Welcome to Litsy!

While this didn‘t grip me as quickly or intensely as I was hoping it definitely was a full-tilt sprint to the end that had me captivated! I liked the incorporation of “mathemagics” and other ghost-adjacent world-building, and it kept me guessing until the end.

Another enjoyable entry in this series. I was delighted to meet Ross and Violet and get to know Maud and Hawthorn more in this volume. I enjoyed the first book a bit more, because the pacing was better, but I felt the character connections just as strongly and laughed out loud just as often with this. Super excited for the next book! #LGBTQIA #Fantasy

My favorite book of the year so far! A prince trying to redeem himself in the eyes of his sister, the sultan, finds himself falling for his stoic new bodyguard who initially hates him. This was such a delicious enemies to lovers slow burn. It's not an action packed book, so it may not work for everyone. Readers are just taken along for the journey. But Rowland could've kept on writing this story forever, & I would've been content to follow along.

I‘m not panning this because it‘s bad, I just wasn‘t the intended audience. Sometimes graphic memoirs reach out and touch deeply me even when they‘re wrestling with questions I‘m not, or I‘ve already answered. This one didn‘t. It was more like rambling conversations I‘ve had with friends over the years trying to sort out ourselves and our lives. Which makes the book essential if you don‘t know people actually asking these questions when you are.

I wanted to like this book, but I was bored and just couldn't stay focused on it. I loved the symbolism it brought in and the journey of self-discovery the character went on, but it wasn't enough to make me enjoy the story.

A nice collection about all sorts of existential and global crises. You have to not worry about if you accept the worldview to enjoy it, because it‘s ideological.

It‘s cool in terms of the forms used…inspirational really. I could feel Choi pushing herself to come up with new ways of writing.

It also has a great balance between experimental and more accessible. Way to go!

THIS WAS ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE. not only was it a GREAT horror read, it followed an autistic trans lead character, was all about trans and womens rights and just had me engaged every step of the way. The plot twists weren‘t incredibly surprising but they were satisfying. I ripped through this one!!!!

Very much enjoying this queer romance set in Liverpool. It‘s also a story of friendship and ADHD (dealt with separately). Out in 🇦🇮 in July. #preview #julyrso2024 #lgbtqia #readingandreviewing

I actually just finished this YA Victorian horror novel and it perfectly fits today‘s #springskies prompt since the main protagonist is a transmasc autistic teen. #neurodivergent
This was really well done if brutal and touches on so many very modern issues that the historical setting only helped to highlight. I‘ve been on a YA-avoidance kick lately, but I‘m happy the cover of this one made me dive in anyway.

Loved this contemporary romance. The story is sweet and hot. The audiobook was excellent.
