Welcome to Litsy!

A thoroughly charming collection of essays and comics exploring different kinds of love, from romantic and sexual love to fandom love, self-love, familial love, and beyond! I was delighted to find favorites like Maia Kobabe, Dana Simpson, and others. Lots of queer rep too! I did skip one essay that felt like it was by a guy who thought girls owe him sex. #LGBTQ #Nonfiction #Love

Anyone else spend a ton of time in text RPGs when you were a teen? I started in middle school and absolutely loved playing/writing these games. I mostly did fandom RPGs, but sometimes I ventured into original RPGs. My friends and I also exchanged notebooks at school with RPGs in them we were playing/writing together.

So far, I'm enjoying this collection of comics and essays by various authors, illustrators, and others. I was delighted to find this comic by Dana Simpson in the collection 🥰

I've savored every moment reading through this fabulous anthology of stories and comics over the past couple of weeks. It was the perfect reading material when I only had a snippet of time here or there.

Love this description of the 90's and the footnote! Apparently my teenage years were during a "quaint and totally wild moment in time." Loving this collection so far, and I really liked this story by Gabby Rivera.

My order from @AaronsBooksLititz came this morning! How am I ever gonna focus on work today?? #supportlocal #indiebookstores

So this is my #digitallibrary stack for @24in48

This is all from Hoopla. The app got an update and I‘m not sure I like it, since it put a “play “ button in the middle of the boom covers I have checked out.

I‘m going to get my #MargaretAtwood read for #authoramonth lead by @Soubhiville . I‘m going for GN because I‘m not sure Imhave time to finish anything else.

A good variety of comics and stories, of creators I recognized and ones I didn‘t. I enjoyed some of the contributions more than others, but that‘s to be expected in an anthology. 4/5 #comics #anthology #novemberreads

#24in48 — mission accomplished! This was such a great time. 😄🎉

Ended the readathon on a high note with this fab collection of essays/short comics.

Now I‘m going to take a cue from Tilney and crash out 😴😁

I‘m really loving this collection of essays/comics. It‘s not only about geeks finding love, but ultimately finding themselves. This particular paragraph resonates for me for a few reasons. The full essay itself is fantastic. #24in48

So my proposed #24in48 #tbr is a teensy bit Lemire heavy... 😁

Not pictured: short story collections on my kindle. So I‘m totally prepared for this weekend.

Looking forward to this readathon and hopeful I can actually accomplish 24 hours of reading!

Pretty excited about this holiday appropriate #bookmail 😁
I feel the need to point out that this does not break my book buying ban because I preordered this back in early December. I know no one but me is keeping score, I just had to clear the air, so to speak. 🤣
