Tilt | Emma Pattee

pick

I loved this book. Annie is in an IKEA when an earthquake in the Pacific Northwest strikes. She‘s 37 weeks pregnant, miserably pregnant, and we follow her on her journey to find a loved one and home. This is broken up by chapters depicting her life leading up to this day. The whole time, she‘s talking to Bean, her unborn baby. This book was a rollercoaster of emotion for me. I was horrified, I laughed, cause Annie is funny, and I cried. Pick!👇🏼

Reggie Anybody still in the mood for a pregnant protagonist against the backdrop of disaster, in this case a pandemic, I would suggest this book. It‘s also great.

Sealed

BarbaraBB I can‘t wait to read this one! Great review 2w

Suet624 Can‘t wait to read this!! 2w

Reggie @BarbaraBB @CarolynM @Cathythoughts @Suet624 @Rissreadswithcats Annie‘s husband is an aspiring actor and her flashbacks with him can be sooo funny and infuriating. There‘s a certain scene where he monologues at a parenting class. Pure gold. lol hope ya‘ll like it. 6d

CarolynM I‘ve just voted for it for #CampLitsy2025 😊 Fingers crossed. 4d

Megabooks I looked, and I had stacked Sealed from your review! I loved Tilt, too. The tension was just so fantastic. 5h

Megabooks I‘m still thinking of the mom crawling into that school. God. That scene really got to me. 5h

Sace @Ruthiella That was such a good book! 2w

Sace @CarolynM Oh no! 2w

Sace @Megabooks You‘re welcome! 2w

Sace @Deblovestoread It sounded interesting. I don‘t know how people whittle it down to just four. I found so many upcoming books I want to read. 2w

James: A Novel | Percival Everett

#ToB25 and #LitsyToB25 have taken very different roads this year (which makes it so fun!) but in the end we all agree (at least a majority does 😉) on James as the winner of both tournaments. Percival Everett finally takes away the 🐓!

Thank you all for participating in this year‘s LitsyToB and I hope to see you next year. But before that, it won‘t be long until we‘ll be back with #CampLitsy25! Meg, Helen and I hope you‘ll join us there!

Megabooks, squirrelbrain

AmyG Thank you so very much. Camp Litsy will be here before we know it! 1mo

ChaoticMissAdventures Yay!! Thank you! This was fun to see, I know people wanted to root for underdogs but I really feel like this book deserves all of the flowers. And we all got to read some other interesting books along the way! 1mo

Suet624 Thank you so much for doing this. I really appreciate it. 1mo

Megabooks I know ladies!!! We‘ve got to start our longlist planning emails! It‘s about time to get submissions!! @squirrelbrain 1mo

GatheringBooks Looking forward to joining #CampLitsy2025! 1mo

fredthemoose Great tournament! Got me to read several books that would not have been on my radar otherwise. Thanks @BarbaraBB for organizing! 1mo

BkClubCare @sarahbarnes - For me, it is The Trees. Looking forward to reading Glyph soon. 1mo

Lesliereadsalot Chiming in with my thanks Barbara! Added lots of new books TBR! I did love James, so happy it won out. 1mo

Bookwormjillk Thanks very much! Can‘t wait for Camp Litsy and hope that next year‘s books will be a little less awesome than James so that the winners won‘t be quite so obvious. 1mo

Hooked_on_books It‘s a wonderful, worthy book and deserves accolades, but I would also like to see the love spread around a little bit. Thanks for hosting once again and all that goes along with it! 1mo

Kristy_K @BarbaraBB Thank you for organizing! I‘m glad to see James won. 1mo

squirrelbrain Yes, I was only thinking about that the other day! @Megabooks ☺️ 1mo

BarbaraBB @squirrelbrain @Megabooks Looking forward to doing this again with you two ❤️ 1mo

Megabooks @squirrelbrain @BarbaraBB already thinking about the 4 I want to nominate!! 1mo

kwmg40 I'm happy with the result and had a great time following both #ToB25 and #LitsyToB25. Thank you so much for hosting! 1mo

cariashley Woop woop, what a great year all around! I‘m happy and unsurprised with the outcome as James was probably favorite read of 2024. I still think he should have won TOB for The Trees. Thank you so much for organizing again, it‘s been so fun! 1mo

sarahbarnes @BkClubCare that‘s another great one! He really is just a phenomenal writer. 1mo

Butterfinger My first year that I read so many from the list. I enjoyed it immensely. Thank you. 1mo

BarbaraBB @Megabooks @squirrelbrain I need to dive into the booklist but I can‘t wait to do so. We‘ll email soon - I always forget when we start posting and in what order things go! Xxx 1mo

Gissy I really want to read it but I will read Huckleberry Finn first 🤷🏽‍♀️ 1mo

Megabooks Usually we start talking now and post around late April so people have time to vote and then buy winning books before June. @BarbaraBB @squirrelbrain I‘ll try to pop an email today or tomorrow. 1mo

squirrelbrain Look forward to hearing from you! @Megabooks 1mo
