Welcome to Litsy!

We‘re two weeks away from the next #LiteraryCrew discussion! Discussion on the 30th.

As we prepare for our next discussion, start thinking about titles for next year. I‘ll post a Google form soon to submit suggestions for our voting round. Everyone came with a great list of titles this year; can‘t wait to see next year‘s suggestions!

I‘ve seen the movie and I‘ve had this book on my shelves forever. I was glad it was a #LiteraryCrew pick. That being said, there have been some pretty explicit episodes and not in a way I can tolerate. It feels more like stupid male fantasy writing and does not enhance the story. Am I alone in this? I swear I‘m not a prude! The nature of it just makes me roll my eyes and exclaim “C‘mon dude! Really?”

My husband read this in Uni in a pop culture class where every week they read a book and watched a movie that connected together. I finally got around to reading it thx to #literarycrew What. A. Ride!

4⭐️ I was quite surprised by this book and liked the descriptions of life in this remote Welsh fishing village prior to WWII. Read for the #literarycrew #readalong. #2025 #literaryfiction #historicalfiction #fiction

I am not generally a fan of books that make me sad, but this one was an exception. It was so well written, so evocative of time and place, and so thought-provoking. A 5-Star read for sure.

This was the #LiteraryCrew selection for July, and I enjoyed our discussion, as always. @Librarybelle

This book transports the reader to a small Welsh fishing island in the years leading up to World War II. The islanders live in the old traditional ways, but change is coming… indeed has already come to the mainland. The writing is spare but poignant, honest but nuanced, immersive but reflective. A true gem of a read. I feel like I lived this book.
Another fabulous #LiteraryCrew selection. You definitely know how to pick ‘em, @Librarybelle ! 👏

It‘s time for our #LiteraryCrew discussion! I have 7 questions posted as spoilers; you can find them on my feed, the book‘s feed, or by searching the group‘s hashtags.

I realized I never posted the graphic for next month‘s Ragtime, so I will get that posted today.
