Welcome to Litsy!

So I decided to start the year off with a lot of spice… And yes, a lot of dark spice, but I‘m not mad at it. But it‘s not all spicy and I think I have a good mix to start this year off right. #BookSpinBingo #NewYearNewReads

This final volume of Locke & Key is nothing short of epic.

“The Widow Botezatu, who had been observing this conversation between the priest and her pet foreigner with poorly hidden glee, was delighted at the prospect of feeding both at once, and readily agreed. We parted from Father Sebastian with a promise to see var in two days, and were finally allowed to leave the church and return to our usual week‘s degeneracy.”

9 - Can you guess how old I am based on these last two books? Clearly loving the nostalgic/VHS theme.

Grady Hendrix is an author I will read anything from. No notes, perfect book. Big fan of the movie adaptation too.

Friendship. Destruction. Demons of the storm & sea. If Stand by Me were set in Puerto Rico during a hurricane...and there was a monster. One of the best books I read this year! #noir #horror #friendship

WOW! This book! I don‘t know where to begin. This is certainly not your typical haunted house tale. And I really didn‘t expect to laugh hysterically at the end. That being said, this is not at all a funny book. It‘s horrifying and gory and bloody and mystifying. Unreliable narrator is an understatement and actually does the narrator a disservice. You‘ll have to read it to find out for yourself what is real and what is reality.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The world had teeth and it could bite you with them anytime it wanted.

Not yet time for #ALSpine2025 but I‘m getting into the spirit early with the sequel to What Moves the Dead (which both @BookmarkTavern and I had on our lists). Egg and cheese on a salt bagel with a Coke to go with it.

I have been falling behind on my King reads (I get easily distracted by all the shiny new books) but I figured now was the perfect time to dive back in.

June for me was another month with only a few, flawed reads. After much deliberation, this is the one I feel most comfortable recommending: a collection of stories with some duds but also delivering some very good ones.
