Welcome to Litsy!

Slightly slow to start, but then it veered off into a completely unexpected direction and just, whoa. I immediately downloaded the second one. Phew! #booked2023 #titlestartswithvorw

I really enjoyed this cozy. Liz's best friend has a stalker who is leaving tarot cards at her door. Liz is first on the hunt for the stalker and then the stalker's killer.

January Reviews

This YA horror has been on my TBR a while. I picked it up for January‘s #ReadSpooky2023 prompt. I thought it was a traditional haunted house story, but there was a twist I didn‘t see coming. It‘s a pick for me, but a low one. It‘s not a long book and I feel that the story could have been fleshed (ha!) out more. I will pick up Lukavics‘ other books. #haunted #Booked2023 #TitleStartsWithVorW

This is a unique viewpoint on Ojibwe culture. An older wolf "Uncle" spends time in the evenings with the pups of the pack storytelling. He passes on the history of the Ojibwe and their relationship with the wolves. I found much to contemplate in this short book. #20in4 readathon @Andrew65 #Booked2023 #TitleStartsWithVorW @alisiakae @Cinfhen @BarbaraTheBibliophage

This was a book I #meanttoreadin2022 #pop23 but, despite knowing that it‘s about Ash‘s best friend Edi, who has terminal cancer and is in hospice care, I found it too much to start with so hibernated it. However, it ended up being heartwarming as well as heartbreaking. It‘s more about Ash, who is hilarious and a hot mess, but learns about herself through caring for Edi.
