Welcome to Litsy!

A peek at (part of) my physical TBR. My biggest goal for 2026 is to tackle this monster, and also to try not to buy anything on too much of a whim. (Some things, I know I‘ll buy because I have the rest of the series/have some must-buy authors/etc. But I‘m going to try not to just buy something for the sake of buying something.) So, here we are! 🤣 #mounttbr #nofilter #pleasedontjudgemeatleasttheyrestackedneatly #featuringthebobs

I read this one over the course of about three months,but finished in it March, so it qualifies as@my day 3 #12BooksOf2025.

Honourable Mention to Cold Comfort Farm.

#LittensLoveRomance with over half of the vote, we have our seasonal pick - a twist on A Christmas Carol with some ghostly adventures. I think this is a neat premise and I‘m looking forward to it. We‘ll read 3 chapters a day starting Dec 15 and we‘ll take a break on Christmas Day in case it‘s too busy to get much reading in for some of our participants. Let me know if you want to join in on my daily posts 🎄👻

Thank you for this interesting list, @DebinHawaii! I've read a few already and some, like the four on the right, you might have plucked from my TBR.

I'm looking forward to getting to them in January (and probably throughout next year).

Chimney - locked room mystery

True crime podcaster Liza and her corporate financier wife Hanna want to spend Easter in a luxury hotel in the Scottish Highlands. Hanna planned it to rescue their marriage. It soon turns into a Murder Mystery Weekend with real victims.

Very Christie-esque, with chapter headings reminiscent of Cluedo.

Cinder House (ARC) - novella, retelling of Cinderella, but only loosely connected to the fairytale, includes queer lovestory and some spice 🌶️🌶️

City of Stairs (🎧) - it's been on #MountTBR for ages

Ladies in Hating (ARC) - two Gothic novellists w/ a past, w/ current beef, but also w/ chemistry, sapphic 🌶️🌶️🌶️

#Read100

My first finished book of September, I finished this one for #FictionalTraveler #September #EnglishSpeaking & September #Roll100 #77 #AnyBOTM Overall, I enjoyed this one, although it drug in parts. The unique premise of an unmarried British woman who comes home after her friend‘s hen party to find she‘s married & her attic keeps “replacing” husbands with no end in site. Lauren made some choices I judged & thought over-the-top but ⬇️
