Welcome to Litsy!

Such a thrilling conclusion to this dystopian duology. The avatars of New York have come into their powers, but the threat looming above Staten Island still needs to be defeated. The enemy has infiltrated the city in new & insidious ways, promoting harsh political division & hate that is scarily reminiscent of our current society. Despite (or maybe bc of) the disturbing parallels, the story is one of hope & standing together against a common enemy

Another slew of rereads; I can't believe this isn't available most places anymore.

Fantastic world building (half-alive guy who works for the dead), and gorgeous writing. This book has one of my favorite “throw-away scenes“ ever, a girl & her grandfather playing Uno in the background, it could be taken away with no loss to the story, but it's just delightful and tells you about the neighborhood.

The eight-year-old giggles every time her abuelo picks up a card. ... The old man fusses with his mustache, furrows his brow, and then picks a card. And then another. “Chingada madre,” he mutters as the laughter continues unabated across the table. “Mierda.” Finally, he puts down one with a sigh and the girl gets real serious, scrunches up her face, and draws a card, then slams it down, yells, “Uno!” again, and resumes laughing.

A million thanks to @merelybookish for tipping me off to the existence of this book. Such a cozy read that made me feel nostalgic for college and provided a temporary escape from reality. If only ghosts and lit courses were my biggest concerns these days. 😁 I‘m likely going to read this again at some point.

Finished listening to Legendborn last night. This is the 1st book in the Legendborn Cycle series by Tracy Deonn.

Brilliant reimagination of the classic King Arthur legend through current college secret societies.

Here is my list for #castthedie @PuddleJumper My lucky book will be the tagged. I‘ll be honest I might read all of these, but the first one(s) I read will be the die rolls. 🥰

Continued reading through this series.

Not much though about them as they don‘t have much going on but they keep my attention in the moment and they don‘t take long to get through.

Caitlyn heads to the village of Tillyhenge to find out about her origins, despite a recent murder there. All she knows of her history is that her adoptive mother found her on the roadside. She finds a room at the chocolate shop and quickly makes herself at home and searching for the murderer. 4🌟… witchy cozy mystery with other paranormal characters.
