Welcome to Litsy!

73 The Traitor Baru Cormorant
The #Roll100 Challenge this year has really helped me get to some of those SFF books that have been long on my TBR! 👍🚀

58 The Library Book
I‘ve never read any Susan Orleans and this book feels like a good entry point . 👍📚

26 TO BE DECIDED John Irving title
I‘m torn between rereading or working toward completing his body of work and picking something I‘ve not yet read, like the tagged. 👍❓

What are you all reading?

Colonel Chris Hadfield reflects on his life and training that led to him becoming a highly skilled and successful astronaut.

Absolutely fascinating look into all that goes into astronaut training combined with sweet brief glimpses of his family life as well. And yet, somehow, was incredibly dry to read. Interesting, and probably would be better as an audiobook.🌕🌕🌕🌑🌑

Another #roll100 and November #doublespin. This was a tough read for me…felt sluggish right up to the last 100 pages…perhaps I wasn‘t reading carefully enough…I struggled to follow.

#roll100 Creepy AF. This was a slow burn for me but I DEVOURED the back half and it really creeped me out, would make an interesting film or series IMO

I never got to my October recap nor have I finished all my October reviews but I wanted to get this posted finally. Finished 16 books & a short story, started one more & got further in Women Who Run With the Wolves (I‘m still way behind).

I finished books for #SundayBuddyRead #ChildrensClasdicRead2025 #NancyDrewBR #BobWhiteBuddies #EBBR

The simple concept in this ghostly novel - getting stuck in a liminal space between life and death - was evoked in such perfect, creepy detail that it kept me engaged even as the plot crawled along slowly for the first 2/3 of the novel. It reminded me of those days where everything feels a little surreal and dreamlike for reasons that are hard to describe. Not the outright scary Halloween read I was hoping for, but great atmosphere and characters.

Fun read. Enjoyed being introduced to Auntie Poldi and her family.
