Welcome to Litsy!

Hey, #GroupR! Here are the four books I‘m considering—let me know what you think! #lmpbc

#BookSpin #DoubleSpin #BookSpinBingo

Two rather different novels this month!

A retelling of Shakespeare‘s much ado about nothing set in a speakeasy during the 1920s. So much fun.

Feburary TBR. Still at the Plantagenets, adding lotsa romance, obviously, a couple of book club picks (including a couple not shown, for extra shiny) and a few middle grade books, because I feel like it might be a gap in my Readers Advisory, so I‘m trying to increase the amount of that I‘m reading.
Most excited for Speak Easy, Speak Love—a 1920s retelling of Much Ado About Nothing

One of my #TBR recommendations from Book Riot and I absolutely loved it. I love Shakespeare retellings, when done well, and this was a delightful rom-com set in Prohibition-era New York. Entertaining, witty, and just plain fun. Highly recommended!

Much love to #Bailey for finally letting me finish it. 😂 #dogsoflitsy #pitbullsoflitsy #readingbuddy #snugglebuddy

Not strictly book related, as you can see, I‘ve been forced to put my book down with less than 100 pages to go. #Bailey says “less reading, more petting, if you please”. 🤣

This may be my new favorite quote. 🤣🥂

The Wolf and the Watchman managed to get even worse. I‘m honestly not sure I‘m going to be able to stomach the depravity and finish it. Right now, I need rainbows, puppies, and kittens, so I‘m starting this 1920s version of Much Ado About Nothing and snuggling with #Bailey.

I received my second set of #MyTBR Tailored Book Recommendations from Book Riot today and I couldn‘t be more excited! Now, I just have to find time to read them! 😱🤦🏻‍♀️📚📚

❣️Three girls.
Three boys.
By the end of a summer filled with romantic misunderstandings, witty machinations, and daring escapades, they‘ll either all be enemies....or they‘ll all be in love.❣️

This sparkling retelling of Shakespeare‘s Much Ado About Nothing is an uproarious battle of wits with a 1920s twist.

I love this cover 😍

My first book of #2019 is a YA retelling of Much Ado about Nothing set in the 1920s! I want to go to there. What‘s your first book of the new year?

Ah, Beatrice & Benedick. The love/hate relationship that puts all other love/hate relationships to shame. Much Ado is my favorite of Shakespeare‘s comedies, & George rewrites it *just* enough to make it even better — adding new dimensions to the characters & their interactions with each other so that you‘re riveted to the page, rooting for every one of them. The setting, too, added a layer of intrigue & mayhem. An exciting, delightful romp. ★★★★☆.

#currentlyreading | I will never get tired of retellings of Much Ado. Never. And that cover 😍 #yalitsy

This is a partial pile of TBR for this month! What‘s your month looking like?!

I don‘t know how I missed this during our Much Ado About Nothing read, but I‘m so intrigued! Has anyone read it? #ShakespeareReadalong

I couldn‘t resist this deal. I‘ve heard great things about this book and love a Much Ado retelling. I currently have it in print from the library but enjoy multiple formats and the chance to support the author at a wallet-friendly price. 😉

Day 7 of #febinbooks18 is red or #pinkcovers. I decided to go with pink and discovered it is probably one of the least represented colors on my shelves. I wonder if it is subconscious. 🤔 I am looking forward to Speak Easy though, has anyone read it?

Had to dig for today‘s #riotgrams because most of my hardcovers are library books or collector‘s editions. But here‘s a temporary naked book that was a gift from my bestie - a retelling of Much Ado About Nothing that I absolutely loved, song with some of those pesky collector‘s editions. And a bonus wedding photo!

Wonderful setting + gangsters + prohibition + one smart ass father = awesome Much Ado About Nothing retelling.
I kinda loved everyone and want to live in this house now. Oh the romantic drama was so good! And I love how the girls have careers and aren't just fawning over guys for the whole book...plus there's an interracial romance...in the US...in the 1920s
Highly recommend!

I am in so much love with Beatrice and Benedict!...and the setting...and the mobsters...and the dialogue!

I'm up to page 151 and passing out.

I am SO STOKED to finally start this! Much Ado About Nothing retelling? Don't mind if I do!

Pretttttttty pretty book delivery

I was such a goner. From page one. I cannot recommend this beautiful book highly enough. All the stars.

Here‘s my entry for #thereadingwomen #readathon Six amazing books by six amazing women writers!

Love the cover, dislike the title. No reason, I just do. The two don't seem to match. #coverlove #YAedition
