Welcome to Litsy!

This was so much fun. I'm always intrigued by what it's like to work with books from perspectives other than mine (as a public librarian), and this was so flippin' charming. I'm not being condescending, it was simply lovely. Highly recommend.

Thanks to #wwnorton for the #arc.

Kick the Latch feels like trading stories over beers at a dive bar with the tough old bird I‘ve always wanted to be. Despite my mother‘s best efforts I never was a horse girl, but this book made me catch a little fomo for life on the backstretch. #wwnorton #newdirections #kathrynscanland #kickthelatch

Man Conner Habib‘s debut is something. Almost done, so far SO good. #wwnorton #connerhabib #hawkmountain #literarythriller #yikes

Keeping me up late. Little Foxes Took Up Matches is a really compelling blend of classic Russian literary flavor, fairytale and contemporary queer coming of age story. I have about a third more to go. But I‘m really rooting for little Mitya.

(Thanks for the ARC, #WWNorton!) I hadn't heard of Dr. Koven's essay with the same title before reading this, but I'm glad I gave it a chance anyways. The chapters were almost like individual essays, which made it easy to read in chunks, and the writing - including the medical terms! - was accessible and engaging. I definitely recommend this for a good look at imposter syndrome and how the culture of medicine has changed. #memoir
