Welcome to Litsy!

Almost finished all of the bonus prompts from this year‘s LGBTQIA+ book bingo! Speaking of, I should hopefully have the bingo board for 2026 finished soon and will get it posted. If you use Storygraph, though, the challenge is already live! #LGBTQIA2025 #LGBTQIA2026

🎉 #lgbtqia2025 Book Bingo card complete! 🎉
Cutting it close though. 😂

I read 60 books this year and all of them (I think??) had at least one queer character and/or a queer author. Genuinely surprised when I looked them over.

Wow, I was not expecting to love this as much as I did! I also am an idiot and didn‘t realize it would be poetry. 😂 Thanks for recommending it everyone!

Reading my last #lgbtqia2025 book for a full board bingo. Fingers crossed I finish in time!

Merry Christmas Eve All!

I‘m so exited to open my Jolabokaflod swap gift in a bit!

Very charming and cozy watching these two work hard to figure each other out and grow closer. I wound up looking qualia since it never came up in the book, and understanding this concept of fleeting moments and one-time experiences really heightened my experience of this quiet, slow-paced story. #Manga #LGBTQIA

Some thoughts:

Honourable mention to #camplitsy Tilt for best bookclub read.

Beyond the Wall has a really eclectic queer kinda punk biker gang crew I‘d love to spend time with 😂 Read for #lgbtqia2025

Can‘t wait for the next #Murderbot.

Loved the SA Crosby and excited to read more. Ditto for TJ Klune which was a #QueerBC pick (I think).

Heartstopper is so different to my usual reads but it‘s sooo good. Highly recommended.

Deb takes you through teenage years filled with friendship, broken self-image, cultural connections, blossoming art skills, and just trying to stay alive when so much seems to be working against you. This book is well organized and has a lot of visual interest while conveying to readers who may face similar struggles and traumas that they are not alone. Recommended to check the content warnings. #Comics #AAPI #MentalHealth

Three siblings take a crash course through how not to handle holiday romances, and the punches keep coming. I read this over the summer and enjoyed it. Each character's story is interesting and well-paced, with a satisfying conclusion. I almost felt overwhelmed by so many things happening at once but it felt balanced enough to keep me going.

When Selena comes to her aunt‘s home, she expects to find family & rest after her mother‘s death & a recent breakup. Instead she finds an empty house, a squash god, friends, & an evil roadrunner.

T Kingfisher really does not miss. This was a charming story about finding where you belong & the strength to stand up for yourself, w/ creepy scenes of not knowing what‘s happening. Adored all the characters, & the ending was perfection.🌕🌕🌕🌕🌗

I've been meaning to read this series, so with the Heated Rivalry tv show airing this month, it was the perfect time to start. I really enjoyed Scott and Kip's story. A chance meeting at the smoothie shop where Kip works leads to a secret romance between the two men. Poor Scott wrestles with his identity as a closeted gay hockey player and Kip won't stay a secret forever. I loved their chemistry together
