Welcome to Litsy!

Two manga artists who love each other‘s work strike up a fake dating relationship for no reason? (There was a reason, I just can‘t remember because it wasn‘t compelling). This manga is just ok. It‘s cute, and will probably be great for the right reader. I was not very invested in the characters‘ relationship until pretty late in this volume, which wasn‘t enough to make me want to read the next one. #manga #Artist #LGBTQIA

A wild dash through two-spirit and indigiqueer speculative fiction. I enjoyed exploring these writers‘ world experiences, hopes, and fears through this collection. The stories are dire, making this a difficult read at times. #LGBTQIA #Indigenous #ShortStories

#GottaCatchemAll September check in! It‘s a bit early because start of October is going to be manic

It‘s getting down to those harder prompts. If you are looking for recommendations, comment below. I‘ve got 13 prompts left; I‘m hoping to get a good chunk of them done before December

Don't forget the special spooky bingo board for October, link in comments

I don't get the hype. The translation was clunky, & it's repetitive & overexplained. Every single story involves women sacrificing themselves and their own lives & interests for others.

I guess that's what I get for breaking my guideline by reading a male author who doesn't come very highly recced by people I trust. And for reading SF by a non-SF author.

It did fill the swap shelf prompt in #urc2025 #URC though! @Faranae

The nights are becoming longer, darker, and filled with a still eeriness. Ghost type Pokémon have been increasing, this is your chance to catch one of the elusive spooky Pokémon this October with #GottaCatchemAll

You can catch them by reading books that fit the prompts. Either a book per prompt or multiple books per prompt, it is up to you

There are several versions of the bingo board in the GDrive, link in comments

While trying to avoid attention, Tao stumbles into an adventuring party‘s quest and builds a found family along the way. This is charming and funny, with sweet characters. A low pick because it just reads like someone‘s D&D campaign with slightly flat characters and underdeveloped side characters and elements of the story. #Fantasy #FortuneTelling #Cozy

Leo and Grim begrudgingly go on a quest together to remove a curse that binds them together. This was such an incredibly fun read! Adventure around every turn of the page. I wound up reading through the climax twice before finishing the book to take it all in again. #LGBTQIA #MusicMagic #Fantasy

This volume of jaye simpson‘s poems is turbulent, capturing the hard and soft edges of being trans, woman, and indigenous. The collection is intriguing, varied in form, and interesting to read. I‘m glad I picked it up. #Poetry #LGBTQIA

Having read all the books in the Inspector Gamache series that have been written so far, it was interesting to go back to the beginning and revisit the characters as they were introduced to us the first time.

This entry in the Watch series satirizes war and is notable for its development of Sam Vimes, one of Discworld's best characters. I also enjoyed the presence of the Dis-organizer, the annoying personal organizer powered by an imp.
