Welcome to Litsy!

This came in for a patron‘s hold, and I‘m hold number 22 on the list, so…I‘m reading it here at work until it‘s picked up. 🤣 (#workperks!) So many people have told me it‘s a 2025 must-read, and it‘ll fulfill my final Beanstack Bingo square, so I‘m very grateful for this chance to squeeze at least some of it in today! #thecorrespondent #virginiaevans #2025releases

What better day to return to Litsy than while en route to BookExpo!!!

I'm on my way @MrBook & friends! Hope to see you there!!🤗
If you're there & 👀 me, please say hi🙋🏻‍♀️, as I've been away for a bit & might not recognize anyone lol.

This year I plan on doing #BookExpo19 differently, much more discussion panels & WAY less standing in book signing lines!!😅

The good news- food trucks at work today so I had tacos!😋

The NOT so good news- I really wanted to like this but both the story & narrator just didn't do anything for me. Extremely flat narration, & yes I get that that's kind of Leah's 'vibe', but there was no affect in the narrator's voice at ALL.😑
Or maybe #YA contemporaries aren't my thing?🤔

Oh well.🤷🏻‍♀️

On to the next!

All alone at work this afternoon and it's SUPER quiet here sooo....

Jumping into this #Witchy treat while I've got an hour left to go before my 3day weekend starts! #TGIF 🤗

Gonna skip over 'Part One' & head straight to the sequel though. Part One (first half of book) is just a novelization of the movie - #WitchPLEASE, I just wanna get to the new story! 🧐🤪

#TGIF Littens! ?

Next up for review at work, my co-worker chose the newish #Historical novel 'Dear Mrs. Bird' while I opted for a buzz book fr last fall, 'The Immortalists.' We both wanted to pick books with "fall-like" vibes.?

I'm already a quarter of the way into mine & totally sucked in.
I love a multi-layered family novel & this one is fitting the bill quite nicely so far.?

My current view at work (we're on the 7th floor) and I think it's glorious & the perfect backdrop as I work & start listening to the latest Corman Strike installment❣🤗 #WorkPerks

I'm even looking forward to my drive home later thanks to Corman & Robin!🚦🚗🚚🚕🚛 🚓🚌😉

Processing some new #YA , #MiddleGrade & childrens book arrivals while doing some audio listening at work, making the most out of my Friday❣🤗 #TGIF

SIDENOTE: I'm super excited to read the Hocus Pocus Sequel- saving it for next month. If I can wait that long... #WitchPlease🔮😈

I get to review this beauty for work & I couldn't be happier about it❣
Started it earlier tonight & can already tell this is going to be a fabulous read.🤩 #LibrarianLife #WorkPerks

Read in an article that it took her ~7 yrs or so to write this bc she wanted to write it herself, there was no ghost writer & I'm so glad bc fr what I've read so far, she's a beautiful story teller. 💓

🤩🎧📚📚🤓📖 #YA #MentalHealth #LibrarianLife #WorkPerks #Diversity #BookishThings #BookishNews

This session on mental health in #YA was the panel I was most interested in & it did not disappoint.

5 different YA authors discussed the inspiration- most of it real life or #OwnVoices, behind their books & what they'd like to see more of in #YA in terms of mental health.

Very insightful & illuminating. 💗

Finishing up processing these new beauties while listening to this wonderful heart warming #YA audiobook-- loving it thus far & am already halfway through it! 🤩

Ugh--so many of these gems are on my #TBR (it never ends! Lol) , it's always like Christmas around here when a book order arrives❣🤗
