Loved the history aspect and have already started down a rabbit hole 🤓 It can‘t match Her Majesty‘s Royal Coven series but I really liked it!

Happy October, friends! Here is the #TBRtarot prompt for this month 🎃🍁 Enjoy! *edited to add: it can be a debut author or authors debut work!*

OriginalCyn620 I recently got this one on Audible, and it certainly sounds interesting, so I‘ll make it my pick! 3d

Ruthiella Ooh! That‘s gonna be tough! 🤔😅 3d
AmyG I won‘t make it this month. 😞 3d
CatLass007 Does it have to be a debut author? Or can it be an author‘s debut work? 3d
Read4life That‘s what I was going to ask, @CatLass007 3d
CatLass007 @Read4life Every author was a debut author at one time! 3d
CBee @CatLass007 either is fine! 😊 @Read4life (edited) 3d
CBee @AmyG no worries 💚 3d
CBee @OriginalCyn620 the title alone is interesting 🧐 3d
CatLass007 Awesome! 3d
Meshell1313 Ooh that‘s such a good one! I have a few in mind! 2d
CatLass007 This is free on Audible until 10/07 and it is her debut work. 2d
CBee @CatLass007 sounds good! And perfect for October 😊 2d
CatLass007 We‘ve got to have witches in October. You should know that Griffin writes good witches. 2d
CBee @CatLass007 I agree! I had lots of witches the past few months reading Her Majesty‘s Royal Coven (series of three books). Now I‘m reading a stand alone by the same author 2d
CatLass007 Sounds like fun! 2d

CBee @ChaptersofChaos hi! Welcome to Litsy! This is an easy challenge - I‘d direct you to my original post about it but it would take me forever to find 😂 Basically, you make a list of 20 ebooks (whichever format you use) for a given month. I draw four numbers on the 3rd of each month and you try to read those - but any ebook counts! Hope that helps, would love for you to join 💚 5d

Solipsism, solipsist, solipsistic. Say those words ten times fast 😂😂 Other tidbits: solipsism is also a term for a specific philosophy, a symptom of certain mental illnesses, and apparently can become a syndrome after periods of extreme isolation. And yes, this is Narcissus. The two are different but I thought it was close enough 😁 #weirdwords #weirdwordwednesday

Woman on the Verge | Kim Hooper

Pickpick

This blew my mind. There were so many moments of true understanding, observations and feelings that could have been mine. I also wasn‘t expecting some major twists (not in a thriller sort of way, but a bit mind bending and heartbreaking nonetheless), but they worked seamlessly. I‘m not a woman on the verge (yet), but I understand how one gets there 😮‍💨😬 I highly, highly recommend this.

CBee @BarbaraBB @Megabooks I haven‘t read all of Hooper‘s books yet, but THIS one (her newest) rocked my world. Not sure if that‘s a good or bad thing just yet 😂 Thought you‘d want to see my review! 3w

Every wondered about the origin behind the word, Wednesday? And why isn‘t it pronounced Wed-nes-day, so weird. Anyway, here you go! I always thought the days of the week were all named for Roman gods - nope! #weirdwordwednesday #weirdwords
Also, an article: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/jan/02/why-wednesday-the-days-of-the-week...

AnnCrystal @CBee ☺️👌🏼 mythology is incredibly fun.

The name connection for Thursday is my favorite.

Funny thing, is that I've learned a boatload of legends from around the world and realized a few years ago that (in comparison) I know so little about the legends from my own ancestral world 😂🤔🥺 I'm currently on a journey to correct this about myself ☺️💫📚💝.

I loved this so much. And FELT it so deeply. I, too, lost my mother early in the pandemic. Also, I ask myself often (and have for years), how did I get here? How did so much time pass and I‘m still in the same space? A lot to ponder. #camplitsy25

