Welcome to Litsy!

Voted! The long list is full of fantastic sounding books, so many new to me titles. I can‘t wait to see what we will be reading. Don‘t forget to vote by May 9. Link is on @BarbaraBB #CampLitsy25 post.

My votes for #CampLitsy25. I‘m excited to see the finalists!
I had the loveliest day yesterday! I went through the longlist with my long morning coffee. I thought I had a plan as to how I would vote but I ended up going with my heart in the end. Very on brand for me, I suppose. Then, I went to get my nails done and then went to two indie bookstores for Independent Bookstore Day! I bought three books but I really had to restrain myself! #CIBD2025

WELL.

That was a joyful chore! 😅 I‘ve placed my votes for #CampLitsy25. I chose the titles I thought would lead to the most productive discussions — or, in the case of Sky Daddy, the one(s) I didn‘t want to be alone with. 😜

Thanks for hosting, @BarbaraBB @Megabooks & @squirrelbrain !

#WeeklyForecast 18/25

I am in the middle of The Mangan Inheritance which I am loving. Next will be the tagged title for the #InternationalBooker and I also want to read My Documents, that @TrishB nominated for #CampLitsy25 and caught my eye in the bookshop the day after!

Wow, wow, WOW. How does Cosby do it? I‘ve loved every book of his, and I‘ve now read them all (here‘s hoping King of Ashes gets picked for #camplitsy25 🤞🏻). But this one is my favorite, hands down. Masterful, chilling, thought provoking. Loved it. @CSeydel I finally got to it - your “bonus” book from #ALSpine 👏🏻 #readyourkindle

UPDATED WITH THE RIGHT LONGLIST‼️
It's time to vote! The #CampLitsy25 longlist is looong again but it will be so hard to choose from the amazing books that you‘ve nominated.

@squirrelbrain @Megabooks @BarbaraBB Here‘s my suggestions for the #camplitsy25 poll. Really looking forward to this summer‘s picks! Thanks so much for organizing. X

This was such a fun coffee table book!

This book is just like the title suggests, good movies as old books. Essentially, movies turned into vintage book covers. The term “good movies” is subjective. The author states in his introduction, “These are films that made me laugh, cry, think, question, and celebrate” (pg. 7).
