Welcome to Litsy!

This was a fun mystery. I liked going along for the ride with Oliver and Ricky as they veer from their travel writing to solve an unexpected murder. Oliver is autistic and uncomfortable with changing plans, but he builds confidence in himself with Ricky's help. The two try to get to the bottom of the disturbances of a self-driving car company without getting into trouble themselves.
Great start of a new cozy mystery series #SeriesLove2025

I absolutely adored this book! Such a tender story about grief and family expectations, finding your place in life and love. I enjoyed learning more about Jewish customs surrounding death & funerals. As much as I was rooting for the romance between Ezra and Jonathan, I was also totally invested in the Friedman family's journey with forgiveness. While Ezra can see ghosts, this is less of a ghost story and more a contemplation of healing after death

I don't normally read dark romance but I love this author's other works and I ended up really enjoying this! This was a stalker romance between two men who had previously hooked up. Reed is house-sitting at a fancy rich person home and Dax arrives to rob it. When he realizes who the sitter is, Dax decides to call him to scare him off. But things turn a bit kinky... In the end there was even more intrigue and an 'eat the rich' mentality I liked

Interesting short story set in a dystopian future. People sometimes randomly transform into demons, but when Shrike's wife is changed she is determined to stop the knight sent to kill her. Very twisted fairy tale vibes

This is a fun modern reimagining of Sleepy Hollow. It was a bit silly, in a good way, with curses and evil magic to defeat. And a talking pumpkin head of course. I loved the main trio of friends, they each brought something to the group.

I liked the concept of this small town full of magical creatures, where a witch conjures the spirit of her ex-girlfriend and needs to move on romantically in order for the ghost to move on. The love interest is new in town and adapts to the knowledge of the paranormal rather quickly. My main issue was that the characterization of the two women was too similar. Even switching POVs it was hard to remember whose head you were in

I really enjoyed this paranormal mystery. It was spookier than I expected but I liked the magical aspects. The relationship between Whyborne and Griffin was well developed and I look forward to continuing the series.

A super cute, colorful, dynamic graphic novel! Sébastien just moved to magical Paris to pursue his magical training. He meets the vampire Elia, an overworked model, and after a charged first interaction they hit it off as friends. Séb is demisexual & hilariously oblivious to all flirting attempts. They both are anxious beans who worry about whether the other actually wants to be friends. It's super relatable. I loved all the side characters too

Lewis does some interesting storytelling in this graphic memoir. I like the way he represents his anxiety, and uses the man points and character selection to convey his dysphoria. Moving through your late teens early 20s while also transitioning can definitely be complicated and I'm glad he shares his story here. #LGBTQIA #Nonfiction #Comics

Things are finally settling down for Adam when his formerly dead sister in law arrives on their doorstep. Adam will have to investigate a larger conspiracy while balancing actual communication w/ his boyfriend.

What a great Halloween read! Solid growth for Adam & the strong continuity I expect from this series. Side characters did fade into the background a bit, & there were a lot of references to a side novel which might be confusing.🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑
