Welcome to Litsy!

Starting this #library #eBook and I know nothing - I really prefer to go into books totally unknowing. I was attracted to it because it is

This was such a cute and heartwarming read!

The story is told in dual timelines, one set in 1987 and the other in the 1930s/1940s. The dual timelines was executed well.

As for the characters, I loved the three main characters, Harlow, Matt, and Tuesday. Harlow was my favorite. I enjoyed seeing her character grow and take charge of her life.

Home from a day at the beach! Florida sun is ruthless!! Anyway, continuing on my journey through graphic novels. #mooncakes #suzannewalker #wendyxu #graphicnovel #library #paperback

A young woman in Belfast, teaching 7 yo‘s at a Catholic school, failing at keeping her mom sober, and helping her brother run the family bar with mostly Protestant clientele- falls for the attention of an older married man. I thought it excellent and learned a lot of Irish slang, tightly plotted, fabulous minor character studies and true sense of place, or seemed - how could I know? Five slices of pie. Read for Tournament of Favorites #ToF2024

Library run for tons of graphic novels. Starting with this adorable short one. #shoulderacoffinkuro #satokokiyuduki #manga #graphicnovel #paperback #library #readingslump!

First off, this book is hilarious. It‘s very satirical and pokes a lot of fun at own society. Parts of the story were reminiscent of the pandemic and how some political leaders and society handled it. I found it very clever. One of the funniest parts of the book was ogre speak, which was essentially really foul and rude language.

First off, Colin calls Penelope “the most remarkable woman in the world” (pg. 423). I whole heartedly agree. The fact that she was Lady Whistledown for 10 years is impressive. What a smart woman!

I liked Penelope and Colin together. The fact that they were both writers was really cute.

This was such a joy to read! This manga is seriously the cutest thing ever. I was dying over how adorable it was.

Like the title suggests, the main characters are opposites. Suzuki is outgoing and popular, while Tani is more reserved and keeps to himself. I loved seeing their relationship blossom. Their first date was a standout.

Dodged a bullet? Cricket didn‘t due to Gun Loving Loon Kristi N. In Dead Boss Cemetery Vol. III, a gun club faces an ugly, and grotesque scene. The leader shoots her head off when her gun misfires. OH NO! It‘s time for therapy again! https://tinyurl.com/yc2kr2fn

The storyline is fairly simple (basically the main character is in search of a boyfriend), but I didn‘t mind. Less is more in this case.

As for the characters, I really liked the love interest, Eiji. He was so sweet and protective towards the main character.

The best part of this book was definitely the art style. It was so dreamy.
