Welcome to Litsy!

It‘s always interesting to do a monthly comparison. Wild Dark Shore should be top 4 over Early Morning Riser. But it went against the number one too early. Fun to compare! #Mybookoftheyear

“And so this is Christmas…” These are the books my lovely bride Victoria Blewer, our amazing Grace Experience, and Grace‘s fantastic fiancé Stephen Shore found under the tree yesterday. May you all always have a book you love by your bedside!

Hubby came through for Christmas with titles from my #auldlangspine list from @Lesliereadsalot I have seen these on so many best of lists. Can‘t wait! #auldlangspine2026

@merelybookish ! Thank you so much for my #JolabokaflodSwap (and extras!! See next post).

I‘ve been restraining myself from buying this book before Christmas and look how my good behaviour repaid me! 😉 And Anne of Green Gables chocolates and hot chocolate and that lovely card! I‘m thrilled. Thank you! 😘😘

Thanks once again to our always wonderful swap leader, @MaleficentBookDragon ! ❤️

Sorry, friends. This one didn‘t do it for me. Bailed at 35%.

This book is a collection of essays published online from about 2011-2014 on topical issues, from the treatment of the most vulnerable to the state of academia. They are through the lens of a writer based in St Louis rather than one of the coasts. Because of the structure, there‘s a fair amount of repetition, but it‘s interesting to see where we were then and how things now are somehow so much worse.

I didn't have this on my Christmas List, but watching Tucker Carlson, Ben Shapiro and Laura Ingham tear into each other and cause a Civil War within MAGA is the best gift ever!! The only annoying part, I found myself agreeing with Carlson on a lot of what he said. If he truly meant it, and wasn't just play acting, then maybe there's hope. #MAGACivilWar #UnexpectedGift

Wasnt planning for the tagged to most likely be my Christmas week read but when your library hold comes in, you gotta answer the call 🤷🏻‍♀️
