Welcome to Litsy!

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

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Sequel to « what would happen if a wormhole opened in an IKEA? » novella Finna by Nino Cipri.

I love speculative fiction and this two book series is a great example of it. The humour is dry and dark. And there‘s some action in each of the novellas.

Very entertaining and a quick read.

The Phoenix Keeper, by S.A. Maclean (2024)
⭐️⭐️⭐️

Premise: A young zoologist specializing in the conservation of magical creatures and living with severe anxiety must learn to cope with human and not just animal interaction when her zoo has the opportunity to revive its dormant phoenix breeding program. ⬇️

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

I like volume 2 even more than volume 1! We get a deeper look into the family personalities and discover a second secret ally. I really enjoyed the horror game chapter 😂 The mom also had a lot of moments of reflection and growth as she noticed happenings in the world around her and realized ways they might impact her son. #LGBTQIA #Manga #Motherhood

An adorable manga about a mom quietly being an ally for her less-than-subtle son who she suspects is gay. I enjoyed the high levels of fluff in this first volume. #LGBTQIA #Motherhood

Stevenson‘s yearly reflection web comic shines a lens on dysphoria, feeling like an imposter, and taking a mental health rollercoaster. I enjoyed the art style and thoughtful reflections captured here. #LGBTQIA #TransRightsReadathon

I very much loved some of the short stories in this collection, and others were just alright. So fun to find a collection of ace stories! #LGBTQIA #ShortStories #TransRightsReadathon
