Welcome to Litsy!

Well my books finally came in. It was around 5:30PM and I was already in my pajamas (jammie time comes early in my house). I didn‘t feel like getting dressed to walk across the street to the mail box so my participation in the #GNreadathon is limited to today only.

I like that these two books are color coordinated.

Edit: this is a #blameitonlitsy book haul 😂

Coffee tawk? yes please! feel free to chat here or on original post- or both! or Start your own thread!

I‘m in NYC with the protagonist, Bea as she ensnares rich blue blood Collin Chase. This is a #blameitonLitsy choice. Bea is a con artist, but the reader also roots for her. It‘s complicated.

A #BlameItOnLitsy for which I very much thank Litsy! Loved this sweet middle-grade graphic novel about figuring out how to grow up without losing your essential self. It's also casually #queer. Extra points for making me cry. 😂

#blameitonlitsy After @bookwyrm7's post, I spent about 15 minutes looking into Chuck Tingle. His schtick seemed clever, but I'm not one for erotica. Then I saw that he also has written ace-positive stories! Gleefully meta, you can't help but smile at the blunt affirmations and blatant cracks at the expense of our culture of compulsory sexuality. I'm not sure his erotica would interest me much, but I'll definitely be checking out more from him.

#blameitonlitsy I listened to this based on @Chelsea.Poole review a while back. It was a really interesting look at the experiences and politics of the blind community from someone who has a degenerative condition. I appreciated learning from the perspective of someone who will soon no longer be an outsider and who is trying to figure out his place in a complicated social structure, while presenting the information in an unbiased way.

#SchoolSpirit Day 3: #Professor - I wouldn‘t call myself a fan of Mathematics, although I do appreciate its logic and precision. This novel, however, brought to light its awe-inspiring quality with its intricate web of patterns that is revealed only to a select few who would take the time to really pay attention to it. There is remarkable restraint here and a childlike delight at the beauty of the universe. My review: https://wp.me/pDlzr-nIW

Happy to #BlameItOnLitsy. This is a collection of mostly frothy but occasionally pointed poems, one for each day of the year, based on random facts. (Or sometimes rather important ones.) Puns, homages and allusions abound. It's funny and often silly, but genuine concerns also come through.
