Welcome to Litsy!

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

I greatly enjoyed this return to the holiday worlds, this time following Kris as he tries to solve the problem of magic theft. This enemies-to-lovers romance is just as hilarious, charming, and sexy as the first book, and is definitely joining Nightmare Before Kissmas as a top favorite for the year. #LGBTQIA #Holiday #Romance

A young lesbian is cast out of her home when she is outed at college. Throughout this book we see this charismatic woman figure out how to make it on her own as she navigates financial and interpersonal challenges. I wouldn't say I enjoy classic literature, but ever now and then I do strive to read it. #LGBTQIA #ClassicLit

A collection of humorous comic strips following two (and then more) friends in their messy lives and queer experiences. The characters are heartfelt, and I enjoyed seeing their relationships grow. This style of comic never really resonates with me, so I can't speak to whether it will resonate with readers. #LGBTQIA #Humor #Comics

I own so much of Emezi‘s work, I find it fascinating they can switch so seamlessly between genres.

I really enjoyed this one, it‘s about the seedy underbelly of New Lagos - so much sex and violence. It‘s definitely not for everyone but after reading the SA Crosby for #camplitsy and loving it, I think I have to admit to myself that I enjoy reading violent books 😂

Switches between characters for each chapter so you get different POVs.

A collection of poetry, prose, and essays from the amazing nature writer Mary Oliver.

More than anything else, Oliver‘s writing has this ability to make me stop and just breathe. The consideration and care she gives to even the tiniest of moments, the fluttering of a bird‘s wings, rustling of leaves in the wind, is phenomenal. I just want to sink into her poems. 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌗

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Forgot to put up a review for this! Such an informative and interesting graphic novel about 10 queer people who inspired them. I didn‘t know of most of them and it was great to learn some more queer history and understand the author‘s gender journey.

Written by a friend of a friend (who I don‘t know at all!) and was definitely worth a read.

I read a few books, Two #1001Books. Fresh Dirt from the Grave was mostly set in #Bolivia for #FoodandLit. It and Voyager are #WomeninTranslation. Patsy worked for #LGBTQIA2025 bingo and Three books were for #192025. Martyr! was just because I had been recommend it so many times.

Missing one but here‘s my progress on fable for August!
