This is beautiful but incredibly heartbreaking so far. #currentlyreading #catsoflitsy #lgbt #pride

A little post-birthday surprise from my Dad who knows how bored I am in lockdown. #currentlyreading #catsoflitsy #mythology

More creepiness and entertainment during quarantine #catsoflitsy #currentlyreading #manga #horror #junjiito #graphicnovel

Spooky short story time with the Ginge to keep me company #currentlyreading #catsoflitsy #manga #horror #coverart

Finally getting around to some reading again since we're in lockdown. Wishing everyone good health, both mental and physical 📖😻 #currentlyreading #catsoflitsy #graphicnovel #artwork #clivebarker

Lunch break at work and I'm really enjoying this book so far. There certainly aren't any filler chapters in sight, all action. #currentlyreading #covercrush #thriller #scifi #catsoflitsy #books

This book has already hooked me! #currentlyreading #catsoflitsy #thriller

Although I didn't enjoy this anywhere near as much as Foe, this novella kept my attention (for the most part) and actually gave me some pretty funky dreams. I'm curious to see how the Netflix movie turns out! #justfinished #horror #review

Boxing day mood #catsoflitsy #christmas #covercrush #horror #graphicnovel #currentlyreading

Merry Christmas fellow bookworms! Opened this bad boy earlier, can't wait to get started on all my books. #Christmas #covercrush #lovecraft

A bit late with the Halloween reads, but Halloween is all year round, right? Having devoured the rest of the series, it seems a bit strange to end with a young Hannibal, but for a while I thought I'd mislaid this book. Finally ready to revisit the ultimate prince of darkness! #currentlyreading #catsoflitsy #cats #horrorfiction #spooky #covercrush

This book did not disappoint. The highs and lows of the Marsh family were beautifully constructed. Looking forward to the newest film adaptation 🎬 #currentlyreading #justfinished #classics #fiction

This book was gorgeous in so many ways. The characters were fully fleshed out and incredibly multi-dimentional. There were a couple of typos/changes in font size here and there, but then again, I've never read an indie book before, and the pure human joy of this novel makes up for all that! #justfinished #lgbt #lgbtfiction #peterpan #fiction #queerfiction

Really enjoying this one so far. The characters are familiar yet completely reimagined, and the story is utterly engrossing. I can't wait to see what Peter and Hook will get up to next, though I dare say I'm more intrigued by Ernest as an OC 😏 #currentlyreading #catsoflitsy #covercrush #peterpan #peterdarling #fiction #lgbt

This was strange, very uncomfortable at times, but overall a fascinating read. Dystopian fiction at it's best! #catsoflitsy #justfinished #atwood #fiction #dystopian

Only 100 pages left to go and I'm still no clearer on where this story is going, but I'm enjoying the trip. Meanwhile the Ginge isn't too impressed 😾 #catsoflitsy #currentlyreading

I've been following Tess's misfortunes whilst at work, and I've got to say, I didn't expect this book to be so utterly depressing! Having said that, I was in the mood for some 19th century romanticism, and this ticked most of those boxes for me. I just wish all the toil had been for something 😕

Now back to some cheerful dystopian fiction!

“I don't know about ghosts,“ she was saying; “but I do know that our souls can be made to go outside our bodies when we are alive.“ (p.132)

Appropriately spooky! #currentlyreading

I won these two novellas after taking part in a Horror Fic open mic this weekend 💀 Can't wait to get stuck in! #halloween #spooky #horror #scarathlon

Me and the Ginge are really enjoying this so far. With speculative fiction I've always loved the slow unraveling of a backstory, which Atwood delivers 😻 #atwood #cats #catsoflitsy #covercrush #scifi #hardback #currentlyreading

This was such an enjoyable read, surprisingly cute and heartfelt but with typically eerie Junji Ito drawings. The bonus manga at the end broke my heart though 💔 #junjiito #justfinished #manga #cats #catsoflitsy #review

Another beautiful cover. This book was gifted to me by a good friend last week and I'm a little bit in love #covercrush #scifi #green #atwood #postapocalyptic

#throwback to when my Ginge was only a few months old and already helping me do research for my dissertation. I've always been fascinated by the Trickster archetype, and apparently so was the Ginge 😸 #catsoflitsy #studying #tbt #books #literature #theory #cats

Me and the Ginge are enjoying this little manga immensely. Only a few chapters in and I've already given myself cramps from laughing. Junji and his fiance are so sweet, and Ji just wants the kitties to love him! #currentlyreading #catsoflitsy #manga #junjiito #illustrations

Ready to get stuck into the story. I loved Sabriel and Touchstone's relationship in the first novel, so I'm really excited to see where life has taken them. The epilogue was extra spooky (just the way I like it). #currentlyreading #garthnix #covercrush #fiction #fantasy #lirael #catsoflitsy

Finished Sabriel last month, so I thought I'd keep the saga going :) #covercrush #cover #fantasy #garthnix #fiction #book #lirael #currentlyreading

“There's a strange man upstairs with my wife while I'm down here, washing dishes with one arm.“

It's safe to say I'm really enjoying this book, even though I don't quite know what's coming next 😻

One day I will read you cover to cover - but today is not that day 😂 #covercrush #poe #edgarallanpoe #poetry #fiction #horror #cover #art #countdowntohalloween

Although the ginge looks bored, I can assure you, I'm really intrigued by this novel so far. The opening chapters have been cloaked in mystery, and I'm not sure who to trust (unreliable narrator? unreliable everybody??) Excited to find out whether Junior will leave or not... #cats #catsoflitsy #foe #novel #currentlyreading #review #fiction

Absolutely superb! Finished this book a few months ago and I still can't shake it. The tension was palpable and each of the characters were both lovable and detestable in their owns ways. If you're a lover of Shakespeare or just the dramatic arts in general, you will adore this! 5/5 😻 #shakespeare #angst #ifwewerevillains #fiction #drama #lgbt #lgbtfiction #cats #ginger #catsoflitsy #toppicks

My friend recommended this book to me after I bugged him about the fact that I just can't seem to “get into“ Fantasy. He knows I'm more of a horror fan, and seeing as Sabriel's job is to banish the dead, this book seemed like a good way to ease me into the genre. Nix's writing also has a YA feel to it, so it was easy to get through. Overall I found myself falling for the characters, and I'm curious to see what this series has in store 4/5 😻
