Welcome to Litsy!

There was certainly an amount of skimming, but I did finish this in the end. I like Chapman's enthusiasm, but... astrophysics isn't for me, and I found her digressions a bit annoying/sometimes overly cutesy. I don't need an extended metaphor about making Christmas Dinner to understand that launching a new space telescope presents serious challenges.

And that was my #BookSpin!

My #BookSpin isn't in Litsy's database, but I started listening to it today after I got home from the Renaissance Festival. I'm not really looking forward to my #DoubleSpin but I want to catch up with #LosersClub.

#bookspin I love the witches - such great satire, and actually some really thought provoking moments. It feels bittersweet to be closing in on the final Discworld book…

July #bookspin pick completed. At nearly 500 pages it took a minute to get through as it covers books 1-5 in the Weetzie Bat series. This was a popular series back in the 90‘s & it was one of the first YA books to have LGBTQ characters & to talk about AIDS. As a middle aged woman I am not the target audience and it‘s a bit too hippy dippy for me now but I would have adored it if I read it years ago. I love the LA setting. Home sweet home.

Since I've been struggling so much lately (including struggling to post my list on time!), I considered skipping this month's #bookspin. But even if I don't finish it (or come close to finishing it), it's a small monthly routine that typically brings me joy. So here we go with September's list!

My #bookspin bingo card for September!

This book started off so strong and I was loving it, then the “reveal” happened and I didn‘t love it. What the “reveal” was felt so out of character for Percy. It didn‘t work for me. I want to keep this spoiler free so all I will say is what Percy did just wasn‘t consistent with how she acted all throughout the book.

I truly loved this series! A good balance of sweet and spicy! Kinda sad that there won‘t be any more Lovelight books, at least according to the internet.

#bookspinbingo - this is my #bookspin for this month!

#DNF #July ##BookSpin

I gotta be true to myself - I can‘t read this. It‘s this 1900s murders that just were boring poisons and doesn‘t get enough into the dynamics to make me care about their stories enough. I don‘t want to read this
