Welcome to Litsy!

My infinity star read. This book is the equivalent of a comfy pair of pyjamas, something I slip back into whenever I'm ill or anxious or possibly both. What's not love about an asexual stoner hipster and an idiosyncratic curmudgeon living platonically ever after together? It has all the feels, laugh out loud moments, and harbours the only miscommunication trope that I've ever enjoyed. I've basically read (and reread) all of Klune's books now!

I love TJ Klune! 🖤🩶🤍💜

This was such a wonderful and heart-warming asexual/aromatic coming of age story. The characters and relationships were really well done and interesting. There was exploration of what being in a relationship meant, what love meant, and that platonic relationships can be just as valid as romantic and sexual ones.

The art style was great and I really enjoyed reading it.

Thanks to #Netgalley for the #ARC of the book

A spy novella without the usual espionage & histrionics, replacing melodrama with a chaste love story between a demisexual analyst & insoluble asexual secret agent who vanishes on a covert op, leaving an almost empty apartment & a library full of Arthurian-obsessed children in his wake. Short & wholesome, with characters that carve a forever place in your heart. With so little ace representation out there, this story will always be special to me.

Well, for once the choice was pretty easy. No explanations needed. 😅

Another short story from the Green Creek series. And I absolutely recommend reading them if you like the books. They give insight into what happens between the books and deepen the characters even more. Also, all the feels. Once again.

Bookish Song Nr. 57: Porcelain Black - One Woman Army

I went to Spotify to look for a song for Robbie and Kelly, but found Jessie instead. And her crowbar.

I'm on the battlefield, like, oh my God (oh la la)
Knockin' soldiers down like House of Cards (oh la la)
I'm a one woman army (oh la la)
Yes, I'm a one woman army
(Oh la la, oh la la, oh la la)

This story, set after Heartsong, is all the feels. Really, ALL the feels. I recommend listening to the audio version, it almost made me cry. If you're a fan of the series, don't miss out on this short story.

There are heavy spoilers for people who haven't read the books yet or only just have started the series.

I'm so glad I didn't give up this series after the first book. It just keeps getting better and better with each volume. More than once I caught myself thinking “I want to ditch whatever I'm doing now and going back to Robbie.“ I was touched and more than once I had to laugh out loud. And I especially loved the ace rep ❤

A beautiful story. Light and simple but full of sentiment. A little cozy novella for those who'd like to read something pleasant and refreshing.
