Welcome to Litsy!

This one has super #BlameitonLitsy pedigree - I first discovered Annie Hartnett through @Chelsea.Poole's #AuldLangSpine list a couple years ago, and when I recently posted about how much I loved Unlikely Animals @Christine recommended this one!

I loved this one so much, a bittersweet portrait of grief through the eyes of 10-year old Elvis. Hartnett has a talent for injecting just the right amount of quirk into her characters and stories (cont'd)

Well my books finally came in. It was around 5:30PM and I was already in my pajamas (jammie time comes early in my house). I didn‘t feel like getting dressed to walk across the street to the mail box so my participation in the #GNreadathon is limited to today only.

I like that these two books are color coordinated.

Edit: this is a #blameitonlitsy book haul 😂

Coffee tawk? yes please! feel free to chat here or on original post- or both! or Start your own thread!

I‘m in NYC with the protagonist, Bea as she ensnares rich blue blood Collin Chase. This is a #blameitonLitsy choice. Bea is a con artist, but the reader also roots for her. It‘s complicated.

A #BlameItOnLitsy for which I very much thank Litsy! Loved this sweet middle-grade graphic novel about figuring out how to grow up without losing your essential self. It's also casually #queer. Extra points for making me cry. 😂

#blameitonlitsy After @bookwyrm7's post, I spent about 15 minutes looking into Chuck Tingle. His schtick seemed clever, but I'm not one for erotica. Then I saw that he also has written ace-positive stories! Gleefully meta, you can't help but smile at the blunt affirmations and blatant cracks at the expense of our culture of compulsory sexuality. I'm not sure his erotica would interest me much, but I'll definitely be checking out more from him.

#blameitonlitsy I listened to this based on @Chelsea.Poole review a while back. It was a really interesting look at the experiences and politics of the blind community from someone who has a degenerative condition. I appreciated learning from the perspective of someone who will soon no longer be an outsider and who is trying to figure out his place in a complicated social structure, while presenting the information in an unbiased way.
