Welcome to Litsy!

I love to make plans, set goals, do book challenges (mostly to just make the graphics and lists) and participate in book clubs and #TBR shrinking activities. I do not let them stress me out because I subscribe to Captain Cold‘s 4 rules.
Follow my lead and you‘ll be fine.

This month‘s #tbr

My #TBR for 2026‘s #bookspin & #doublespin! Thanks as always @TheAromaofBooks for organizing! Massive BOTM backlog!

#BookSpin / #DoubleSpin @TheAromaOfBooks

I did pretty great this year on my Book Spins :) I kinda fizzled out last month and this month (I had overcommitted to too many buddy reads), and did a bunch of #AudioCommute - the Books I picked for those months are physical ones in my home (as an attempt to cull my #TBR).

I will do the same next year, and I am excited to get a whole new List picked out! (Had regurgitated lists for several months).

From my #TBR #10BeforetheEnd

Thank you for my #AussieSecretSanta gifts @Teresereading 😊. I love them 😍. Sophie Laguna is a favourite author, and I didn‘t yet have this one, her latest. I don‘t think it was on my #tbr list 🤔, so well done. #ozfiction
Thank you @thegirlwiththelibrarybag for enabling the spread of Christmas joy across this wide, brown land 🙏. Merry Christmas All 🎄❤️.

This is the third book from Radio National Australia‘s best books of the 21st century, as voted by listeners, that I had on my #tbr shelf and decided prioritise. This one made it to number 16. I‘ve read two other books by Winman, both of which I liked.
I enjoyed this saga which felt a bit Kate Atkinson, with its British characters and wartime stories. Could‘ve done with a bit of an edit though IMO.
