Welcome to Litsy!

I‘ve been out of town, so I‘m just getting around to planning out my month of reading.

#Bookspin #Doublespin

This book is amazing. I loved it. I stole it off a list made by @TheBookHippie (who gives the best recs) sometime last year. This definitely gets my recommendation as well.

I liked this first Poirot novel enough that #christiescapers made my final #weeklyfavorite for January but I didn't love it. Red herrings everywhere, and so much talking it almost felt like a play, but an impressive 1st novel! My favorite reads this month are all from the #tob2025 longlist (one from the shortlist) so I'm happy to see it is still capable of introducing me to new authors to watch.
Lots of books in January! And a #bookspinbingo! 🔽

A trip down memory lane for #doublespin enjoying my reread of my favourite series asked around 7-8. Love all the descriptions of the food they get to eat I remember being really jealous of all the weird picnics 🤣

Enjoyable when not feeling at my best!

I didn't like my #BookSpin or #DoubleSpin books this month, but I picked this one from my February bookspin stack, and it looks promising so far!

My #DoubleSpin for February was nice to read, but there were no mindset-shifting insights like I heard so many other readers have had. I did notice that there is another book with the same title but by Margaret Smith, and even the covers look similar so I wonder if I read the wrong book and everyone in the Minimalism community was raving about the other one? At least it's #OffMyShelf.

#BookSpin - 4 - Non-Fiction
#DoubleSpin - 10 - Contemporary Fiction

I've bailed on both my #BookSpin and #DoubleSpin books for this month already. @TheAromaofBooks

I'd started both of them before and put them back on the shelf for another time. This time, I'm not putting them back on the bookshelf. I really wanted to like them, but alas it was not to be. #hailthebail

Rebecca the #booksnake is sporting 10 stripes now (I actually frogged her and started her body over and am much happier). This is everything I read in January.

My neglected Kindle got a turn with January‘s #doublespin - I thought this got off to a great start, a pitch perfect modern urban fairytale. Then it became a more pedestrian story of the early days of parenthood. Just when I thought it was about to lose me, the dark fairytale came back with a vengeance. LaValle peels back modern day New York to reveal timeless evil with a few plot twists I wasn‘t expecting. Glad I persevered for this unique read!
