Welcome to Litsy!

Last morning reading alongside this lopsided cutie before I go to France! I‘d be a lot more excited if my Airbnb host, who insists on meeting guests instead of using a lockbox, would respond to me. As it is, I‘m stressed and angry and very much hoping I don‘t need to call on Airbnb‘s insurance policies to find another place on the quick. We‘ll see if I can concentrate well enough to tackle another chunk of this excellent novella.

I didn't get to all the books I wanted to read for the #TransRightsReadathon but I've got a few more I hope to read / finish in April.

March wrap-up! I finished 8 books this month, including 3 new releases, 2 #botm picks, and a short story collection.
🥇We Could Be Rats
🥈Tender is the Flesh
🥉Project Hail Mary

Trans authors you should read! This is a very American based list. I think it is very cool and important to read Sarah McBride now that she is the first Trans senator! Read her life in her own words as you see her making headlines for wanting to use the toilet at work....
Others to read who I love:
Akwaeke Emezi - Vivek is my absolute fav
Imogen Binnie
Nicola Dinan
Janet Mock
Aiden Thomas

This was a wild month. I read more books than there were days in the month (just). I read A LOT of good books, but also a fair share of meh books. Talk about an adventure.

Such a beautiful soul!
This is such an emotional rollercoaster. It was beautiful and heartbreaking, but also funny in places. I seriously wish we could stop policing children and labelling it “class disruption.” Children being themselves is not a disruption. It is honest. Maybe oddly, I‘m angry. I‘m so angry for this amazing human being, I‘m angry for other people living it right now, who are left with zero information about themselves and reality

This has been in my library since 2020. It‘s time to actually read it already.

In this installment a pair of famous footballers are on trial for rape. We follow our MC, Evan, as he takes stock of his life and how he ended up in this situation.

As always, Boyne makes us take a hard look at the consequences of life‘s choices, be it those that we make or those that have been made for us.

On to Fire! 🔥

It‘s almost time for @TheAromaofBooks to reach into her magical bag of tricks for April‘s #BookSpin numbers. Here‘s my list!
Righty-O! 😸

This was an absolute delight of a book with unbridled feral energy. My new comfort read.

I cannot recommend the audiobook enough. The voices are amazing and the narrator gives Avra the right amount of manic, racoon energy that brings him to life.
