Welcome to Litsy!

This is the last book I need to complete my #PopSugar challenge, a book that was published the year I was born.

My second Toews. I noted a bit of overlap with Fight Night-fiction but clearly pulling inspiration from Toews‘ real life. Yoli‘s brilliant concert pianist sister tries to kill herself. Yoli flies from her messy life in Toronto to Winnipeg to be with her sister and mother. But what her sister Elfrida really wants is for Yoli to help her by letting her go. I‘m very glad I‘d previously read Hello I Want to Die by Anna Paperny for real life insight.

This was an interesting read about a young girl who joins a cult in college. However, I definitely think it explores all the ways we can set our fellow humans alight. Sometimes, it's a warming fire. Sometimes, it's an all-consuming conflagration. I would read this author again. #52BookClub A Book You Meant to Read Last Year; #PopSugar A Book You Meant to Read in 2022; February's #BookSpin

The inaugural read for the #GoldenAgeCrimeClub inspired me to reread more Christie. I really enjoyed this whodunnit. Miss Marple has to enlist the help of the remarkable Lucy Eyelesbarrow in her investigation. It all starts when Mrs. McGillicuddy witnesses a murder on a passing train.

I‘m using this for #pop23 (text only on cover) AND I thought I‘d tag along with @CBee ‘s #TBRTarot and use this for the January promt “Starts with a number”.

Getting very close to actually finishing the #Popsugar Challenge this year! Only 11 more titles to go and I think I've got books picked out for all of them. c:

This was a lovely read, set in 1969, it has rock and roll, bands, romance, music, and tradegy. I guess it has Daisy Jones vibes.

Read for the #SummerHeat buddy read, but also because it sounded interesting and showed up on a list of books by a POC about joy and not trauma. Can I be honest? This didn't feel like joy. Sure, it's not tackling Jim Crow-era racism or slavery, but I found that the MCs, Eva and Shane, just had too many demons in all their baggage to really make this feel like joy.
This is a second-chance romance, told in the present, with sections going back ⬇️

Celebrating that I finished my #PopSugar Reading Challenge for 2022! I just did the regular prompts, and officially finished on July 1. In past years, I was rushing to finish my last prompts in December.

I‘m thinking of doing the Advanced prompts now but I won‘t stress if not. I‘ve never done those before. It‘s nice to be able to read *whatever* for the rest of the year.

#PopSugar22

A storytelling battle between a cleric and a trio of tigers. How delightful, delicious, and fun. I love it when this oral tradition is honored and Vo did it very craftily. A wonderful fantasy with mammoth riders. #PopSugar
