Welcome to Litsy!

Verity‘s dancing persona is invited back for a season of Dance or Die. Unfortunately, the show becomes quite literal when eliminated contestants start disappearing.

I love my popcorn urban fantasy series. It‘s so campy, but so delightful. Verity is such fun, the introduction of Grandma Alice made me cackle, & the Mice continue to be a goddamn delight. I was disappointed in the end, but I loved the world expansion & the side characters!🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑

Everything I like in a cozy mystery. Amateur female sleuth, police detective boyfriend, likable supporting characters, small town setting, and a mystery that I can‘t figure out. I‘ll read more of this series. 4⭐️

This was my April pick for #ThematicCozies #Sport, and also my #BookSpin #DoubleSpin

A darker, more cynical version of one of Streatfeild's “shoes“ stories, in which an exceptionally beautiful girl achieves success and adoration without having a spark of human kindness in her soul. The title is a biting commentary on what society values in women. A pick because it's entertaining and has a fascinating “illicit“ relationship in it, but be warned, it's deeply sad.

What a funny and fabulous little book!

This book is filled with art featuring dogs alongside a short blurb offering commentary on the piece. The commentary was hilarious. I laughed out loud so many times.

Additionally, I loved the random fun facts that were incorporated into the blurbs. For example, I learned that the Olympics used to have art competitions.

This was such a fun fantasy tale!

The strongest part of the book were the two lead characters, Cinna and Hokuren. I absolutely loved their friendship and the found family nature of it. They have both been through a lot and it was so heartwarming to see them act and care for each other like family.

A birthday present from my Mom who taught me to love birdwatching, this is a lovely memoir, nature observation, artwork filled book. The birds are west coast species which reminded me of my years in Utah. Tan‘s imagination comes through too. A restful book. #bookspin @TheAromaofBooks

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The first book in this series took me a little while to get into, I actually thought about quitting it multiple times, but then by the end, really enjoyed it.
This one, however, I was in it and loving it from the very first page.
It did get a little bit repetitive, but I was always happy to pick it back up and really enjoyed every minute of reading it.
Definitely looking forward to book 3 this fall!
