Welcome to Litsy!

Here are the #BlindDateWithABook reveal!

I book I got for myself (on the right) is my my TBRrrrr!
Though, I‘ll pass on reading it now for another time when I have the opportunity to appreciate it.

Post 2 of 2

I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it.

#ABookADay2025

It has some interesting material on the society created in a part of Madagascar by European pirates and Malagasy natives. The local population had a lot of mixture of which the pirates were the latest. However, it suffers from a lack of sources and flaws within them. However it reads like an incomplete essay and relies on a great deal of surmise. The author sets out a proposition which he is ultimately unable to sustain.

#ReadYourKindle list for February 2024

Can‘t wait to see what numbers are selected to read for next month!

My goal again is to read one from the list.

My library doesn't have this ... My reasoning for buying

Final Fiction #ReadingBracket2024
This was such a tough decision, I read so many amazing books this year!

Completed by 2024 reading bracket, and Running Close to the Wind by Alexandra Rowland was my top read of 2024.

Thank you, @catiewithac , for this perfect #JolabokaflodSwap24 gift! I have been wanting to read this book for ages. ❤️💚❤️ And two types of chocolate & peanut butter candy.... how will I ever decide which to open first? 😂

@MaleficentBookDragon Thank you for hosting this very fun swap again this year! 🎄❤️🎄

I finished my 7th #10BeforeTheEnd

And it might be my last.... I have picked up Intermezzo and Ours a couple of times to read a chapter or 2 and then have put them down and walked away.

I am reading some fantastic books not on this list. We will see where the next week and a half leads us, but I am finding it hard to resist the pull of new shinny things, and also the library books that need to go back.

Maybe I can get to flamingo next week....

3.5 low pick. I read parts of this on audio, which I do recommend I thought they did a great job with muffling and inflexion, it was entertaining.
Overall there is this odd place this book falls for me. It felt a bit juvenile but also the topics were clearly adult. Something there just didn't work for me. I also found it much too long, I skimmed the last 50 pages.
