Welcome to Litsy!

This book was blurbed as "The Next Hunger Games"... something I never got into I decided as it was James Patterson to read it anyways the premise sounded good. Teenage girl kidnapped and placed into a prison like living situation where "inmates" are forced to fight each other. Whilst it wasn't quite the Patterson style thriller that I was expecting, it was more Dystopian in nature. It was still an interesting read. ⭐⭐⭐ #jamespatterson #crazyhouse

Book #2 Completed #Screamathon2020 Not a favorite from the fabulous James Patterson and that reference to the Hunger Games is a big mislead but hey... it‘s a book 🔪

Book #2 for #Screamathon2020. Starting this one on my break at work. Hopefully things will wind down and I can get a couple hours of reading in 👍🏼📖 Crazy house is also the name of the place I grew up in.

When you have a whole shelf dedicated to one author, and it‘s triple stacked. 😂

James Patterson is a fantastic writer, and I decided a while back that I wanted to get my hands on as many of his books as possible. As many of you guys know, I don‘t hold onto books once I‘ve read them, so these are all unread. Maybe I need to start a James Patterson bookclub 😂😂

I don‘t understand why the ending was so abrupt

Not my usual type of book, it's classified as sci-fi which is very sketchy.

Enjoyed it though and I was willing them on until the very end, which was a really good ending.
A very good idea for a story but abit weird at times.

I almost didn't read this because of the Hunger Games comparison. I'm glad I read it anyway. Heads up: There is some brutal violence for a YA book. I'm glad I read it anyway, but this is a "part one" type of book. There is a next book.

This is the first James Patterson I have read and I can‘t tell you how much I loved it! Highly recommend picking this up!

New book I'm reading! Just started and I'm already hooked! The dragonfly on the cover caught my attention and I just had to pick it up 😁😁😁

I picked up this young adult novel up at Barnes and Noble while getting some summer books for the kids, and I can‘t put it down! 📖👏🏻😱

This was a so-so for me but if you love YA James Patterson you‘ll probably like this. This story was a combination of The Hunger Games, Divergent and Maze Runner but not as good as those.

So so so so good! Can‘t wait for book 2. 🤩

Couldn‘t keep going with Accelerando; 22 pages in and I wasn‘t getting anything out of it. Jumped ship and decided to start this one I snagged from the library last week. Much better so far! 😋

Cassie & Becca are identical twins with very different attitudes about life. When Becca goes missing, Cassie's world is turned upside down as finding her sister means losing her perception of reality. This YA book will appeal to fans who like dystopian novels. It's reminiscent of the Hunger Games or Divergent series & the ending leaves plenty of room for sequels.

I don‘t remember the last time I was able to get and read a book and finish it in less then 24 hours, I have been so stressed and busy with life that I forgot how much I enjoyed reading and getting lost in a book 🐶😊📚

I also have a great reading companion 🐶📚❤️

I am bunny sitting the best rabbit in the world and she is such a good reading companion and she apparently likes when I read to her lol 🐰👑📚❤️
Thank you so much @HiddenGemBooks for letting me watch your child 😊

got this today, and it was on sale 😊📚

Ugh. I couldn‘t get into this one either. The storyline resembled other series I‘ve already read. And I don‘t like short chapters with cliffhangers, it‘s way too obvious.

So I bailed on the last 2 books I started to read. Hopefully this one keeps my interest. And I‘ve never read anything by James Patterson before so here goes! 🤞🏾

Onto Book 4 of 2018! I only read 6 or 7 books in 2017 so I‘m happy to be on a good streak right now. Hoping to keep it up!

It‘s a “pick” but just barely. I haven‘t read anything from the Patterson fiction factory in years but there were few surprises. If you like James Patterson and YA then you‘re going to read this regardless of what I say. You know what to expect and you will be satisfied. Otherwise, there isn‘t much to see here. I simply can‘t resist a rebellious heroine.

When the cat is away ( @Crowcrumbs is visiting her mother) the mouse will visit new vegan restaurants... I may have paraphrased. Vegan California club, white bean soup, and water while I finish up the tagged ebook. Before going BOOK shopping for the nonfiction swap!

