Welcome to Litsy!

Pub Day: 17th July 2025

It's been some time since I read a book that pulled me into the story so much that I forgot I was reading about fictional characters. Yes, sure, it's unlikely I'll meet a speaking fox in my life and there might not be real magic out there, but all the characters felt very real. Believable backstories, believable problems and struggles.

I want to visit Batty Hole Inn and hug all of them.

📘A Witch's Guide to Magical Innkeeping (ARC)

This author is sort of all over the place in her genre. If you're ok with that (I am for sure) and enjoy a surprise definitely give this a go.

I had a great time. Love a man with an Irish accent. Can‘t wait for Mandanna‘s next book this year!!

This one is for everyone who grew up reading Tamora Pierce—but especially for the generation after. In Lorel, we have a courageous and tender-hearted transfemme lead disguising herself and going after her dream of joining an order of witches. The characters, world-building, and magic were wonderful—but I expected more depth and complexity from a bildungsroman marketed to adults vs a YA novel. Maybe the sequel will bring more, I‘ll be waiting!

This is not my genre. (I read it to get a Goodreads bookmark.) So I didn‘t know what to expect. This book is a bit more sappy than I really like, but it was also a bit more magical than I thought it would be. That combination was just right and I thoroughly enjoyed this novel. Witches and humans solve a problem and maybe start a bit of a revolution in the world of both. Magic, love, family, and a happy ending. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Book 7 in the series. A tv show/crew is coming to the knitting shop to film a tv show. And of course one of the students is murdered. This one was a real who dunnit. I was surprised by who the killer was. I really like this series. It makes me want to learn to knit, but let‘s be honest, I‘ll be just as bad as Lucy!
