Welcome to Litsy!

Ancient slices of life found in cuneiform clay tablets. Each story is a stepping off point to delve into topics such as medicine, literature, and witchcraft.

This book does an amazing job of being accessible academia. What I mean by that is that it is academic level research and writing, written in a way that is engaging and accessible to people who aren‘t academics.

What is it about haunted houses that captures our imagination? Taylor examines this phenomenon through the lens of houses in popular media.

A fascinating examination into what turns a home into a haunted house, from interior and exterior architecture, to landscape context, to the decay from lack of upkeep. I did wish that more time was spent on the real life examples that inspired stories rather than recounting the movie‘s plot. 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑

I‘d forgotten how much Chimamanda‘s storytelling pulls you in right away…Loving this one already! #arc

4.5 ⭐️

It's a cute funny book that asks you questions of what you would either be, eat, or do. Great for kids 5 to 8 years old. I could see kids laughing and having so much fun with this book.

This is a cute second novel in this series. It reads as young YA. I am not the target audience.

Chemistry and banter are off the charts.

I was laughing so loud my teenager told me to go TF to sleep twice, she heard me from the other end of the house.

Book not in database (yet)

#WeeklyForecast Tagged was amazing 😍 I wouldnt consider it dark romance. More dark contemporary w/ spicy forbidden romance. Tension between the MCs had me dying plus all the twists & turns throughout. I understand the hype now. 4⭐

Other read was phenomenal!! Supernatural 19th century gothic where a twin comes to her sisters aid when losing her sanity after encountering centuries-old murdered woman in the bog. #arc #Netgalley 4⭐

Fun workplace, friendship-to-enemies-to-lovers romance with a bit of heart. I felt Grace could be a little immature at times but I really like Eric‘s character.

⭐️⭐️⭐️💫

This was beyond cute! The characters themselves were adorable and there were a lot of different ones.

The instructions were clear, detailed, and easy to follow. This made it accessible to someone like me who doesn‘t draw.

The characters each had a unique description which would appeal to fantasy or D&D fans. I shared this with my D&D group who immediately wanted to draw their characters as cute creatures.

Thanks to #NetGalley the #ARC

One Night (Hand) Stand is an #ARC provided by the author. #RomCom

Five Broken Blades, #audiobook, I'm reading it because a friend recommended it. Incidentally, the same friend who recommended Fourth Wing and I think we really don't have the same taste in books. I'm underwhelmed.

Both first books in series.
