Welcome to Litsy!

A sad but cosy bookish adventure.

I tend to dive blindly into any Christmas theme books this time of year (especially if they are free), and thus get a lot of misses.
But ever once in a while I stumbled onto something that just speaks to my heart, exactly like this little book did.

A novella I might re-read this time every year. An excellent reminder that unchecked power and injustice targets the most vulnerable in society, and only a few quiet heroes tend to decide not to look away. This was a top choice on my #AuldLangSpine2026 list. #AuldLangSpine #DashingThruDecember #Green

Sapphic tension, dragons, matriarchal power struggles—yes please. I devoured this in one sitting, captivated by the gender-bending emissary and the guarded queen. But the twist was easy to guess, and the ending felt a bit rushed. Still, I appreciated how Yang explored the clash between belief systems and the power of myth. Thought-provoking, but not quite as fiery as I‘d hoped. 🔥🐉🏳️‍🌈 ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Just discovered this collection from Amazon and am excited to read each story. Anyone else love #TimeTravel ?

With this clever little novella finished today I have finished all but 2 of my #bookspin and #doublespin books for the year.

Apparently, I have a thing for second books in fantasy novella series that (purportedly…barely) feature vampires. I was quickly reminded of the second book in Seanan McGuire‘s Wayward Children series, Down Among the Sticks & Bones. I liked that one better than the series opener, Every Heart a Doorway, & I liked this one better than the first in this duology, Silver in the Wood. I think this may be an unpopular opinion but it‘s one I stand by! 👇🏻

Hot for Slayer: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Falling: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

My Boyfriends are all Monsters: It was really good and then ? wtfffff

There are 2 more, but my brain has moved on from this Amazon Original Series.
What I read was really good!
Monsters was so good and mysterious, but then it got so weird. When she said "Hemlock", I got chills. But yeah, the ending.

I‘m usually skeptical of holiday specials in a series, but I enjoyed this continuation of the character‘s relationships, & the mystery was very interesting as well. A little bit sappy as the immortals search for the perfect gifts for eachother, including a somewhat misguided decision to gift a mystery in an attempt to keep married life from being a bore.

I listened to 3 versions of the audiobook and chose this one. It is also on sale for two more days for slightly more than the one in my previous post. #whattheDickens @Cuilin
