Welcome to Litsy!

It‘s been about a month since I‘ve finished a physical book. In July I‘m trying to read books I own, because I have too many books coming in and not reading enough of them!

I really liked this Emily Henry! I might like Funny Story a little more but this one might be my next fav. Set in Georgia. Alice is interviewing a socialite in her 80s about her past and all the drama. Some spicy scenes but not too many.

This was my #bookspin for July!

27% in & this has 5⭐️vibes for me!
if #Sedona means anything to you, you have to read this. Bryant nails the place like no other! vortex pulls, Red Rock Fever, local lore, strange residents.
This is such a trip for me as I live less than an hour away & visit Sedona frequently! 🏜️

Not my favorite of her memoirs. As it is a memoir of her family tribe there was just so much going on with all the various family members that the writing felt choppy. I did very much love the tribe living though; and if I could, I too would have my whole family within a six block radius.

Another dark yet tender fantasy from Wiswell, for the lonely monster in all of us. Who might Heracles have been if being turned monstrous by a pissed-off, impulsive Hera had only made him more empathetic to others? Someone who wears the whole Nemean lion instead of its skin...

It's maybe a bit too long and repetitive, but overall a lovely rejection of toxic masculinity and an embrace of unconditional love and forgiveness.

This book was just as cute as the first one!

I read the first Winnie the Pooh book 2 years ago and was obsessed. I am so glad I got around to reading the sequel. It had all the charm of its predecessor. Pooh and all his friends were (still) so adorable. In this story, we are finally introduced to Tigger. Tigger was an absolute delight.

Here‘s my #BookSpinBingo card for July!
I‘m currently reading my #bookspin book, The Book of Magic by Alice Hoffman, and I‘m loving it.

Thanks for hosting @TheAromaofBooks !

So cute! I thought there was enough holiday vibes here, plus there was depth and spice. And I do love the grumpy/sunshine trope, and in this case, the MMC was the sunshine!

#bookspinbingo - this is my #bookspin for this month!

Just realized I never posted my #bookspin picks for July
Excited for both! @TheAromaofBooks

Well researched and written like a thriller, this was a fast, fascinating read. I had no idea that Pepys had gone through anything like this. And the dangers of “populist” movements are hard to ignore. #bookspin @TheAromaofBooks

My current #BookSpin read! This is the second book of The Witcher series.
