Welcome to Litsy!

You may recognise the top middle picture from my pic the other day! These pictures are near where we are staying.

Venice by Jiro Tanaguchi is a book of watercolours of Venice. It is billed as a "graphic novel" but I wouldn't really call it a story. It's more of an art book with narrative aspects.

Flipping through trying to work out which bits we'd seen was fun (e.g. my friend: "that's the bridge where you started complaining your feet hurt").

My pick for the #TBRTarot prompt for May, which was choose a book written by a male author. Junji Ito is the master of body horror graphic novels/manga.

little library haul.

loving the witch hat atelier books!

The storyline is fairly simple (basically the main character is in search of a boyfriend), but I didn‘t mind. Less is more in this case.

As for the characters, I really liked the love interest, Eiji. He was so sweet and protective towards the main character.

The best part of this book was definitely the art style. It was so dreamy.

All Sakamoto wanted was a nice family day at the amusement park but with a bounty on his head and him trying to hide it from the family, well it's easier said than done.
Another action packed volume that also had me laughing. How could I not, when after a heated match, he loses like more than half of his body weight and somehow manages to gain it back the next day 😂

Whole series read! At the time I started this series the belief a computer would never be able to compete with a human go player was solid. There is a documentary film out about the AI that did defeat a master. It was release @ 2018. Worth seeing.

Such a lap cat while I read, lately! 😻😂💖 #CatsOfLitsy

I went straight from breakfast to the Children‘s Hospital Book Market, where I knocked four things off my wishlist! Alas, nobody donated anything by Charles Stross or Kay Kenyon (my two big book hunt targets at the mo), but I was glad to give the sick kids some money and fill out my personal Skip Beat! library at the same time.

Omg what a great volume and a very Anya-centric one as the opening story started with her getting her puppy as a reward from the last volume.
And what a puppy. He's larger than her, fluffy, and a protective cinnamon roll and I love him.
This good boy protected Anya throughout the entire volume, risking himself from all the dangers that kept coming and without spoiling too much got into himself adopted by the Forgers 🥰
