Welcome to Litsy!

While I did enjoy this, it fell short of the books I love by TJ Klune. Still a pick.

My main issue is that Artimis Darth Vader, the little girl in the story, sometimes comes across as incredibly naive and sometimes comes across as too mature. This might be fitting for the character and circumstances, but it felt inconsistent and pulled me out of the story.

Still worth a read, just didn‘t live up to Whispering Door for me.

I loved this book. Chuck Tingle is so good at writing horror that deals with an issue impacting the queer community. And the evils of capitalism. Hollywood out but closeted back home, screenwriter Misha is trying to write a real queer season finale to one of his shows but comes up against the powers that be. Like all his previous monsters from his queer coded movies. This was at times creepy and funny. It talks about the importance of rep. Pick!

Two more #offmyshelf !

On your shelf for over 5 years: House of Leaves (bailed, still counting it since it's off my tbr. Storygraph doesn't agree with that philosophy apparently, which is a bit annoying.)

Fave genre or author: Winter's Orbit - sff romance is definitely one of my favourites these days. Everina Maxwell, however, is a new to me author and I really enjoyed this book!

No bingo yet...

Ughhhh. This had so much potential. Talitha Velkwood still reeling from a tragic event 20 yrs ago gets an offer to go back to her haunted street she left. That piece of haunted street that exists in its own reality separate from our own. One only Talitha and 2 other girls can enter. It could have used more characterization, I‘m not a fan of going back and forth between places where nothing really happens or gets moved forward. I did like her 👇🏼

Another good book. I liked this a bit more than the first because I liked the family drama!

Ava thinks going back to her retail job after breaking up w/ a coworker is going to be hell. & then both of them are voluntold to rescue a lost customer through a multidimensional wormhole. Should be easy, right?

Such fun! We get clear views of who Ava & Jules are, & then wacky adventures! Such world building for such a short novella. A bit more ambiguous ending then I usually prefer, but I‘ll hope that‘s because there will be a sequel.🌕🌕🌕🌕🌗

Mmmm I thought this was YA, since the MC is 16, but…maybe like older YA?? It was alright. The story felt a little half-baked, and it was a lot of sitting around and waiting for things to happen. Also, how in this small town has no one noticed a BASEMENT full of goths going missing???

This is a cozy little read all about grief and how it manifests in our lives. Through the different characters, different reactions to loss and ways of dealing with it are explored. At times it‘s a little upsetting, but mostly it‘s like drinking a warm cup of tea on a quiet night. A few editorial issues, but they didn‘t really detract that much from the book or the story and feelings it tried to impart. A lovely read.

New favorite author need I say more? This is a beautiful story of love, friendship and acceptance. Following Waterloo Viola is presumed dead and takes the chance to transition to the woman she is. But when her best friends depression following her “death” reaches a breaking point, she can‘t help but go to him
