Welcome to Litsy!

Benny, trying to find a place for himself in NYC, instead finds himself helping a Coney Island sideshow capture a merman. Only, when he starts connecting w/ the merman, Benny must decide what his new family is worth.

I really enjoyed this! It‘s a very slow start, setting up all the fun side characters & the show, but it‘s worth it when the plot really kicks in. & NYC was such a fantastically detailed setting. I did predict the twist. 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑

I just finished reading When The Tides Held The Moon by Venessa Vida Kelley and I earned this achievement. That was easy because this is the #whimsicalreadsbookclub book for June and it‘s on the list of LGBTQ+ qualifying books on Goodreads. I didn‘t even realize it was on there until I looked.

Here‘s my review for the #whimsicalreadsbookclub book. The song I‘m choosing to match this book is “This Is Me” from the movie The Greatest Showman.

Yay! I was approved for this ARC I signed up for from Daria Quinn and The Smuthood PR. This is the second book in a series. I looked on here and it‘s not on Litsy so I‘ll tag it under Super Smutty Sign Language. After I finish the #whimsicalreadsbookclub book then I‘ll start this book. I‘m looking forward to reading this. I forgot that this book was going to be released on June 26.

Just started the #WhimsicalReadsBookClub book today and I am so invested already!

I started this book last night. This is the #whimsicalreadsbookclub June book. I‘m an hour into the audiobook. I‘m not feeling pulled into the story at all yet so I‘m not sure if I‘m going to like it but maybe it‘ll get better. If it doesn‘t get better then I‘ll DNF it.

Here‘s my #bookspinbingo list for June. I probably won‘t have time to participate in all of the book clubs I want to participate in but I‘ll probably have time to participate in #litsyscifibookclub, #whimsicalreadsbookclub and the Wednesday Addams book club on Fable. I‘ve already started reading the ARC I need to read this month. It‘s good but I‘m not having fun reading it. I‘ve only read 51 pages. Maybe it‘ll get better. I don‘t know.

Here‘s the book clubs I‘m hoping to participate in this month as well as the June picks. I‘ll be able to read the books for #whimsicalreadsbookclub and #litsyscifibookclub and I‘ll be able to participate in the Wednesday Addams book club on Fable since the audiobook for Come Closer is only 3 hours. I‘m not sure I‘ll have time to participate in the other Fable book clubs even though they‘re all reading books I want to read.
