Welcome to Litsy!

Hoping to finish St. Pat‘s on St. Barts by the 31st for #TitlesandTunes.
The others will probably fall in June since I have several buddy reads and I‘m reading The Fixer with my daughter for Junes #TitlesandTunes.

Made a little field trip yesterday to the indie book store that‘s about 40 minutes away from me & decided to grab this one for #CampLitsy23 June. (I already have Bandit Queens on Kindle.) They had one copy so it was kismet & I picked up a cute tote bag & bookmarks.

I listened to my current audiobook on the drive & stopped at a few other places including my favorite natural food store for their vegetarian hot food bar for lunch, so a great day!🌺

We‘ve got some beautiful EARLY lilies in this week‘s #BookReport thanks to the warm weather in February!

The tagged graphic memoir was my favorite book this week. Malaka looks back on her childhood visits to her dad and stepmom in Egypt and how their relationship evolved. Fancy Bear was an incredibly interesting look into the world of 5 noteworthy hacking incidents that show their evolution. Stone Angel was lovely @vivastory ! Thanks for ⬇️

I‘ve switched it up almost entirely for my June #bookspin and #bookspinbingo. I put in all of my #14booksin14weeks and some of the #camplitsy23 books so I can fail at three things at once. 🤣🤣🤣 I also put in a couple of books people have asked to borrow/have in hopes it gets me to read them quickly and get them out of my house. @TheAromaofBooks

#weeklyforecast I have no interest in the #camplitsy23 choices, and library wait times are so long I have to buy them, which irritates me, but #FOMO wins for now 🤦🏻‍♀️😂. I only read Nightmare Man in the middle of the day when it is sunny, and since we‘ve had rain for days, it‘s slow going. Up next: I won a copy of book 4 of Monster Slaying, so I am listening to the first 3 to catch up, plus 2 library holds I‘ll pick up this week.

I know it‘s early for #camplitsy23 but I wanted to read some before seeing her talk tonight!

I finished my first #CampLitsy23 read and I really liked it. It was much darker than I thought. I especially enjoyed the Indian setting, such as Phoolan Devi‘s story and the parts about the Dalits. I also liked the dynamics between the women, their conversations and wittiness. Plenty to discuss next week!

Once I got into it I found the story entertaining, but I'm uncomfortable about cheering on murderers & also, although it is important to cast light on the issues, about the representation of Indian society as told by an expat for consumption by westerners. Plenty to discuss at camp! #CampLitsy23 @BarbaraBB @Megabooks @squirrelbrain

I‘ve marked the first section we‘ll discuss for #camplitsy23 but I‘m worried I won‘t be able to stop reading because it‘s soooo good! I‘ll try to save the second section but I may just have to find out what happens to these characters!

I might‘ve gone a little crazy at the library yesterday looking for some holiday weekend reading material! I have the tagged and Homebodies from the #CampLitsy23 longlist, a couple of graphic memoirs, a Le Guin for June #AuthorAMonth, and three others just because!

Can anyone tell me why it is that I always forget my tote on days I checkout more than 4 books?? 🤣
