Happy New Year, kittens! January 1st is always my second favorite day of the year (after Daylight Savings in the fall when we turn the clocks back, because we get an extra hour to read.) I love starting a new reading spreadsheet and seeing how many books I can read for the year. I am wishing so hard that we all have an easier year this year. Now enough mushy stuff—it‘s time to read my first book of 2021! What is your first read of 2021? ❤️📚⭐️
Me: Ughh, I can‘t decide what to read next. I guess I‘ll look at Edelweiss one last time before I pick a new book.
Also me: EEEEEEEEEEEE NEW STEPHEN GRAHAM JONES!!!!! (It‘s out August 31.) 🖤🤍🖤
I‘m dipping into a few more 2020 releases this weekend, and I‘m kinda regretting getting hitched a couple months ago, because I would like to marry this book. Seriously, I can‘t even handle how good it is! I had heard that it was amazing a zillion times and it lives up to the hype. 🤩😭😍
You would not be wrong in assuming that books get knocked onto the floor in my house quite frequently. This time it was Farrokh, aka Freddie Purrcury. But it‘s hard to stay mad when he looks so cute. 🐈📚
.
Related: This book was amazing, like a queer Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell. It comes out November 2, 2021 - mark it down now! (There‘s no entry for it on Litsy yet but you can find a description on Goodreads.🙂)
In December, I don‘t have to read any new titles for episodes of All the Books! because we do wrap-up and preview shows, so it‘s kind of a free reading pass month for me. I usually use the time to get ahead on reading for the next year‘s episodes, but this weekend I am going to spend it revisiting some of my favorites from 2020. What are you reading this weekend? 📚❤️📚

🎉IT‘S NEW BOOK DAY!🎉 My supply of physical ARCs is almost completely depleted, not only because of the pandemic, but because since I read books for a living, it‘s fastest and easiest for me to read electronic copies. But there are several books out today I wanted to highlight and celebrate, so I made this image. Congratulations to all the authors publishing books today and YAY BOOKS! What are you excited to read? 📚❤️📚
Kicking off my afternoon reading with the upcoming novel from the amazing Megan Abbott. I could not be more excited if I swallowed a cat and broke out in kittens! It‘s out June 1, 2021, and I can‘t wait to see the cover when it‘s revealed! 📚❤️📚
🎉IT‘S NEW BOOK DAY!🎉 I‘ve been reading e-galleys almost entirely during the pandemic, so my reserves of physical ARCs are dwindling but there are indeed many more amazing books out today!

A sunny Sunday afternoon in my office with Zevon and Farrokh. I‘m reading The Redshirt by Corey Sobel. They‘re reading nothing, because cats can‘t read. 🐈🐈📚

HOLY CATS do I love BOOKS. I mean, I always love books, but some days I feel so extra about them that I just want to make a big pile of books and roll around on them like a dog in the grass. Books are everything. 📚❤️📚
📫Book mail! My latest round of books purchased from indie bookstores arrived today, just in time for the last few days of my summer vacation. (WHAT IS TIME.)

pickIt‘s time for another recommendation for incredible 2021 releases, so go get your TBR list. I‘ll wait here.
Okay, ready? This book ripped the top of my head off! It‘s another one that I immediately read again as soon as I finished it. I‘m pretty sure it‘s already my favorite book of next year. It‘s so freaking brilliant, and I want everyone to read it. 👑❤️👑
I AM SO IN LOVE WITH THIS BOOK. After I read it, I immediately started it over and read it again - that‘s how good it is. 🤩 It‘s a centuries-long story of an immortal young woman doomed by the Devil to be forgotten, and her experiences of love and loss over 300 years. It‘s exciting, funny, sexy, and magical. This is an enchanting book that will help you lose yourself and let the world fall away. It‘s out October 6th and you will love it. ✨🖤💫
The National Book Awards longest is out and, holy cats, what an AMAZING group of books! 🎉 I have read more of the nominees this year than any year before.

pickThis book knocked my brain‘s socks off! @jessicaesquire said “It‘s like if Chaim Potok wrote The Secret History.” And I said, “GIMME.” Y‘all know how much I love The Secret History. And while there have been many books compared to it, this is the first I believe WORTHY. It is a brilliant bildungsroman about a young Jewish man who is moved from ultra-Orthodox Brooklyn to a wealthy Miami suburb. The novel is absolute genius. MARK THIS ONE DOWN NOW.

PIRANESI IS ONLY FOUR WEEKS AWAY!!! Personally, I think the less you know about it, the better. If you‘re looking for another JONATHAN STRANGE AND MR. NORRELL, put that out of your mind now. They are both fantastic - and fantastical - but that‘s basically where the comparisons stop. And from the very first page, you have to be willing to go along with what is happening and trust that Clarke will get you where you need to be in the end. 🖤🤎🤍
🎉IT‘S NEW BOOK DAY!🎉 I spent the whole day driving around in the White Mountains playing heavy metal at an unreasonable volume, but I am home now and it‘s time for books!

📚 BOOK MAIL📚 DO NOT ADJUST YOUR SCREENS. This is really real! I literally dropped everything just now so I can read it. (Okay, I tripped bringing in the groceries and the bags broke, but it totally counts, because I really dropped everything. 😂) BUT HOW EXCITING IS THIS?!?

It‘s time for my favorite part of reorganizing: alphabetizing! I have been looking forward to this all week because I think alphabetizing is an epic nerdpurr. I organize my books alphabetically by title, and the last time I did this, it took me about 16 hours to add new titles to my library. This time I am adding fewer books, so maybe I‘ll be done by midnight, lol. TL;DR: YAY, BOOKS! 📚❤️📚

Weekend plans: Time to straighten my library! It has been 18 months since I culled 2600 books from my home, and since then, about 1600 have come in but I haven‘t organized them, so now there are stacks and stacks everywhere. But I ate my spinach this morning and I‘m ready to rumble. *cracks knuckles* 📚❤️📚

I have spent my lovely Maine weekend relaxing in my hammock, reading great books and staring at our rhododendron, which I think always loses its blossoms too soon. Yesterday I read The Southern Book Club‘s Guide to Slaying Vampires by Grady Hendrix, which I thought was great fun. It gave me (old) Fright Night vibes. Now I‘m going to read these, which I just noticed have kinda similar covers. What are you reading today? 🌹📚🍑
It‘s the first of the month - that means it‘s time for new Book of the Month selections! My judge pick this month is A GOOD MARRIAGE by Kimberly McCreight. She weaves tantalizing threads of murder, scandal, and secrets, teasing them out perfectly until the explosive conclusion, when she pulls them all tight around your brain like a corset! I hella enjoyed this one.
