Welcome to Litsy!

Shout out to my favorite books of 2017! (Not pictured: Norse Mythology by Neil Gaiman, because it's on loan, as all good books should be) What were your favorites? I need new recs for 2018! #topfive2017 #bestbooks #bestbooks2017

My last #bestoflists2017 is #voices. Lots of different ones, but all strong and clear. https://trishtalkstexts.wordpress.com/2017/12/24/lists-best-of-2017-voices/ Off to make pasta for lasagna #xmaslunch I hope everyone's next couple of days are full of joy and family. #seasonsgreeting #bestbooks2017 #trishtalkstexts

Here is my penultimate #bestoflists2017 focusing on #diversity #bestbooks2017 https://trishtalkstexts.wordpress.com/2017/12/22/lists-best-of-2017-diversity/ My last list will be #voices posted on Sunday hopefully.

My next #bestoflists2017 are my #specfic picks. https://trishtalkstexts.wordpress.com/2017/12/20/lists-best-of-2017-speculative-... #bestbooks2017 #trishtalkstexts #favs #yalit #fantasy #sciencefiction #superheroes #timetravel #spacetravel #pirates

My most tenuously linked #bestoflists2017 is now up at #trishtalkstexts https://trishtalkstexts.wordpress.com/2017/12/17/lists-best-of-2017-names/ I loved them all. #bestbooks2017 #namesinbooktitles #yaliterature

These are my other six #loveozya favourites. Secretly I like them more. https://trishtalkstexts.wordpress.com/2017/12/15/lists-best-of-2017-loveozya-mor... it's been a good year. #bestoflists2017 #bestbooks2017 #trishtalkstexts #blogging

I reduced my 34 #loveozya reads of 2017 down to 12 favs. Here are the first six. https://trishtalkstexts.wordpress.com/2017/12/13/lists-best-of-2017-loveozya-2/ Mostly I link to earlier reviews although I did write some words about Night Swimming and Ballad of a Mad Girl, two I didn't review. #bestlists2017 #bestbooks2017 #yaliterature #tristalkstexts #australian Next six will be up Friday.

Here are my favourite mystery ya for 2017. I like that there's one from January and one from November and the rest sit through the middle. https://trishtalkstexts.wordpress.com/2017/12/10/lists-best-of-2017-mystery/ #bestbooks2017 #bestoflists2017 #trishtalkstexts Next week is all about 🇦🇺

I was meant to post #mystery today but I changed my mind (in honour of the VoteYes thing that happened yesterday). https://trishtalkstexts.wordpress.com/2017/12/08/lists-best-of-2017-lgbtqia/ #bestoflists2017 #lgbtqia #bestbooks2017 #trishtalkstexts #blogging #favbooks Mystery will now be posted on Sunday.

I started with fav books for younger teens. https://trishtalkstexts.wordpress.com/2017/12/06/lists-best-of-2017-younger-read... Three #ozya one New Zealand, one US, and one UK. Fair spread. Of the 200 odd books I read this year, probably 40 of them were 2017 releases for this age group. #bestoflists #bestbooks2017 #younger #middlefiction Next up is #mystery on Friday (my time).