lil1inblue This is perfection! Thank you so much for sharing it! 💙 💙 💙 I feel it in my bones. Let's get loud, folks! 🙌 2mo
Amiable 💙🩵💙 This is a way better way to express your thoughts than screaming obscenities. Which is what I usually do. 😬 2mo
AmyG Beautifully written. 😥 2mo
CBee @Amiable I do that too, trust me. But sometimes, I write it down, and that helps. I don‘t do it often enough! 2mo
CBee @lil1inblue thank you! And yes!! 🙌🏻 2mo
CBee @TheBookHippie ♥️♥️♥️ 2mo
Deblovestoread Beautiful words and so on point. In their silence they have traded their humanity for fools gold and this captures it perfectly. 2mo
Butterfinger So beautiful and so true. I hate how true it is. 2mo
CBee @Chrissyreadit @JenlovesJT47 @Jari-chan @AmyG thank you ♥️♥️ 2mo
CBee @Deblovestoread thank you ♥️ 2mo
CBee @Butterfinger I hate it too 😔 2mo
kspenmoll Beautiful poem- always relevant. Especially right now. Thanks for sharing your heart. ♥️ 2mo
dabbe One of the best uses of repetition for thematic effect that I've ever read. And so on point. Thanks for sharing your heart and voicing what so many of us feel so eloquently. 🩵💙🩵 2mo
Suet624 Thank you!! 2mo
CBee @kspenmoll thank you, that means so much ♥️ 2mo
CBee @dabbe 🥹 that is HIGH praise coming from you, my friend. Thank you ♥️ 2mo
AnnCrystal This is beautiful @CBee! I didn't receive a notification...this is incredibly powerful 🐝👏🏼🥲✊🏼🐝💝💝💝. 2mo
CBee @AnnCrystal thank you! Litsy has been glitchy lately because I definitely tagged you ♥️ 2mo
thebacklistbook Wow that was powerful. 2mo
AnnCrystal @CBee you did, I saw my name tagged. I'm just so glad I didn't miss your beautiful work of poetry 👏🏼🦅💝💝💝. 2mo
TheLudicReader I think the schmucks in power are counting on silence. Hope you don‘t give it to them. Thanks for sharing this thoughtful and powerful and truthful poem. (edited) 2mo
CBee @AnnCrystal thank you, Ann. You‘re so kind! 2mo
CBee @TheLudicReader yes, they want people to be silent but luckily, that isn‘t happening. It‘s a total shitshow right now - one horrid thing after another 😔 2mo
CBee @thebacklistbook thank you 🙏🏻 2mo
dabbe @CBee 🩵💙🩵 2mo
Reggie So I had a crush on this guy a couple of years ago and we hooked up. I just couldn‘t get him off my mind. I had this crazy yearning and I wrote him a haiku and sent it to him. And as soon as I wrote it it‘s like my whole body was relieved. It didn‘t work out between us but I‘ll never forget writing that haiku. 2mo
CBee @Reggie I definitely felt better after I wrote it! Thanks for sharing that ♥️ 2mo
JenlovesJT47 @Reggie I did something similar years ago, not with a haiku but I wrote this long note saying how I felt. Because I had been in a similar situation prior and never told the guy how I felt and I swore I‘d never do it again. And you‘re right, it is a relief. At least you don‘t have a million what ifs. ♥️♥️♥️ 2mo

Sigh. I try to let it go but I swear I‘m wiping these counters multiple times a day. Drives me nuts! Anyone else? 😂🤪😅 #haikuhive #ahaikuaday

CBee @Leftcoastzen mine aren‘t white - I almost wish they were so that I could see the crud! They‘re this sort of sandy texture color thing. I can‘t see anything but I can feel it 😂😂 3mo
CBee @ChaoticMissAdventures evil sorcery. Must be 😂🤪 3mo
Jari-chan And I thought I was the only one 😆 3mo
dabbe The constant pain of #wipewipewipe!!! And throw in some dog hair all over the place, too! Their hair goes EVERYWHERE!!! 😤😂 3mo
JenlovesJT47 Me!! 🙋🏻‍♀️🙋🏻‍♀️🙋🏻‍♀️ hair everywhere, crumbs everywhere, we need a union. ♥️♥️♥️ 3mo
CBee @Jari-chan definitely not! The struggle is real! 3mo
CBee @JenlovesJT47 @dabbe yes! What shall we call the union? You should come up with the name, Jen - you‘re so good with words! 3mo
JenlovesJT47 😅 thanks for the vote of confidence, I‘ll see what I can come up with! 🤗♥️ 3mo
CBee @JenlovesJT47 it‘ll be great! ♥️ 3mo

1. We do not care that our face gets especially rosy at night. It‘s nature‘s makeup 😂
2. We do not care that we do not care about shaving. Our back hurts and we don‘t feel like doing it.
3. We do not care that there seem to be more mean people in the world now than kind. We do not care that empathy seems to be a bad word. We‘ll keep being kind. #wdncw @dabbe

CatLass007 1. ? 2. I totally agree I totally agree! 3. I do care, but I will continue to be kind and try not to be sad. 3mo
dabbe #1: Santa approves! 🎅🏻
#2: Who said we had to be hairless? #itsamyth #youdoyou
#3: Kindess is everything. You rock my world. 🩵💙🩵