This book was really good. I was hooked from the beginning. It was my first James Patterson book, and now I want to read all of his books! I just love post-apocalyptic books, and this one did not disappoint. And the ending had me thinking, “Whaaat?” Everyone should check this book out.

“It was like I‘d been living half asleep. And was now waking up to see how things really were.”

Mediocre at best. It honestly felt like a reskinned version of the Hunger Games with how all of it played out. I've all but given up hope on Patterson. Full review to come at brutalbookworm.blogspot.com

This book lets you see the action from each twins point of view. #multipleperspectives #spookyoctober

3.5⭐️ As usual Patterson writes a quick story with short chapters. They alternate between various characters, mostly Cassie and Becca. The tagline of the cover says the next Hunger Games, and while I see a little Hunger Games, I see other stories more. It is a derivative novel. It wants to be a mash up of The Maze Runner and Divergent. It does work, but it has been done better.

Full review on Goodreads.

1. Sweaters. 2. Winter. 3. Turn of the century and medieval. 4. Probably about $50. That would be a book a week. 5. Any place I haven't been or any place I have been. 6. Forgot my book or interruptions. 7. 90%. I give my away when I'm done unless they are sentimental or part of an unfinished series. #litsyquestions.

@DuckOfDoom I'm in. #fantasytitlebingo. The funny part, I just finished a fantasy and am reading another and no square. 🤣😜

I don't care if you call it #octoberTBR or #octobermostanticipated either way, this is what I want to read. But if I'm being honest I'll only get 1 done. #uncannyoctober #spookyoctober #hallowreads

This kind of gave me a hunger games feel! But it for sure had its own story to it! I loveeeee James Patterson!!! He'll always be my favorite action packed author!!!!

I loved every character in this book they were so well thought out! It was an amazing audio book! I loved how short the chapters were so it just kept you interested the whole time! There has to be a second one!

No one gets out alive.

17 year old Becca was taken from her home and thrown without reason into a hellish prison know as the Crazy House. She‘s told to shut her mouth and keep her head down.

Becca was never really good at either.

Her only hope is for her sister, Cassie, to find her before it‘s too late. Because the jailers at Crazy House soon discover they made a mistake that could get both sisters killed...

#Augustwrapup I don't even know how I went from reading 20+ books a month to 4🙁 #readingslump 😔 I'm hoping to pick it up in September
Invasive by Chuck Wendig ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ good concept, scary bugs, gore, kick ass female protagonist
Crazy House by James Patterson ⭐️⭐️⭐️ ok read, nothing special, very similar to Hunger Games/Divergent

This fell just the "pick" side of "so-so" for me. It definitely wasn't Hunger Games, but a decent start to a new YA series. I'll read the next one to see what happens. It has promise.

Sitting in the waiting room at my Dr's office. That's how you want to start the week....

So thankful it's the weekend, even if I have to pack tomorrow!! On to a new Patterson tonight! P.S. I hate when they compare books to series/books that I love! 🙄

Have not read it yet, but I think it's disposed to be about a haunted house. Wonder if anyone makes it out alive. #livetotell #augustgrrrl

Gotta love Patterson credit, for a teen mystery this one is pretty good. Perfect summer read so far. #jamespatterson #crazyhouse #mystery #yabook

Pretty covers & beach dreams...#bookstagram

I love dystopian and James Patterson... so what could be better? What a great read... a brilliant pick me up after a heavy read. #jamespatterson #crazyhouse #ukcover #5starread

Ahhh, just picked this up from Barnes and Noble and can't wait to give it a try!

I hadn't gotten into James Patterson's YA books until recently and I've been throughly enjoying them! Have any of you read this yet? Thoughts??

Date night book haul!!!

The book is what got me out of a bad reading slump. I needed something that wasn't too long and an easy read. It was both. I liked it and I love the cover.

“Is this a test?” I asked flatly. “All of life is a test,” said Ms. Strepp,

Started this tonight! It sounds really good and I'm excited to jump in!

I was exhausted, filthy, starving, cold, and afraid. But as I looked up at the wide-open sky just starting to lighten with the promise of a new day, I knew I‘d never been so happy. A couple of dragon flies zipped by overhead, as if relieved to be free also. “ thanks,” I whispered to them.
