Welcome to Litsy!

This book in the genre of #MagicRealism has stayed strongly in memory since I read it more than 6 years ago.

Thank you to the Litten who put this book on my radar. I couldn't put it down. I loved how she wove together the stories with the history of organ transplants. I knew how it all ended, but I still held my breath once everything was put in motion. So many moving parts that had to be orchestrated perfectly. What a way to kick off my nonfiction goals in the new year.

Thank you so much @TheEllieMo for hosting this! I enjoyed seeing others‘ book choices- oh, no! #blameitonlitsy

I finally wrote up my 2026 #Roll100 list. I‘m happy with the selection for January.

📕The Garden will work for #TBRTarot (recommended by Litsy)

📗The Fortune of War will work for #SeriesLove2026 (though I have yet to post that 🙊).

📘Black Narcissus is a physical book I own -always a goal to get them read!

My favorite stat every year is the number of new authors I‘ve read. So many #BlameitonLitsy choices as well as #TournamentofBooks and #WomensPrize.

First book of 2026!
I am halfway through this book and already know it is going to be a Pick. The characters are the best part…the ones who heal, and need healing.

Happy New Year!! 🥳📚

StoryGraph 2025 wrap-up! My first book of the year was an #AuldLangSpine pick from @Librarybelle and my last book of the year was another #blameitonLitsy book. 😁 I‘m especially proud of #DoorstopKristin, my longest book of the year, buddy read with the #KLBR crew.

So many of these books were because of Littens ❤️ buddy reads and random posts and off I go reading with the cool kids. Thank you everyone for inspiring and supporting my book addiction

Happy New Year, friends! I made this prompt specifically for anyone doing #ALSpine, and really for anyone who has a book on their radar because of another Litten‘s recommendation (I have tons!). TBH it‘s mostly selfish and I didn‘t randomly pick it - but I hope it will work for you guys as well 😁😅😂

These books are in no particular order- This was fun to reflect back on such good reads!
