Welcome to Litsy!

I am a huge StoryGraph fan, as I know a lot of Litsy is. Are you? If so here is the link for the #AuthorAMonth StoryGraph challenge, which is a fun way to track your reading as well as seeing books other readers have chosen for each prompt. Enjoy!

Finally posting my November stats

Eight books read last month, four were chunksters: two with 500+ pages and two with 400+ pages! Litsy challenges:

Curiosity Shop for #whattheDickens
Democracy for #authoramonth
Happy Isles for #Samoa and the remaining 5 for #Algeria for #foodandlit

Reading the tagged book for #SundayBuddyRead and the J.D. Robb (aka Nora Roberts) for #AuthorAMonth this chilly weekend.

Who knew Nora Roberts wrote fantasy?

I admit to feeling reserved about the very mainstream authors who have entire shelves of their books at the library and I can expect to have to reshelve at least one or two of them every week during my volunteer shift. So I wasn‘t anticipating liking a NR book, and I was trepidatious when she was chosen for #AuthorAMonth.

I didn‘t mind this. It has some cliche fantasy moments, but a low pick for me. ⬇️

It‘s time to update my #AuthorAMonth tag list for next year. This helps me clear out folks who are no longer interested and add new people who are. I am making an entirely new list, all you need to do to be on it is comment below.

What is #AuthorAMonth? It‘s a reading challenge in which we attempt to read at least one book from a particular author each month. The list of authors was nominated and elected by Litsy readers.

November was a good reading month for me with 15 books read & 2 started-but sadly, not much progress with my Women Who Run with the Wolves reread.🩶🐺

I finished books for #SundayBuddyRead #ChildrensClassicRead2025 #NancyDrewBR
#BobWhiteBuddies #EBBR #RiseUpReads #MonthlyNonFiction #ThematicCozies #FictionalTraveler #Roll100 (3) #AuthorAMonth &SeriesLove2025

A good mix of books, favorites were Living With Picasso, The Serviceberry & Aftertaste

I enjoyed the unique voice of the main character, but the book is such a slog otherwise. Very little suspense, no sparks with the love interest, and it's so obvious where it's going.

I may just be over N.R. since this is my second DNF. I'm hoping I can find a good Julia Whelan reading for this #AuthorAMonth but they don't seem findable at the library, except one on playaway.

I‘m really excited about my #AuldLangSpine list from @julesG ! There was just one book I had already read & loved (AWGTMI ⭐️) & a few on my TBR but several new to me titles, which I always love!

Pictured are are the first 6 I‘m starting with, beginning with the tagged book I was already planning on reading in January for #AuthorAMonth & I Know How This Ends because I loved Cassandra in Reverse.

Mahalo @monalyisha for another great match!

Grief. Loss. Sadness. Drugs. Alcohol. Madness. Hollywood. All the crazy haze of the late 1960s. Wow… this was a lot.

My November choice for #AuthorAMonth. So glad I have finally read something by Joan Didion, but not sure I‘m eager to read more. Time will tell. She really plays with your head.
