Welcome to Litsy!

I read 4 chapters in 30 days because I had to force myself to read this. The discomfort isn't worth the effort. This is just not for me. Since I tried this for #withthebanned, I will say that just because it doesn't work for me doesn't mean it doesn't have value for others. Book bans are stupid.

November #BookSpin #DoubleSpin list

It‘s hard to get into reading Shakespeare. My 9th grader is reading this next semester, so I dragged myself through the 92 pages. I‘ll have to watch a movie or go see the play…

A haunting novelization of an equally haunting film. It read really well, really visually, with great narrative tension and beautifully drawn characters. The pages breathe with magic and mystery, and the overshadowing dark of humanity‘s evil is palpable. A really good read, if a sad one, and great for this time of year. Peeved that the film isn‘t streaming anywhere in Canada atm.

Another round of book cover scavenger hunt for #HauntedShelf #BlackCatCrew!

📚Bad Blood: AI/CGI
📚The Graveyard Book: graves
📚Practical Rules for Cursed Witches: cozy
📚Shopping All the Way to the Woods: trees
📚City of Laughter: eyes
📚A Raisin in the Sun: real people

Hopefully the goal wasn‘t to use only autumn and spooky themed books 🤭

Mao Mao possibly finding a bestie matching her weird energy is everything right now 😂

I saw the most incredible adaptation of Hamlet last night. I had no idea that I was buying tickets to a wordless ballet, but I was pleasantly surprised. I'm struggling to describe the genius of Guillaume Cote and his company, and I fear I won't do it justice if I try. Just know that I've never been so sucked into a performance that I didn't want to risk looking away even for a moment. I'm very grateful that they decided to come through our town.

I wound up missing a volume or two because of the confusing way this manga is structured, and it really showed up in this volume because I missed some important character introductions 😆 otherwise, another excellent volume. I liked the way we lean about Taichi‘s past in-chapter instead of in a chapter all its own. #LGBTQIA #Disabled #Manga

Chilling.

My favorite Shakespearean play has my favorite Three Witches. They are deliciously evil.
“Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn and caldron bubble.
Fillet of a fenny snake,
In the caldron boil and bake;
Eye of newt and toe of frog,
Wool of bat and tongue of dog,
Adder's fork and blind-worm's sting,
Lizard's leg and howlet's wing,
For a charm of powerful trouble,
Like a hell-broth boil and bubble.“ 🖤🧹🖤
