Welcome to Litsy!

A boy has an innocent crush on a grocery clerk. He buys sandwiches daily just to see her, until classmates call her a “freak,” mentioning botched facial surgery. Shaken, he stops visiting, though he keeps drawing her. Lonely and unsure, he‘s nudged by his friend Tutti to face his feelings and seek the quiet connection he misses. A cute novella.

This was my #DoubleSpin for November, and I'm glad I finally read it. I'm now caught up on the #Outlander books and am only awaiting the final season of the show and the final book in the series. Perhaps I'll try something from the “Methadone List.“ But first, I need to read my #BookSpin book for the month.

I cannot recommend The Murderbot Diaries enough. So. Much. Fun. And the narration by Kevin R. Free is perfection.

Utterly perfect sexy queer body horror, chef's kiss, no notes!

Twins Jack (Jacqueline) & Jill (Jillian) find themselves in a strange land in book 2 of McGuire's Wayward Children Series, read by the author. One decides to stay in a mansion with the master, while the other leaves to learn science. There is a reveal approximately halfway through the novella which I won't spoil, but I feel added an additional sinister layer to what to that point had felt like a fairy tale. I will say that this is a novella (Cont)

2✨ This book hurt. We have a demon that loves her city that is destroyed. An angel helps her rebuild, but more happens that caused my personal heartache. It is short in jumps through time a lot because of that. Then it hurt. 😭 #FableBR @Littlewolf1

3✨ I struggled with the racism in this book. Especially, when a certain character dies because of hands that should protect. This launches Black Tom into what he becomes. It is pretty dark and gory, but I like the connection to Lovecraft that gave major creep vibes. #FableBR @Littlewolf1

Pretty quick read - kind of leave you interested and wishing there was more once you reached the end. But everything really came together nicely and I didn‘t really feel like there was any large unresolved lingering pieces. And I loved at the end we get extra insight to all the characters, a play list and some nightcaps to enjoy as you pick out the next book off your TBR shelf (shelves, let‘s be honest).

Wasn‘t my favourite murderbot book but I still love the journey!

Onto the next!
