Welcome to Litsy!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Extended family vacations can literally be hell! 😆 Haunted house stories aren‘t always my thing, but this one had an amazing Italian setting, really interesting family dynamics, and a serious creep factor. It was so cinematic - I could see the book play in my mind like a movie. My brain immediately cast The White Lotus actors as these characters, with the brilliant Aubrey Plaza as Anna.

Starting this fantasy mystery today. #aardvarkbookclub

Not the best week but it‘s Friday & there were plenty of moments of joy sprinkled in. Here‘s my #5JoysFriday list:

1. My #BOTM & #AardvarkBookClub boxes came in & I‘m especially excited to start Abby Jimenez‘s new book!

2. Had to attend a benefits strategy meeting😵but they bought us breakfast & I found great joy in my smoked pork belly loco moco.😋

3. The smell of my mango coconut lotion🧴

4. “Found” 2 boxes of Girl Scout cookies I hid ⬇️

Anna felt malice wrap around her, sharp as an itchy sweater now, that awful grating feeling, chalk on her fingers, eyebrow hairs being tweezed too quickly, the music they play when you‘re on hold for customer support.

Being single is like playing the lottery. Most of the time all you‘re left with from that trip to the convenience store is a bag of chips and a six-pack. But then there‘s always the chance. There‘s always the chance, however slim, that with one piece of paper you could win it all.

I am so excited for #CampLitsy24 I had such a great time last year & really enjoyed the 6 books we read! 📚🏕️

Here are my 4 nominations for this year. I confess, they are all from my 2024 #BOTM & #AardvarkBookClub boxes & I need the push 😉 but I think they‘ll be good for discussion!

If you haven‘t done CampLitsy before, check out @BarbaraBB ‘s post for details. The books are great & the hosts are amazing! Barbara, @Megabooks & @squirrelbrain
