Welcome to Litsy!

#TenBeforeTheEnd progress is better than I would have thought when I created my original line up. Planning on finding more audiobook time because I‘ve got just under 10 hours to go on tagged book. 14 hours if I need to drop my speed. Audiocooking requires a slower speed for me. I don‘t think it will take me long to read Bookshops & Bonedust, so I think I‘m actually going to finish this challenge, which makes me feel great about wrapping up 2024.

Up next- This book has mixed reviews but the words “ cozy” and “ cats” in the reviews sold me, lol

I haven't read this outloud to my students yet, but I'm sure it will be a hit. I didn't know about your kids, but mine seem to love meta fiction and I think that's a lousy name for the literary device. May I suggest Ironic Groveresque?

I got my #naughtylistholidayswap package today.
It is Harpy approved.

This novel about a guy who inherits his uncle‘s villain business is already so fun!

This is so much fun. I loved almost everything about this. I will say having followed Mary Robinette Kowal‘s journey with her cat Elsie that Hera in this book is based on Hera doesn‘t quite have Elsie‘s same sass. But overall loved the talking cats and dolphins.

I adored this graphic novel about a cat who can appear out of nowhere, multiply, and be downright spooky. When a kitten briefly enters the story, it steals the spotlight but only briefly. The main character can only deal with “one” creepy kitty! It did take me some time to get the format, reading from the end to the beginning. Just tonight I realized I should have been reading the pages similarly, left to right. Lesson learned. ⬇️

The mystery in this one didn‘t reveal itself until halfway through, there were some really questionable medical situations going on, and it seemed like Christmas was just stuck in there to make the title work, BUT there were kittens so that redeemed the book for me.

5.0 ⭐️

This brought me so much joy and had the weird quirkiness that I was hoping from books like HitchHikers Guide to the Galaxy. The dolphins were freaking hilarious and honestly were a highlight for me in the book. I loved the weird turn of events with the ending and even shed a tear on the last page. I‘m becoming more and more impressed with this author and look forward to exploring more of their work.

I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it (some I‘ve had so long I don‘t even remember why!). Feel free to join in!
