

CBee @CSeydel oh goodness yes, it‘s very grim. That‘s kind of Boyne‘s thing, I think - but the writing 💚 I didn‘t read the whole thing, I read each book individually (and still need to read Air), but I wouldn‘t blame you if you needed a breather! 4h

Leniverse I didn't get around to making a list, but if I go to my "uncollected" folder on kindle and sort by most recent, I end up with The Magpie Lord by K.J. Charles, Thirty-nine Cufflinks by James Anderson, An Instance of the Fingerpost by Iain Pears, and Litsy Winter Camp book The Correspondent by Virginia Evans! Yes please, and I might actually read all 4 numbers for a change! 4d

Okay, so I‘d started this a couple of months ago and stopped listening. THEN it appeared on my #ALSpine list from @TheKidUpstairs and I thought, here‘s my sign to finish it! I‘m so glad I did. What a beautifully written, well researched, thought provoking, informative, emotional read this was. #AuldLangSpine @monalyisha don‘t dock any points cause I started early 😂😂

Tarot Card Killer | Greg Strandberg

Happy New Year, friends! I made this prompt specifically for anyone doing #ALSpine, and really for anyone who has a book on their radar because of another Litten‘s recommendation (I have tons!). TBH it‘s mostly selfish and I didn‘t randomly pick it - but I hope it will work for you guys as well 😁😅😂

CBee @AmyG omg yay!! You‘ll love it! 💚💚 👯 6d

CBee @TheKidUpstairs all honesty, I finished Story of a Heart and just need to listen to the epilogue. I‘d already started it a couple months ago so figured why not? And wow, so glad it was on your list because I loved it! 6d

CatLass007 Does the December 2024 #LiteraryCrew selection that I still haven‘t gotten around to count? My answer is a resounding YES. I‘ll be listening to

CBee @CatLass007 yes ma‘am!! Any book recommended by a Litten works! And it isn‘t limited to certain dates/years/etc 😁 6d

Trying to post some good ones that I didn‘t add to my #ALSpine list! Loved this one but of course bittersweet because Tony is no longer with us 💔 #12BooksOf2025 @TheEllieMo

CBee @TheEllieMo what does “Ellie of the Mo” mean? This inquiring mind is curious 😁 1w

BarbaraBB I don‘t know this book. Must check it out! 1w

TheEllieMo @CBee just a bit of silliness from my @ name, and an element of privacy. Ellie is my nickname, Mo was one of my cats. I started as EllieMo, got delusions of grandeur and added the The 🤣. I avoid putting my real name on most social media platforms so used the “Ellie of the Mo” thing when I joined Litsy. Of course, I subsequently found that Litsy is generally much, much friendlier than other social media platforms! 1w

Heart the Lover | Lily King

pick

I snatched this from the library after reading all of the praise from other Littens. And well, I loved it. I wished for more. Makes me regret giving my copy of W&L away (wasn‘t in the right headspace for it at the time, might have to revisit). I got Tomorrow x3 vibes a little - except swap video games for books 😂

CatMS I love Lily King but "Writers and Lovers" was not a favorite of mine either. But did love "Euphoria" 1d

CBee @CatMS I‘ll put that one on my radar again! Thank you! 1d

I loved this - #dysfunctionalfamilyfiction at its finest! @AmyG @Chelsea.Poole you would like this, I think! 💚

Chelsea.Poole Thank you!! I have been in need of a dysfunctional family to indulge in. Is it terribly sad? 1mo

CBee @LatrelWhite same! And agreed 👍🏻 1mo

CBee @Chelsea.Poole I realized that my comment above ⬆️ DOES make it sound terribly sad. But, it really isn‘t. It‘s the trope of “tragedy happens and each family member deals with it differently.” If that makes sense 😁 1mo

Auld Lang Syne: A Song and Its Culture | Morag Josephine Grant

This is going to be an adventure, Megan! I haven‘t heard of most of these and can‘t wait to delve into this list more. I love Rebecca Wait (I‘ve read two of her books), and I‘ve heard great things about Stone Yard, BUT I will very likely start with The Hounding and Raja the Gullible as those are both already on my TBR. Very excited! Thank you 💚💚 @TheKidUpstairs @monalyisha #ALSpine

