Welcome to Litsy!

I audio-garden just about every evening (currently living on cherry tomatoes!) This was a funny and lighthearted way to pluck some veggies! Kelsey runs a gossip podcast where she essentially tells some tales. I haven‘t listened to it but I can bet it‘s entertaining. She explores many aspects of gossip in the book including urban legends, mean girls, high school, pop culture, reality tv, celebrity gossip and more. It was ok, but not memorable.

Clever, tech‑driven YA mystery about a video that ruins reputations—even though it may be fake. High‑school rivalry, viral gossip, and shocking twists keep this page‑turner grounded in real‑world media weirdness. Compact, relevant, and suspenseful.

Maybe I need to give Hilderbrand a break. I‘m finding it a little boring the last few listens

This series is just everything. Sad to see it end. ❤️

My reading is getting quite interesting at this point of the year- novels for school, memoir for book club, and sci-fi & fantasy for relaxation! Enjoyed the tagged new release as a fan of the Normal Gossip podcast for my commute to work.

In one way this book is exactly what it says it‘s about but in another way I feel it‘s lacking &too surface level. I feel the latter has more to do w/me than the book. I didn‘t know of McKinney or her podcast previously; I was drawn to this book b/c I‘m someone who simultaneously loves &hates gossip &was hoping for some insight into our obsession w/it at a more psychological &social science level. This largely discusses celebrities &reality tv.

This one was my least favorite of the three, but that‘s like your third favorite ice cream flavor. It‘s still really good and well-written and entertaining, but there were some real extra-dramatic things from the past brought up and one fight due to Magnolia being a complete nimwit that I didn‘t love. Other than that, this was another win for me, but I‘m really looking forward to getting back to Daisy Haites and seeing what she‘s been up to.

These UK covers might just be my favorite covers of all-time 🤩
