Welcome to Litsy!

#bookhaul #libraryhaul
Two #blameitonlitsy, one of which is a pick from @Mitch for #nywd — The Book of Memory.

Embracing the darkening days and colder weather (first full-on snow today!) with the help of the #WinterCosy Readathon. My focus will be less screen time and more page time. December: all the holiday books with some BOTM thrown in, along with Dune and finally finishing A Suitable Boy! January: some reflective reading and #NYWD book list.

I‘m really enjoying Wholehearted Faith! I have more nonfiction on this #WeeklyForecast than any other this month. I‘m unsure whether I want to read a book about the Covid vaccine, so First Shots is iffy. I‘d love to get to one on the #ToBLonglist this week, but I‘m not sure where to start. Also excited for the Bookspin!

I have read enough graphic memoirs by now to know what I am looking for & Radtke's checks all of the boxes & more! Kristen's beloved uncle Dan dies while she's in college at the same time that she has become progressively more interested in ruins & urban exploration. What initially appeared to be a straightforward grief memoir morphs into a reflection on the power of art during times of loss & ends with some of the most powerful final pages👇

My #NYWD list from @Bookzombie. Seems like it's a great list. The Thursday Murder Club and Tender is the Flesh have been on my radar for awhile. I bought Broken a month or so ago, but haven't gotten around to reading it yet. Same with the Fifth Season. My bookclub might be reading that sometime next year though, so I'm going to save it.

Thanks again @monalyisha for organizing all of this.

I can‘t wait to dig into this #NewYearWhoDis list from @Blaire in January! About half were already on my TBR—some I don‘t even remember adding to my Goodreads TBR, so I‘m glad for the excuse to actually pick them up! I loved Ted Chiang‘s Stories of Your Life so I‘ve been wanting to read Exhalation, and I put Crying in H Mart on my Christmas list, so I may start there… but I‘ll see where my mood (and my library holds) take me in January. 😁

Thanks for this great match @monalyisha
This is the list I received from @MallenNC
The top row I own and had already planned on reading, the other books I‘d like to read over the course of 2022, especially since a bunch will work for #Booked2022
#NewYearWhoDis2022
I have read #7, 12, 13, 18 & 19 - all were good 😊

I am ridiculously excited for this list of 16 books from @vivastory for #NewYearWhoDis!

I highlighted the covers of the ones that initially caught my fancy, but this is an epic match @monalyisha thank you!

7 was on my list, and I‘ve read and enjoyed 4, 8, 11, 12, 13. I‘m rereading The Martian Chronicles because I first read it nearly 30 years ago! #FeelingOld 😂

I‘m interested in more than these five, but I wanted highlight Scott‘s great list!

I got my #NewYearWhoDis list last night, and I‘m SO READY to go all in on @Laughterhp ‘s picks! I‘ve already read one (BLACK SUN by Rebecca Roanhorse), but the others are all new to me AND available at my library. I had a lot of fun this morning requesting the ones with holds lists (and suspending those holds so I don‘t get the books until January). Now I‘ve just gotta resist immediately nabbing the ones that‘re checked in…

Following through on my promise to post a #JolabokaflodSwap wishlist! 🌲❄️📖

I‘ll likely repost, too, as I‘m just now realizing that this is *definitely* going to get buried under all of the #NewYearWhoDis match announcements when I start making those. 🙈
