Welcome to Litsy!

Winter Solstice library haul! I‘m especially excited for the tagged book, and for the Paris guide. I just booked a week there, in an ACTUAL GARRET. All the literary sources agree you should get a garret when you run away to Paris—unless you‘re D‘Artagnon, in which case you may live in a ground floor flat with only one lackey.

While we were waiting for oldest niece to finish her last final, my sister and I visited the local thrift store and they were having a book sale - 10 cents each! 😱

Here‘s my 20 cent purchase. I need to read Dreams of Gods & Monsters this upcoming year and I only have the hardcovers nestled away on my shelves, so this was great timing.

I knew not to expect much from the source of one of my favorite Christmas movies, but this was still a strange read. Steeped heavily in Christian theology, yet still unexpectedly horny, with little of the charm and none of the humor of the film adaptation. Also, most of the plot points are completely abandoned by the end. An unsatisfying, but thankfully short, read.

My library holds came in so fast! And I‘ll listen to Herc on audiobook. Already excited for January!! #AuldLangSpine

I was disappointed in this book. It's pretty boring. 2 short stories with only 44 #WGWordSearch #winterGames24 #HolidayBookDragons #Adventathon #ReadAway24 @StayCurious @BookmarkTavern @Andrew65 @DieAReader @GHABI4ROSES

I am SO excited for my #AuldLangSpine list from @Itchyfeetreader !! Thank you so much!! The 5 pictured ones are what I plan to start with! So many cool titles that I‘ve either been wanting to read or haven‘t heard of yet! I LOVE mythology, too. And we both like Kate Quinn! :)
HUGE thank you to @monalyisha for being matchmaker extraordinaire!!

Love me a Debbie Macomber Christmas story!!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️

A soft pick (tagged) ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Lyrical, pretty to ponder, & great potential for the story b/t Angel & Demon. Ultimately fell a little flat for me.

Soft pick for Gold Hills. Again, such pretty writing, & fascinating story & characters! I don‘t know if it tried to do too much in too few pages, but it wasn‘t as strong as it could have been. ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Pram - a quick audio creature feature ⭐️⭐️⭐️
