Welcome to Litsy!

While trying to avoid attention, Tao stumbles into an adventuring party‘s quest and builds a found family along the way. This is charming and funny, with sweet characters. A low pick because it just reads like someone‘s D&D campaign with slightly flat characters and underdeveloped side characters and elements of the story. #Fantasy #FortuneTelling #Cozy

Leo and Grim begrudgingly go on a quest together to remove a curse that binds them together. This was such an incredibly fun read! Adventure around every turn of the page. I wound up reading through the climax twice before finishing the book to take it all in again. #LGBTQIA #MusicMagic #Fantasy

This volume of jaye simpson‘s poems is turbulent, capturing the hard and soft edges of being trans, woman, and indigenous. The collection is intriguing, varied in form, and interesting to read. I‘m glad I picked it up. #Poetry #LGBTQIA

Having read all the books in the Inspector Gamache series that have been written so far, it was interesting to go back to the beginning and revisit the characters as they were introduced to us the first time.

This entry in the Watch series satirizes war and is notable for its development of Sam Vimes, one of Discworld's best characters. I also enjoyed the presence of the Dis-organizer, the annoying personal organizer powered by an imp.

I greatly enjoyed this return to the holiday worlds, this time following Kris as he tries to solve the problem of magic theft. This enemies-to-lovers romance is just as hilarious, charming, and sexy as the first book, and is definitely joining Nightmare Before Kissmas as a top favorite for the year. #LGBTQIA #Holiday #Romance

A collection of humorous comic strips following two (and then more) friends in their messy lives and queer experiences. The characters are heartfelt, and I enjoyed seeing their relationships grow. This style of comic never really resonates with me, so I can't speak to whether it will resonate with readers. #LGBTQIA #Humor #Comics

Such a good read! The characters are delightful, the trio's friendship spawns plenty of laugh-out-loud moments, and the world is very fun. Maybe it's just that I love stories with holiday worlds and magic, especially magic born from joy. This will definitely be a top read of the year for me. #LGBTQIA #Holidays

Tony does an amazing job of balancing humor and serious topics in this middle grade graphic memoir. His character introductions and friends are hilarious, and he doesn't back down from the bullying and racism he faced or the resulting mental health struggles. It was great watching him build his support network and their efforts to save the school too. Do read the content warnings. #MiddleSchool #BIPOC #Nerds

Linus and Arthur‘s family continues to grow and strengthen in the face of oppression. This was just as corny, playful, sweet, laugh-out-loud, and heartwarming as the first book. The afterward was beautiful and made me cry a bit for various reasons. #LGBTQIA #Adoption
