Welcome to Litsy!

I'm only here for a bit longer, I'm not going to finish the 20 books I've checked out, BUT I CANT HELP MYSELF 🤣🤣 #tbr #netgalleybacklog

11) This was a great book. I read this with my youngest after we finished another chapter book. It‘s taken a long time, but he is doing much better with non-graphic novels. He still prefers them, but he really loved this author. They do a great job with their descriptions and the reader did such a good job with their voices that it made it easy for him to understand whose part it was.

This was the worst book I've read in this series. It wasn't a cohesive book, it was a series of one shots with no tension and no meaningful payoff.

It's very clear that Rachel Reid has a favourite character. Ilya is afforded a level of compassion and grace that Shane is not. Ilya‘s mental health struggles are approached respectfully. Shane's disordered eating is treated as a joke (and magically goes away when they are outed)

Two women escape burnout by swapping houses for the holidays, one to spend time on a farm in a small town, the other to spend time in a big city where she can stretch her wings and be her true self. I loved watching the relationships develop, and thoroughly enjoyed the main and side characters. While not terribly original, this was a fun read with a satisfying flow and ending. #LGBTQIA #Christmas #SmallTown #BigCity #HouseSwap

A low pick. If you enjoy stories where mean rich characters get knocked on their butt and learn to love the Christmas spirit as they drop headfirst into a romance, you might enjoy this. I enjoyed the characters and overall story. Some of the growth felt weak and unearned, and some things were a bit too easy for Matthew. Otherwise, thoroughly charming. Points for anxiety disorder rep. #LGBTQIA #Christmas

The library finally has this on audio just in time for a weekend with two long car trips. My youngest loves this author.

Finished in 2025, one of those bpoks that could be so helpful & a lifeline to someone that is having the same questions & concerns but not sure where to turn to. The reason why books are so vital & access to all is necessary. If a book like this can help one person feel less alone that‘s the point. It doesn‘t have to be my experience for me to understand it matters to someone else.

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 read on a device too (the jumps around the page are just perfection on this one)! 💗

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.
