Welcome to Litsy!

My favorite book of April- and the year so far-- is definitely A Taste of Gold and Iron. I didn't even have to think about it. Hope I read something equally good in May. #ReadingBracket2024 @CSeydel

THIS BOOK STARTS OUT FRICKIN ADORABLE WITH THE CHARACTERS BOUNCING OFF EACH OTHER ABOUT CHEESE AND FASHION AND DOGS AND FRIENDSHIP, AND THEN IT GETS HEARTBREAKING WITH BRIE PROCESSING FEELINGS AND IDEAS HER SOCIETY HAS TOLD HER ARE IMPOSSIBLE, AND THE ART IS SO GREAT, AND THE WORLD IS SO COOL, AND I LOVED IT SO DAMNED MUCH I WANNA SCREAM ABOUT IT ALL DAY. 5 STARS. #gaymay

Reminds me of one of my favourite book couples, Gus and Casey 🖤🩶🤍💜.

It was ok but I just didn‘t really connect to it much. I like reading about past events even if they are fictional. (Not that WW2 was by any means fictional). But I didn‘t really get this one

1. It‘s not springtime without crazy up & down weather.

2. The tagged along with its companion, A Psalm for the Wild-Built

What a surprise - not. No explanations needed, I guess😄

Some really great books this month.

I think the In Memoriam is pretty much perfection, I checked it out from the library originally, but have ordered a copy from Blackwells (I like the UK cover better than the US one)

Ordinary Human Failings, In Defence of the Act, and And Then She Fell were some of my top Women's Prize for Fiction books this year (along with Brotherless Night from last month)

I also really enjoyed How To Say Babylon.
