Welcome to Litsy!

In the third story in Things Have Gotten Worse, a man finds a #Bone in his backyard. This starts him on a weird encounter with his neighbor.

The most #Wicked individuals aren't characters in fiction books, and Cannibal Killers contains acts of true wickedness.

The Pumpkin Queen makes a discovery about the #Dead leaves inside her.

In Outcast the real #Evil isn't what you think.

I picked this up to have a short, quick read for #bannedbooksweek. Reading it, I have no idea why it was ever banned or challenged, unless it‘s because it‘s so bad.

Randy and I have agreed to listen to each others' song picks, so I'm tempted to choose really dreadful ones...

If any of you haven't heard Be Still by The Killers, stop what you are doing, lie down somewhere quiet and really listen to it 💙

I must have been reading Bone books since I was in high school, and they don't stop being cute, nor do the Rat Creatures stop being funny in their stupidity. Not super fond of lady bones having hair and some backstory feels a little forced but overall, cute and entertaining.
Bonus cat!

This book continues the story and plot really well connecting the last book and maybe the next book. In this book we get to see a lot more of phony bone and near the middle and end we get to see the leaf bug again. This books basic info(small spoilers) is we learn more about thorn being a princess, the protectors of the great red dragon, a war starts, and many new things happen in the village.

Thought of you @vivastory I'm currently reading the Bone books with my son. In this scene, Smiley suggests Fone Bone read (his beloved) Moby Dick aloud to put their predators to sleep. 😁 And it works.
I read this series with my older son and am now re-reading it with my younger. And I've enjoyed it both times! It's quite funny.

Today‘s goal: finish my BONE reread! I don‘t love the series the way I did fifteen years ago, it I do like it an awful lot.

I aim to make this Boxing Day a big ol‘ reading day, starting with more BONE. This series has such a great mix of wackiness and epic sweep.

Plot twist: my dad‘s got Omicron symptoms, so the last Christmassy thing that wasn‘t already cancelled just got cancelled. Also, I‘ve gotta lay low for a bit because he‘s my close contact and the testing sites are so clogged up they‘re asking anybody under 40 to just not come unless it‘s serious.

So here I am, drinking a Micro Burst Hazy IPA from Banded Creek Brewing in the middle of the day while I read another volume of BONE. 🤷‍♀️
