Welcome to Litsy!

I'm attempting to complete #30in30 for this month, but (at only 7 books read so far) I've fallen really behind. 😅 I have a few more books almost completed, but I definitely need to get on the reading groove.

What's a book you loved and could read in one sitting? Length isn't a huge deal, just something you were able to fly through. Thanks in advance, and cross your fingers for me to complete my challenge. 🤞

Murder by Memory - a generation-ship murder-mystery with a nod to knitting? There's really no way I wasn't going to like this.

And I finished my Goodreads seasonal challenge! #goodreadschallenge #readingchallenges

This was a quick listen at 3 hours. I didn‘t realize it‘s part of a series, but since it‘s a retelling of The Great Gatsby with a twist, I was already familiar with the characters. If you‘ve always secretly wished Nick Carraway & Jay Gatsby got together, then this is the book for you. I enjoyed the narrator. 3.5⭐️

I had great fun with this queer science fiction cozy mystery, although it felt like it went by too quickly! A vividly realized detective character, unique world-building, and a twisty puzzle: what else could you want? How and why does someone commit murder, when humans have been living in a spaceship for centuries, immortal due to their minds being saved in 'books' in the library until it's time to put them back in a new body, memories intact?

Cj left me unattended in a bookstore. Here‘s what I got. 😂

Only “Italy“ to go! #WickedWords @AsYouWish

Unsettling and surprisingly hard-hitting for a 96 page novella.

A novella for the evening. 13 pages in and the writing is A+. Glad I also have I Was a Teenage Slasher.

Absolute banger of an opening page
