Welcome to Litsy!

I am starting my list of books I know will be coming out in 2025!!!

Joining in! Not bad considering I didn‘t read much until 2012 and have a severe recency bias.

Really surprised there were none by Maggie O‘Farrell or Lauren Groff or many other authors. Too many by Saunders and Ward. They‘re both fantastic authors, but I feel like they should‘ve chosen no more than one from each author for a wider variety. 🤷🏻‍♀️🤔

I didn‘t keep track of the exact number, but I also have at least 10 more books from the NYT list sitting in my TBR shelves. Now I want to find and read them so I can re-do this checklist. 😄

Thanks to the #Bookerprize, the #ToB and the #1001books list I‘ve read a lot of them yet I do think it‘s too America focused. I do love American fiction, but I‘d expected a more international list.

One of the four lectures I am doing here in Bandung, Indonesia. What a privilege to be able to travel to different parts of the world to talk about my favourite things. The effusive and warm welcome is quite unforgettable.

Sitting outside while it's still possible without burning to a crisp. Putting together my "check list" for the upcoming month. Lots of books starting with L. I'm hoping the #ClassicLSFBC and the #LittensLoveRomance pick will start with an L too. ?

Does anyone else cancel because they will never read all the botm books on their shelves… then want 5 books the next month?????

You know when you're sick and nothing feels like a good read. I have started and stopped 3 books the last few days. 13 books loaded on my Litsy right now. I wanted a cozy read but now I'm not sure.
