Welcome to Litsy!

My #WeeklyForecast for all of December. Ambitious. But I do have some time off coming up. The top row is all books I'm committed to: #doublespin (@TheAromaofBooks) #OokBOokClub (@JulesG) #IRLBookClub #NYRBBookClub (@vivastory) #ARC #bookspin.
The second row is mostly #LibraryLottery but I'd also like to try and fit in a couple for #cloakanddaggerchristmas (@merelybookish) and some #inprogress.

We'll see where things end up I guess!

Mickey is an expendable. Meaning, he's kind of immortal. Also, he's the one who has to do the dangerous jobs in the beachhead colony.

When the 7th instalment doesn't die, but an 8th version has already been generated; colonists die; the local fauna starts being really aggressive;...

Half way through the #ARC and really enjoying it.

Good reading month. Got in 9 books for #nonfictionNovember and am slowly working down my mountain of #ARC s

🧡📚📚📚

I really liked this. It's not exactly a retelling of The Cherry Orchard but there are similarities. This is about a group of friends living in and around Moscow during the 80's. And it's kind of beautiful and sort of heartbreaking. I don't want to give anything away.

This novel is completely banana pants and I‘m totally here for it. The narrator arrives in the subdivision where the story unravels like a puzzle (glaringly, a jigsaw puzzle serves as a recurring metaphor). The story proceeds down false hallways and reveals both clues and red herrings about what is going on here. Weird and wonderful. #Netgalley #arc #audiobook

A romance dealing with anxiety, PTSD, therapy sessions, and re-living trauma. This could get to be real heavy but there‘s still a bit of levity in Bet On It. Aja and Walker are falling in lust because they are unable to admit the other L word to each other but somehow they do feel comfortable sharing their experiences with anxiety and childhood trauma. The bedroom door is wide open in this romance. Cute and entertaining.

Ok, another quick update!
Swallowed Man: really cool concept, but just weirdly boring at places. Very intriguing at others.. ⭐️⭐️⭐️

😵☕️: easy to read, but infuriating. ⭐️ @BethM I was going to send to you when I finished… do you want to try it? Some people do like it….

Lost 🧪: great. All kinds of flaws, but enjoyable anyway. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The GN: pretty & intriguing!

Got the baking book as an #ARC! #earlyreviewers

Listening to Velvet on audio!

I couldn't stop reading this. It's historical fiction but also a love story. Rose answers an ad in the paper on her birthday basically because her life is at a loose end. She becomes the nanny of a 4yo boy and the plan is to take him to his family in Australia and it's the middle of WWII, so complicated.

This book is ridiculously fun. A reality show heads to an island in Washington state. Think Bachelor, not Survivor. And things begin to go very wrong.
