Welcome to Litsy!

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

#BookishMonopoly

I have a bit of a book hangover after So Thirsty and Clown in a Cornfield 3 before that.
I want to stay in the spooky season but I don‘t want slasher or black comedy right now.
Which of these two would you suggest?
Or go completely rogue and suggest a good spooky read.

My first #readyourkindle pick this month was not what I expected- I thought it was going to be more of a fantasy but it seemed more of a mystery. No real supernatural elements. The best part was the setting of the Cloisters. I did not like our FMCs either. This one definitely fell a little short. ⭐️⭐️⭐️

4 Stars • The Castle of Crossed Destinies by Italo Calvino (published in Italian in 1973) where characters, unable to speak, use tarot cards to tell their stories. The novel explores themes of fate, chance, and storytelling through the symbolism of tarot, challenging traditional narrative structures by suggesting stories are like cards, reshuffled and reinterpreted endlessly. ⬇️

I really like this series. I hope it doesn't lose its momentum. This second book in the series had a few twists that surprised me.

I especially like the not-exactly-4th-wall-breaks, when a character asks a question about the plot/motives that a reader might ask.

This series is going to become an all time favourite because it really does have it all - action, banter, long buried secrets on the verge of resurfacing, a glorious found family of people trying very hard to do their best after the world hasn‘t been very kind.

This book starts off with Rune and Co trying to work out how to get Max out of his (unwanted) marriage contract to the Hanged Man & things escalate from there.

@thegirlwiththelibrarybag I'd have finished by now if it wasn't for sentences like "That's how it usually goes for Brand and I."

Gaaaaah!!! Pulls me out of the story every time.

But I'm getting there.

Thank you the #Two4Tuesday tag @TheSpineView & @MaleficentBookDragon 🤗

1️⃣ I have lots of favorite museums but The Cloisters in New York City holds a special place in my heart even though I have only visited it once. The setting, structure, gardens, galleries & even the restaurant, just draw me in.

2️⃣ This book was a light pick for me based on the atmospheric Cloisters setting.
