Welcome to Litsy!

Great art and story. The story was well developed and leaves the door open for more adventures.

1st of all, I never read mysteries much less murder m. 2nd of all, I've been in a slump 4 a long stretch. Go to the book profile because enough has already been said. So I'll just emphasize how much fun this book was. It's for kids, but I'd rec 4th grade and up. Some may find the murders a bit gruesome. The vocab might be tiresome for some kids, but this would be a great listen for the whole family or read aloud. Perfect for a budding logophile.

Hope you had a good flight and are having the best time! @dabbe

Tidied off my bedside table and was left with this stack . . . Feels pretty representative of my current reading mood/obsessions.
And RIP Andrea Gibson. What a loss! Having her words flood Instagram this past week has been such a gift. I find it WILD she's from Calais, Maine - the border town closest to me. Proof that amazing art can emerge from anywhere!!

How did I miss that the trailer is out for this adaptation?! I'm so excited, it looks great!

Oof. This hurts my heart. What a light they left in the world. I first read the tagged book of poems because of Alyisha‘s #ALSpine list and it made me laugh, cry, and feel both seen and exposed. Read their books and watch their videos. It‘s good stuff and a bit heartbreaking that there won‘t be more.

This is probably my most reread book of the past few years. This time I‘m facilitating a book club discussion on it. I am really looking forward to discussing it and seeing everyone‘s takeaways.

I love how Yang approached each novella in this series with a different style and format, and how each was told from a different character's perspective. The theme of resistance was powerful and timely. Yang incorporated themes of gender, class, and sexuality, as well. Overall, these were intriguing reads. I'd love to read more by Neon Yang.
