Welcome to Litsy!

Daughter: I want to dress as Crowley for my birthday.
Me: Well, in that case...

I couldn't stretch to a Jane Austen ball, so I made her an afternoon tea.

(Should I be concerned that I accidentally have the elements of an Aziraphale outfit in my wardrobe? 🤣)

Dear Mr Gaiman,
No, no, no, no, no! You, my good sir, have some serious redeeming to do.
Sincerely,
Distressed from Gloucestershire

In other words, we've watched the Season 2 finale. 😭

How did I not know about this until today?!? 🤯 OMG!

It‘s a kickstarter by The Terry Pratchett Estate & Neil Gaiman. It ends on 31 August. I‘m so glad I learned about it before the end of the month.

If anyone else is interested:

Reading fanfic while waiting for the movie to start at Digital Gym Cinema in San Diego. I‘m gonna miss this place #sandiegosummer

I just finished up the second season of Good Omens. 😭😭

Now I must wait? Please tell me a third season is in the works!

Such delightfully creative writing and the chemistry between the actors is wonderful.

Excellent, as always #sandiegosummer

Book at the Japanese Tea Garden. #sandiegosummer

Good NYT article on Gaiman's adult books. I still haven't read anything by him! https://www.nytimes.com/article/neil-gaiman-books.html

This book was so good! It was by far the funniest book I‘ve read all year. I loved all the stories about the Horsemen featuring what they‘d been doing while waiting for Armageddon. I‘ve never read a book that gave even the tiniest of background characters backstories. 5🌟

I guess I could have picked a tag that spelled Taiwan's name right and included Pratchett, but oh well. This book always gets laughs out of me.

I loved this show, which I saw before I read the novel. And I am so glad a book club decided to pick this as the #May book pick. This was my fav in 2022

This is just not my type of book. It reminded me a lot of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. I am not a fan of dry humor. This book would be great for someone who enjoys that type of book, it is just not me. There are many rave reviews and great comments. If you are a fan of Hitchhiker's Guide or Dogma, you will likely love this one as well.

Day 12 of #scarathlondailyprompts is grave. Early in the story, one of the MCs meets up with two others at a grave to exchange a valuable item.
I just did a buddy read with a sweet friend. We both really enjoyed this one with its dry humor.

So Audible had another 2 for 1 credit sale & I picked up 4 books. It ends tonight. In mere minutes.

I have Good Omens. A different version. I still chose the full cast edition. 🤨

2 books are completing 2 series & one will help me purge so I can buy more books 😆

It was very clever about the end of the world and the Antichrist being misplaced, etc., but I had a hard time getting into it. I think I would have liked it better 20 years ago or so, when I was more in a mood for it. I'm not quite as much into fantasy / humor now. Series on TV may be good though. I still recommend it for those who like early Neil Gaiman and basic Pratchett.

Yeah, you could say I've got a lot going on.

Re-reading good omens because I have not read it in this nice edition (but highlighting favourite quotes in the epub...)

Finished this one today while running errands. I loved this book. It was super cute. I am looking forward to re-visiting the Prime show (I remember I absolutely loved it) - Pick of Carwash :)

A real change-up compared to what I‘ve been reading, this book is just… fun. Shockingly anticlimactic for a book about the apocalypse, but in a doesn‘t-take-itself-too-seriously kind of way. A nice blend of biblical doom and comedic absurdity. Takes a bit of prior knowledge about England and the Bible, but its generally accessible I think, (and the footnotes certainly helped lol!)

I'm also starting this book. Stopped by a local library and they did not have available
a Jemisin book I wanted so I picked up this one. I like Pratchett and Gaiman so it might be good. Did not see any of the series.

This month's pick for #NovelWatchingCrew (#NWC)
I am really looking forward to re-watching the show :) I loved it the first time. I am using this as my #AudioCommute / #AudioChore book :)

#WrapUp for March

📚 7 total reads for the month.
Enjoy all of them! Last month of pure pleasure reading.

From April I'll have to start-up my studies again and read a few more compulsory books that the fun ones.
But I am to track them as well...
I mean I am reading, just not necessarily what I wish to read.

David Tennant narrates his part in this♡♡♡

Listening to this as I can‘t sleep

If you haven‘t tried this book yet, I advise you give it a try. It‘s long, but we‘ll worth all the stories it tells. It focuses on the end days and pokes fun at ideals that have been built up. An amazing book. ❤️ #2022reads

I‘m giving this read a 3.9⭐️ but in truth as being very generous. I love Neil Gaiman… He is creative, dark, funny and very imaginative. All of these qualities were present in this book, so in that regard it wasn‘t lacking. However, there were so many times that I actually found myself bored can dreading having to go on. Overall the book wasn‘t bad but it wasn‘t great and it kind of left me disappointed. This was also my second #roll100

Happy Birthday @wanderinglynn

I love recommending books and try to match a person's personality, but these are some that get brought up again and again, in no particular order:

📚 Good Omens
📚 Neverwhere
📚 Recursion
📚 Lamb
📚 Skyward
📚 The Way of Kings
📚 Flowers for Algernon
📚 The Princess Bride
📚 The Little Prince

Honorable mention: Under the Whispering Door -- recent read, so hasn't been recommended much, but it will be.

Guess I should start this month‘s book club book (and coincidentally my #bookspin book) since book club is Thursday and I‘m hosting!

So many to choose from, but this one gets my vote.

#WitchyWednesday #Haunted

I'm still working on this one. Gunna listen to alittle before I fall asleep. I hope it's not too quick cuz I got clothes in the washer. Haha

@ElizaMarie @AsYouWish @jb72

A librarian gave me a bit of a chuckle yesterday when she complimented my “pretty fairy” badges 😜 I took the opportunity to recommend the show (since these guys are based on the opening credits) and got recommended Katla in return. I love when conversations turn into impromptu book and tv recommendations!

I listened to the audio and was confused by so many characters and voices, though it is witty and amusing. I‘ve started watching the series, which makes thing clearer for a visual learner like me. These 2 are amazing ☝️ #god #conflictedworlds @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

Feeling alittle weird since u can actually see my pics (usually hate my picture taken). Getting ready for bed while still listening to Good Omens. Enjoying it.

How is everyone doing tonight?

Doing alittle bit of coloring while I listen to the tagged book. Really enjoying it. I might have to rewatch the show after I'm done.

@ElizaMarie @AsYouWish @jb72

Listening while I try to get the weekly check-ins done and up before midnight.

This one is just so hauntingly beautiful... I had to share. 💜💜💜

@ElizaMarie @AsYouWish @jb72

What do u think she is thinking about??? Is she going to rip ur head off if u interrupt her reading 1 more time??? Haha

#conflictedworlds #death

Death is a character in all of these!

This audio production is excellent! I‘d forgotten how witty and funny the characters are - so personably quirky. 😄 I am anxious for season 2 of the tv adaptation!!!

I finished my Good Omens reread. This is time seven or eight, I think. GO is my feel-good book; but for the first time, I didn‘t love it. The gay jokes really bothered me (more so than in the past; I didn‘t realize how pervasive they are) and the fat jokes, too. Also, I didn‘t love the adaptation when I watched it last summer and it colored my reading.

Now I‘m sad.