AmyG I just had this discussion (#3) yesterday. Sad but true. 3mo

AnnCrystal 👸👏🏼🥳👌🏼💝... empathy 🙏🏼... kindness can bewilder evil. 3mo
LiseWorks I agree. People have no patience anymore. They get upset or offended over the smallest thing. Sometimes, I just don't want to be around people. My books are more friendly. 3mo
CBee @CatLass007 it‘s difficult to say that I don‘t care about #3, because I really do care? I guess what I mean by that is, I can‘t control the mean people, but I can control myself (mostly 😂). I won‘t allow myself to be anything but kind, because I don‘t know how to be anything else. 3mo
CBee @dabbe hahahaha luckily I‘m not quite as rosy as Santa. Get me out in the heat though and all bets are off 😂😂♥️♥️ You rock my world too!! 😊😊 3mo
CBee @LiseWorks I 100% agree!!! 3mo
Sace I‘m with you on 3. But I‘m gonna keep on being kind. 3mo
CBee @Sace we‘ll kill em with kindness ♥️♥️ 3mo
Eggbeater Rosy cheeks ✅️ werewolf legs ✅️ trying to contribute some good in the world ✅️ I got your back! 3mo
lil1inblue #hardsame on all three! Kindness is resistance, too! Especially these days. 💓 3mo
CBee @Eggbeater right back at ya ♥️♥️♥️ 3mo
CBee @lil1inblue you‘re right! Thank you for reminding me of that ♥️ 3mo
CatLass007 @CBee a wonderful response! @lil1inblue kindness is most definitely resistance! 3mo

I read about the Basque arborglyphs in #atreeaday and then, about the Pando aspen in Maggie, etc… (finished last night). Simply put: trees are amazing. #weirdwords #weirdwordwednesday

TheBookHippie How cool. 3mo
Deblovestoread Love this! Aspens are my favorite, their leaves make the best music in the wind. 3mo

Amiable This photo is gorgeous, too! 😍 3mo
SamAnne In the desert of SE Oregon, on Steens Mountain, one can find many carvings in the old aspen by Basque and other sheepherders from the early 1900s, maybe earlier. They are still there. Very cool, except for the disturbing carvings of female figures with antlers. Likely a little later by white dudes. 3mo
BookmarkTavern Oh wow! That‘s so cool! 3mo
lil1inblue @SamAnne How cool! That sounds absolutely breathtaking! 3mo
lil1inblue I love this! 😍 3mo
dabbe We just walked by some aspens on our walk with the pups. We're up north this week and are loving the weather and trees. L😍VE these new words. 🩵💙🩵 3mo
CBee @Deblovestoread we don‘t have them here - wrong kind of climate 😅 3mo
CBee @SamAnne hi!! So good to see you back on Litsy ♥️ Oof. So does it seem like someone came later and added the offensive carvings? That‘s awful. 3mo
CBee @dabbe sounds lovely! 3mo
dabbe @SamAnne 😱😳😤 3mo
SamAnne @CBee aw thank you. I‘ve missed the friendly lovely crew here. 3mo
CBee @SamAnne we‘ve missed you! Hope you‘ve been okay ♥️ 3mo
CatLass007 Some of the words you share with us, although absolutely marvelous, I wonder if I‘ll ever have the opportunity to use. Nevertheless keep sharing, and I will keep remembering and looking for those opportunities. 3mo
CBee @CatLass007 weird and not often used words is the goal ♥️ I‘ll keep sharing! 3mo
Sace Fascinating! 3mo
Daisey I‘ve come across some of these words in my reading, not only A Tree A Day, and always find the carvings a fascinating idea. Great words! 3mo
CBee @Daisey 😊😊 3mo

I‘m not sure if I was in a weird headspace (again) whilst reading this. I liked it, but it‘s very much an “inside the main character‘s head” book and luckily, I liked the main character a lot (we never learn her name). I enjoyed the interspersed stories from Chinese myth and would‘ve liked more of that. I just felt a bit removed from it - again, weird headspace 🤪🤦‍♀️

ChaoticMissAdventures I felt the same. The whole book sets you at a bit of a distance, but I still enjoyed it and would recommend it. I also wish there was more of the Chinese storytelling. It felt at times we were going to sink into more of it then she sort of pivots. 3mo
CBee @ChaoticMissAdventures oh good, maybe it isn‘t just me! I would recommend it too. I did wish for a bit more resolution at the end, did it seem a bit unfinished to you? 3mo
ChaoticMissAdventures @CBee I read the ARC, so I am never sure if it is just my copy or if it just sort of ended. But yeah I felt like she could have expanded it by about 50 pages to add more stories and a cleaner ending. I know some are mad that the MC wasn't mad enough, but I feel like we just never got to her anger phase. 3mo
CBee @ChaoticMissAdventures the finished book just sort of ended too. And I agree, she never got to her anger phase and never even told anyone else about the big C. I just feel like it could‘ve been more fleshed out. I liked being inside her head though. Could relate to her a bit. 3mo
CBee @ChaoticMissAdventures I also loved Darlene and their friendship. Total goals! 3mo
