Welcome to Litsy!

Here are my #CastTheDie books! They're all #RIP worthy ebooks I've had on my TBR for far too long, and they're also on my #BookSpin list. I started Beyond the Count today, but only read the introduction (I was on my lunch break). I'm hoping to get to all three of them before Halloween.

#wdncw that i have to sit with a story for a while before reviewing it.🙂
The Deep is inspired by a song by ‘clipping.‘
it imagines an underwater society born from the trama of the slave trade. haunting, dreamy, & emotionally resonant.
Yetu, the mermaid historian, carries the weight of memory until it nearly breaks her. she meets Oori & their bond is soft & healing. A reminder that connection can be chosen 💗

3.7⭐️ trying to start this month off right with this short horror story. Its definitely got that creep vibe with a little ick thrown into it. Every time the FMC bleeds, she has to kill another version of herself. And as humans, we bleed more then we think. I think i expected a kittle more by the description, but had to remember that this was a really quick read. And to find out, it‘s actually a trilogy, and I have already started book 2.

I did a rec for @PuddleJumper's #HauntedShelf before, but technically too early, so here's another. This book haunts me, it's weird and offers little by way of answers to the mysterious events it discusses. I kinda want to reread it again.

Also, here's the post all about it if you want to join #HauntedShelf and gamify your October reading a little: https://www.litsy.com/web/post/2895375

When it's the last day of the month and you realize you haven't read a #ThematicCozies, you scroll through your kindle looking for something short that fits the prompt of #Books. This had a bit of mystery and bookstore in the title. Bonus @julieclair it was enjoyable. 📚

This book was truly disgusting, as it was meant to be, and the prose was beautiful. I had to look up words I was unfamiliar with. I enjoyed the challenge. The novella was intriguing and gross. Perfect for Halloween if you want to fear mermaids.

TW: very graphic, includes eye stuff

Apparently, one benefit of joining the Kansas City Public Library is this “Lucky Day” feature. I am not one to read “popular” books very often (the ones churned out by authors whose names appear on book covers in bigger font than the title 🙄) but perusing through the offerings, I found a Martha Wells! Squeeeeeeeeeeee

I loved this little? (Still 300 pages) novella that is next in our #CosmereBuddyRead. It‘s a story with Lopen and some new characters. There‘s a ghost ship! Need I say more? 😆⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This one was a very quick read, a story that reads like a long poem. Our protagonist is heartbroken over a betrayal by his father, and at the same time growing into a man himself. Such a short novella, with all the impacts of life woven into it: heartbreak, laughter, coming of age, and in the end; making the right decisions for the ones we love.