CBee @TheKidUpstairs also, I started Story of a Heart on audio a while back but, well, big mood reader 😂 I‘ll try again! I love that we both loved the Okorafor and the McConaghey (I am a super fan). 💚💚 If you‘d like to email we can! Would love to get to know you better! 1mo

AmyG You would love Wild Dark Shore. 1mo

CBee @AmyG I‘ve read it 💚 And of course loved it. It was on my #ALSpine list for Megan 😂 1mo

TheKidUpstairs @CBee I LOVED Story of a Heart, but it's a very difficult read (there were many many tears), so it's definitely one you have to be in the right headspace for! I was surprised by the McConaghy, because I was one of the few who did not love Migrations, so I wasn't expecting to like it, but I could not put it down. I'm totally up for emailing, I'm megansbrady@gmail.com 😁 1mo

TheKidUpstairs And The Hounding and Raja the Gullible are GREAT places to start. Very different styles, both completely engrossing, entertaining and thought provoking in their own ways! 1mo

CBee @TheKidUpstairs thank you for the heads up! Maybe I‘ll dip in and out of it. 1mo

CBee @TheKidUpstairs they both sound amazing! I‘m excited! 1mo

TheKidUpstairs Since you mentioned that you do audio, I should point out that both A Thousand Threads and Liliana's Invincible Summer are fantastic on audio! Especially Threads, Cherry's narration is wonderful. 1mo

vivastory This is a great list 📚📚 1mo

CBee @TheKidUpstairs I‘d forgotten Neneh Cherry wrote a memoir! Definitely going to check that one out. 1mo

squirrelbrain I just posted on @thekidupstairs post that the list could have been mine, but so could this one- we have such similar taste! 1mo

CBee @squirrelbrain I have a feeling I‘ll enjoy so many of these! 1mo

The Mad Wife: A Novel | Meagan Church

Doing a #weirdwords thing and a book review all in one! Beautifully written book based on TOO MANY instances of women having very normal FEELINGS of sadness, being overwhelmed, under-appreciated, you name it. You‘re not sad, you‘re hysterical! Let‘s do a little ECT or maybe a lobotomy and see if that helps! Let‘s not forget how many women were misdiagnosed (unnecessary suffering)! The epilogue is 🔥 #weirdwordwednesday

Half audio, half print - normally I have trouble focusing on NF in print, but since I started my boycott of Spotify right in the middle of this, you do what you have to do 🤷‍♀️ I‘ve since gotten more familiar with Karie which enhanced the reading experience.

What the heck happened between book 2 and book 3? I legit almost bailed on this. I don‘t want blissful family life, Freida! I want murder and mayhem, twists and turns! Only the last 1/4 or so redeemed it, but just barely. Big meh. #readyourkindle

Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick Since we're talking about it, yes! Add me to the list. I am focused on finishing #192025 at the moment, so my books are determined for November & December, but I should be able to start in the new year! (Even if i have a few more to finish) 2mo

CBee @Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick will do 💚 2mo

Apologies for my recent brief absence, friends. The world, my mind, my heart - it‘s all so much (too much) and is getting the best of me lately.

ChaoticMissAdventures @AmyG same that is the first thought that pops into my head when someone says wombat! 3mo

julesG @ChaoticMissAdventures pops or poops? 🤣🤣🤣 3mo

lil1inblue I know not one, but TWO people whose parents almost named them Wombat. One was female, and would have been Wombat had she been a boy, and the other was a boy whose Mom overruled his Dad and went with Cory instead of Wombat. This cartoon adds a whole new level of hilarity to that. 3mo

ChaoticMissAdventures @julesG the poop pops into my head 🤣😂🤣 3mo

ChaoticMissAdventures @lil1inblue this is absolutely WILD. I wonder how many other animals people were almost named after. "Hi dad meet my boyfriend Giraffe!" ? 3mo

Ruthiella That link is delightful. 😂😂😂Thank you! 3mo

CBee @lil1inblue you‘ve got to be kidding me 😂😂😂 I am very happy for those kids who are NOT named wombat 😂 3mo

