Welcome to Litsy!

The Libby hold goddesses have spoken… My first official book of 2026 is this awesome graphic novel gem recommended by the equally awesome @JamieArc for #AuldLangSpine

Most teens feel the need to break away from their parents, but what if yours is a well-loved superhero? So much fun and the artwork is just stunning! Great device read on how it. Moves around the page too! 💗

I didn't connect with this one the way I have with some of Klune's other books. There's some early decisions by the protagonist that just don't make sense. And I refuse to believe that an unemployed reporter (excuse me, *journalist*) in the US in 1995 would have had the infamous Nokia cell phone. If anything, it would have been a pager. Just disappointing.

I thought I didn‘t much care for poetry and then I read this collection. This book was so beautiful, emotional, self-reflective, and inspiring. I truly loved it. At the back of the book, the about the author note reads “Their work strives to be a lifeline to the lonely, a megaphone in spaces of dangerous silence, and a permission slip to feel it all.”

This collection is so heartfelt and beautiful. I‘m so sad I came to their work so late. Out of trauma and adversity (in many forms), comes growth and healing leaving the reader with a hopeful and compassionate self-reflection. I‘m loving this so far.

I loved Heated Rivalry and somehow was not prepared to once again be blown away by The Long Game! Ilya and Shane are just chef kiss perfection 😍 and my boy llya is going into the hall of fame of book boyfriends🙌🏾 I adored so many elements in this book but my top was llya relationship with Yuna and David. It was just so sweet seeing him welcomed as second son❤️ I‘m obsessed and will be patiently waiting for season 2.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

EBook is on sale at Amazon today - £1.99/€2.13. (might be today only)

Really interesting memoir about growing up nonbinary and asexual. I read for a variety of reasons but one is to experience what is outside of my own microcosm and this book certainly does that. I can also imagine this book being a lifeline for anyone who is questioning their own gender. It‘s so important that works like this remain accessible for everyone.

Gothic story. Haunted house. Terrible relatives. Second chance at love (M/M). Neurodivergent MC.

When my mother was alive, I was a different person. That little girl wore simple clothes and wildflowers in her hair and could sing any aria or tavern song known in the Northern Kingdoms.

I'm reading these as my library holds come in. I don't think it's massively important to read them in order. This is book 5, I've read 1 and 2.

The writing has improved loads. It read like original fiction and not reworked fanfic. It's still simplistic and a lot of things are touched on but not fully explored.
