Welcome to Litsy!

Great read about the mysteries of the Pacific Northwest! I live in Washington state if it helps.

Went to the Coney Island Mermaid Parade yesterday!! Here‘s me doing a hobby of mine - dressing and swimming as a mermaid!

We couldn‘t go in the water because of the lightning (see top left) but we got to get photos on the beach!

The second InCryptid book was just as fun as the first. McGuire populates her urban fantasy with memorable, entertaining characters—take Istas who walks around asking “if there will be carnage,” for example—and sets them in a world where dragons, talking mice (who happen to really like cake), & other such creatures hide & thrive amongst humans…until the Covenant of St. George shows up to purge them. Humorous with a good dash of danger & mayhem.

This is quite an interesting book. It‘s non-fiction and was written by a man who traveled to the area in British Columbia known as the Great Bear Rainforest. He went there to talk to people who have seen Sasquatch, hoping, of course, to see one himself. But the book is about more than that, it‘s also a glimpse into the lives of the First Nation tribes who live there. Wonderful writing.

As a #sherlocked fanatic, I revere the original canon by C-Doyle. His belief and essay on fairies? #notsomuch #alittlecraycray

First book of 2024! I thought this book was interesting. If you‘re interested in unexplained phenomena, conspiracy theories or men in black stuff, this is your book!
