Welcome to Litsy!

4.5✨

Vivid, humorous & down right chilling. A vibrant fantasy gothic retelling of Snow White with an extremely sharp FMC on the heels of a profound mystery. Very slow burn since the beginning heavily focuses on Anja‘s journey to being fascinated with poison/plants. It picks up heavy midway and throws you right into mystery & intrigue. Not surprised that I adore another Kingfisher novel #Netgalley #arc

The moon has turned to cheese. & what does everybody do? Hit up Reddit, buy books, throw Flip Off the Moon parties, & have an existential crisis.

This was very silly, but very fun. We get a whole bunch of POVs which frustrated me a bit as nobody got a lot of time, but I loved the different media types from Reddit to chat conversations. The jokes were great. I enjoyed this, but the way everything was left felt a little bit of a let down.🌕🌕🌕🌗🌑

I won this through a Goodreads Giveaway!

Go get this book when it hits bookshelves. It publishes March 24, 2025! You will not be sorry.

The emotions I had reading this book were like a rollercoaster. I was laughing so hard, then the next paragraph, I would have tears in my eyes. Fredrik Backman's writing is amazing! The way he wrote made me feel as if I was right there that summer on the peir with the artist, Ted, Joar, and Ali!

Sitting outside her feline highness #GhostCat sits on my leg. I only have my phone, but it has a few books on it. It's just that I don't like reading on my phone. 🤦🏻‍♀️ First world problems.

I enjoyed this domestic thriller which focuses on a married couple who seems perfect on TV is slowly cracking behind the scenes until a a dark secret is revealed between the two and Dawn takes off with their twins. This was fast paced, twisty and a fun ride. My only wish is that Dawn has been made a stronger character as she often made poor decisions they seemed fairly obvious.

Really enjoyed book 4 in the Lady Astronaut series. A base on Mars has been established and the first "Martians" have moved in. Among the usual problems of working in an uninhabitable environment the members of the first Mars mission, to establish the base, are keeping a secret.

Another strong entry in this series. Gender, race, but also culture and religion, as well as body autonomy play just as much a role ⬇️⬇️

Great Black Hope introduces us to Smith, a Black queer man living a great life in NYC until he is arrested for possession in the Hamptons.

This book explores how similar situations can take different turns depending on your class and race. The author does a great job in keeping you interested in the story even though there‘s not much plot.

I love starting a new book before bed! #arc

Secret Staircase Construction‘s newest job in a specialized library is threatened when an actor for the opening event disappears & then is found dead.

Oops! This is 4th in a series! I did like it a lot! The use of the construction company, the location of a mystery themed library, so many twists & turns, & Tempest having such a great support system & relationships w/ her community. Definitely want to seek out the rest of this series!🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑

Current audiobook…I‘ve had this #arc on my Kindle forever and I‘m trying to be more proactive about reading my backlist TBR.

I remember that the previous book I‘ve tried by Levy was a DNF, so I‘m hoping to have better luck this time. (Update: Not the author I was thinking of😅)
