Welcome to Litsy!

This is described as a “companion” to Last Night at the Telegraph Club and not really a sequel, though we do “catch up” with the characters from the first book. I liked that one better, but this is also a pick.

My #serieslove2024 list now fits in one collage, even with a book I‘d forgotten to include before and some upcoming books that now have covers. The bottom row is just UK mysteries!

Bringing in this new year with a much-anticipated book and my buddy #TomKitten next to me. I loved Melinda Lo's Last Night at the Telegraph Club and this one is a lovely companion novel, unafraid to lean into uncertainty, melancholy, and a little bit of mess as the young characters grapple with identities and relationships changing and growing. I'm a Lo fan for life now; excited to seek out her other titles!

August is here! And my #BookSpinBINGO list is ready. 📚🥰🎉

This book was quite disappointing, compared to Last Night at the Telegraph Club. I really didn‘t like that the romance was an affair. The main character wasn‘t very interesting, and all the other relationships fell flat.

I loved Last Night at the Telegraph Club, but this companion read just wasn't for me.

I wanted to know more about Aria's family and the book just barely brushed the surface. The focus is on her coming out and embracing who she is, which I love, but YA romance tends to bore me.

Just finished this today, and I really enjoyed it! Although I didn‘t like how part of the “love” story ended up playing out, I think how it all is drawn together (finding your true self, art, family, etc) at the end is really important. I loved Joan, and Analemma is too cute; there needs to be more animals in books!🐾

Brb weeping. This was so lushly written and true to life, and I LOVED the update on Lily and Kath. I wouldn't call it a romance, but it's absolutely romantic, and the growth journey Aria goes on is one of the best. #yalit

I don't think this book needed to be considered The Telegraph Club #2, but stands decades apart as it's own story/book. The updates on characters from the aforementioned as simply an Easter Egg for Malinda Lo readers.

This story is as a more modern day coming of age story set in California just as the freedom to marry who you choose is being announced and celebrated.

Interesting that it all started with Book-It program from the 1990s! My girls loved it-for reading the required # of books, they got a personal pan pizza 🍕
