Welcome to Litsy!

I thought this was a dud. The world building is definitely lacking, the use of magic is vague and remains indéfinies. As does the explanations for how ghosts appear in Ghostopolis (some are skeletons, some look younger than they were when they died, etc). Uneven, bland storytelling.

It is a quick read, I finished it while waiting in the car line at Maya‘s school. It was the only book I had on hand.

Maya and I certainly came home with a handful of books from the library yesterday! Picked up a bunch for #screamathon while Maya made herself at home browsing the Teen Loft. 😄 📚 #bookhaul #librarybookhaul

Looks like I‘ll be doing a buddy read of The Book Thief soon, since I don‘t remember enough details and would like to be able to discuss it with her while she reads it.

I really enjoyed this book because whenever I read it I was in my own little world. If you wanted to escape reality I would recommend this book. Doug Tennapel is one of my writers and I think this is his one of his best piece of work.

Such a good comic, if you like Harry Dresden you‘ll like this comic!

11 year old son was enthusiastic enough about this one to tell me if the author has written other books to get them. 😄 He read 20 min beyond his allotted time to finish it.

If you haven‘t listened yet, check out our latest episode of Unabridged, which features our kids‘ current reads and recommendations. And you might want to pick up my eight-year-old son‘s newest recommendation, Ghostopolis. It‘s a fabulous graphic novel that features the underworld, ghost hunters, and a super-savvy young protagonist. (He wanted to help me set up the photo!)

I finished the challenge of reading a book with purple on the cover for #Spookathon with #Ghostopolis by #DougTenNapel and I LOVED this. It was just enough spooky but mostly very heartwarming and fun. I thought the whole thing was very well done! I think EVERYONE would love this book. 💜👻

#BlackCatChallenge Day 9: As Fats noted in her review: This graphic novel has vivid imagery, quite a few fight scenes, and a lot of ghosts (who say #Boo) and hunting. This book is definitely fast-paced. However, I thought the plot had missing pieces. There wasn‘t much of a backstory for the two main characters, and there seemed to be little room for character development. Her full review: https://wp.me/pDlzr-ayf

In the comics/graphic novel mood ☺️. I think I found me a new favorite author. #DougTenNepal 😉 Just finished #Cardboard and now on to #Ghostopolis.

#GetMovin Day 18: The #Ghost of Memories Past and Lives Once Lived. Saw this photo on Facebook and absolutely loved it. Here‘s to growing old with our books and friends, with tea, cupcakes, and a box of chocolate.

Ghost is such a good book 📚 📖

Last read of 2017!!! My five year old daughter threw an hour and a half long tantrum today, so this is what I decided to do in response. Doug TenNapel never fails to make me cry with his graphic novels! Happy New Year everyone!!!

#riotgrams day one is shelfie. I'm still organizing my books so this is one of my smaller shelves but also my favorite.

My reading partner and I approved of this one 👍🏽

This is too much, y'all! 😹👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

😹😹😹

This was pretty good. I liked the art and the story was interesting.

Tonight's read! #graphicnovel #teacherlife #readingchallenge #40bookchallenge

Hey #Littens, I'm looking for #recommendations for my niece. Her 9th birthday is coming and I need suggestions for books to get her. I have some ideas but I'm sure there's many great kids books I don't know about. She loves the Amulet series, just finished Ghostopolis, and has tentatively started Harry Potter. She specifically asked me for chapter books but I'm open to graphic novel suggestions too (thinking of getting her Lumberjanes or Nimona)
