Welcome to Litsy!

Christmas gift for aunt done.

Here are my picks for #ReadYourEbooks this month. I feel like I manifested the 2 spin after saying I need to read Negroland this month, so sorry if anyone is unhappy with that number. 😂 Hopefully I‘ll read at least one other as well!

And down to the wire, I am finally posting my #ReadYourEbooks list for December. I finally read one of the picked books for November. 🥳 I need to read Negroland for a reading challenge this month, so even if it isn‘t picked, I should knock at least one of these off.

So many things!
1. First and foremost, CHRISTMAS! 🎄🎁🎅
2. Christmas gift shopping—gift-giving is my love language.
3. Christmas movies!
4. Christmas music!
5. Seeing my far-flung children come home!
6. Some cool weather—finally.
7. Reflecting on the past year and setting goals for the next. I know that‘s January, but you have to make the actual decisions in December.

What I love most about this collection is that Hearn so loved Japan and understood how culturally important it was to capture these tales as accurately as possible. He didn‘t try to Westernize anything, he wanted to bring the culture to the attention of the Western world in its true form. I love him for that. I loved reading these supernatural tales and will be seeking out more.

You know, these are kinda fun. It was a bit like, “What if Sherlock Holmes were into investigating the Supernatural?” My favorite was the guy who visited his old school which was a monastery, now in ruins. His old teachers are there, and they haven‘t aged. He realizes they‘re demonic monks a little too late because the dark magic ceremony is *happening* but John Silence comes to his rescue.

I recommend this trilogy by Libba Bray. Here another shelvie with various books.

This month‘s book is #Christine Grab your copy and check back at the end of the month for open discussion! Don‘t forget to tag me so I can see which version you have! #LosersClub #StephenKing #StephenKingInOrder #KingFromTheBeginning #ConstantReader #ReadAlong #BuddyRead
