Welcome to Litsy!

Christmas gift for aunt done.

I enjoyed this short novella prequel to the Partials series, about one of the cyborg-esque people of the series title. I don‘t remember Heron having a POV in the books and she‘s a really intriguing character so it was fun to learn more about her past. She turns out to be pivotal to the history of her people because the humans designed and trained her to be too smart for them.

Loving the #AuldLangSpine list from @willaful
I had already started the tagged, but haven‘t read any of the others! But I‘ve enjoyed the other Poirot mysteries I‘ve read and have wanted to read more Pratchett since reading a novella in a collection earlier this year. And I think Tom Lake looks good. Going to see what my library has available and then plan from there!

Thanks again to @monalyisha for her matchmaking skills!

I wanted to love this one, but it never pulled me in as completely as I'd hoped. It felt like the action was just around the corner and something was always just about to happen. I enjoyed the wrold building and it's obviously very inspired by Narnia, but it was very slow. I still enjoyed it, but not enough to dive into the next book. I think this one would be a better fit for Middle Grade, which it's geared towards.

I put off reading this book for a long time because I figured it would be too sad. But #QueerBC made me pick it up & I was surprised how much I enjoyed it. Yes, there are heavy themes of death & grief, and the title doesn't lie. But overall the feeling of hope prevails. I loved the found family elements, and the way smaller interconnected stories were weaved throughout showing how our lives impact the world around us in ways we don't realize

Two of my favourite words: snow day!
Finished this YA thriller last night. Kelsey‘s mother goes missing from their fortress-like house. That‘s weird because her mom hasn‘t left the house in 17 years. Then masked men show up and all hell breaks loose, sweeping Kelsey and her potential new “love” interest up in some made-for-teens action. It was okay, but not memorable.