CBee @ChaoticMissAdventures and here‘s my girlfriend, Hippo 😂 3mo

CBee @Ruthiella I‘ve shared it with so many people! I never get tired of it 😂 3mo

lil1inblue @CBee They did bond over their mutual near-misses, and they became good friends. But both were quite glad they were not actually named Wombat. 🤣🤣🤣 3mo

CarolynM I‘m very glad the people you know didn‘t get named Wombat. Calling someone that in Australia has a rude meaning that I am sure their parents would not have intended😆 3mo

CBee @lil1inblue thank goodness. Can you imagine? School would‘ve been a nightmare! 3mo

CBee @CarolynM oooo. I‘m intrigued about this rude meaning 🫣😂 3mo

CBee @Cuilin oh goodness - Caillou 😂 I must admit I found that series so annoying 🫣😂 3mo

CBee @Amiable yesss, I love mellifluous too! 3mo

dabbe When you say this one out loud, it does NOT sound beautiful; it's sounds like someone's willed with something putrid! 😂 Fab word. 😍 3mo

Cuilin @CBee oh it‘s shockingly bad. He was so whiny. 3mo

willaful @Cuilin I learned it from Woody Harrelson singing on SNL. “Pretty lady, foxy lady, attractive lady, pulchritudinous lady...“ 3mo

Funky photo but it was still semi dark when I finished this morning 🤪 Overall, I liked this! Agree with some reviewers who mentioned how it dragged a bit - mainly the middle - but the premise was super unique and the adventures/misadventures happening kept me turning the pages. Not sure about the ending - I had other ideas but, I didn‘t write the book so 🤷‍♀️😂

Totally Weird and Wonderful Words | Erin McKean

I didn‘t really realize it until today, but grimace is sort of a weird word to say. Try saying it a few times and see if you agree 😁 And who could forget lovable Grimace (but why did they give him that name?) of McDonald‘s fame! #weirdwordwednesday #weirdwords

CBee @Megabooks @Daisey @TheBookHippie @Amiable @vivastory @Catlass007 @mandarchy @dabbe @IndoorDame @peanutnine @psalva @sace @slategreyskies @Lil1inblue @Deblovestoread @BookmarkTavern @Cuilin @Kerrbearlib @jen_the_scribe @CindyMyLifeIsLit 3mo

dabbe Fab word. And your face actually contorts into one the more times you say it! 💜 3mo

Amiable I remember looking it up once because I was wondering what Grimace was supposed to be —it said he was a taste bud?? Am I remembering that correctly? Because that‘s a super-weird cartoon character. 😄 3mo

lil1inblue Grimace is such an underutilized word. But so descriptive! 3mo

BookmarkTavern I love this word so much! 3mo

ncsufoxes When I was little my parents took me to McDonald‘s somewhere in NJ & they had a person in a Grimace costume. Apparently I was terrified. I vaguely remember it (I was probably 3 or 4). I remember there was a Hamburgler & Ronald. My kids thinks it‘s funny when my mom tells them I was scared of Grimace. 3mo

CBee @dabbe 😂😂😂 3mo

CBee @Amiable that‘s news to me and if true, that‘s just…..weird 😂 3mo

CBee @Amiable so apparently he was originally “Evil Grimace” and stole milkshakes. He‘s been described as a taste bud, the embodiment of a milkshake (🤷‍♀️), and just a lovable blob. I had no idea about any of this 😂 3mo

CBee @ncsufoxes what a story! I mean, I can get why he might be scary though 😂 Especially if confronted with him in real life. 3mo

TheBookHippie Why is a taste bud purple ? 3mo

CBee @TheBookHippie the ultimate question 😂😂🤪🤪 3mo

Black Butterflies | Priscilla Morris

This was so very good. What keeps sticking in my brain is how interconnected the people of Sarajevo were before the war - different groups/cultures/religions living side by side in peace. I don‘t think I‘ll ever understand why acceptance and interconnection are so hard, or how violence and war are so easy. #TBRtarot (debut author/debut book)
