Welcome to Litsy!

Finally starting this one! I‘ve had it forever!

I definitely picked this Pride & Prejudice retelling with a trans protagonist up because of a review by @peanutnine . I wasn't sure if I'd like it because I hated Pride & Prejudice, but I loved it. The characters are delightful, and I found the major events of the story satisfying and entertaining. Did I cry during the office scene? A little. #LGBTQIA #Retelling

Just playing some PowerWash Simulator (washing a haunted house) while listening to this lovely book about tarot cards.

Comfort read. Hot drinks, baked goods, and people becoming more than they once were.

* Viv sighed. “I‘ve lived a long time knowing I‘m a threat walking. I‘d rather that wasn‘t the shape of it for you.” *

“Their keeper Mr. Gramzay noticed the two penguins and thought to himself, 'They must be in love.“

This is a perfect book for teaching young children concepts of acceptance, inclusion, and love. A very beautiful book that would be amazing for young readers.

This is such a cute and inclusive book for young children. Some may find it controversial, however it shows such a cute meaning of love. Beautiful book that I forward to using in my classroom.

An eye-opening and vulnerable sharing of the author‘s coming-out story as non-binary, in a culture that still is largely fixated on people identifying as one gender or the other, even if they are LGBT. I particularly appreciated the author‘s emergence reflected in varying responses of friends and family and ongoing fear of coming out and how to articulate it. I could also appreciate the extreme pain of a Pap test! #Nonfiction2024 #NotAllBoys

Oh, this was seriously good! It's a powerful story on a subject I don't recall reading about before. I very much enjoyed the characterisation of Isabel and Eva and, oh my, the tension generated throughout as it becomes clear what is actually going on here. Actually I think it would have been my personal #bookerprize winner, were it not for the generous amount of 🌶️ , which i just don't like.

Another one I listened to over the summer. I love GUPs adventures with his niece & nephew. This time he‘s helping them prepare for their dad getting remarried. The audio is narrated by the author.
