Welcome to Litsy!

I pre-ordered a book from my local bookstore and I got a copy from Canada? I live in Florida???

#bookmail while I was at work yesterday. The tagged is my April Owlcrate adult fantasy. And then I ordered Home is Where the Bodies Are because I loved the premise and cover. And finally, my #botm books arrived.

THE SINS ON THEIR BONES gives the reader a lot to admire, including a secondary world with shades of 19th century Russia, a magic system rooted in Jewish folklore, and a queer-accepting society. I enjoyed it very much, but I probably would‘ve loved it had there been a bit more depth to the characters‘ relationships and a few more chances for the reader to put things together for themself via context instead of direct revelation. #gaymay

I‘m dying to read an ARC on my new (-to-me) Kindle, but THE SINS ON THEIR BONES was only available to me as a PDF through the NetGalley reader and it expires soon, so here we go! It‘s very moreish so far, though there are a couple of issues that‘ve kept me really liking it instead of loving it. We‘ll see how it develops (and if it‘s a full story; at this point, it feels like it could lead to a cliffhanger).

I had to postpone my usual February plan to take the month off from American creators because I‘m still in the thick of my big X-Men catch-up and I didn‘t want to pause it for that long, but I‘m definitely going ahead with Gay May as scheduled! To that end, I‘ve started stockpiling queer books. WHAT A DESI GIRL WANTS showed up in a Little Free Library this morning and THE SINS ON THEIR BONES was too tempting on NetGalley. #gaymay
