Welcome to Litsy!

Currently re-reading Shadow and Bone, read it ages ago but hadn't gotten around to getting the other two, so treated myself to the box set recently after watching (and loving) season 2 of the TV series.

#WondrousWednesday
🧝🏽‍♀️Since Season 2 of Shadow and Bone just came out, I will have to choose Alina - because I love this entire series
🫦 Nahr / Yaqoot / Almas - yes, she has 3 names in Susan Abulhawa‘s Against The Loveless World - Palestinian refugee turned prostitute turned revolutionary. Absolutely riveting. My review here: https://wp.me/pDlzr-ox1
👩🏾‍🏫Victoire from Babel because she is INSANELY brilliant.

the story paves the way for the grishaverse and while they are good the six of crows duo and king of scars duo

Loved this so much perfect fantasy with romance in between the plot

Awesome story and an easy read. Didn‘t know anything before seeing the adaptation on Netflix. She has to save the world while also falling for two different guys, one that deserves her and one that just wants to use her. Magic vs a dark void that destroys anything in its way. The next duology is in hand already. “What is infinite? The universe and the greed of men”.

This series was amazing! I started the first book in hopes it would hold me over until the sequel of Ninth House came out. Even though this is a young adult series, I thoroughly enjoyed it.Overall, it was very interesting. It had great elements of magic, fantasy, and drama to keep me interested. I am excited to watch the Netflix series and see how the book translates to TV.

Arrived today ! Perfect for a stinking cold 🤧brandy books 📚 🥰 cuddly dogs 🐶 fire 🔥 and pjs 🥰🥰

I've made a bookmark related to "The Grisha Trilogy" and wanted to share it with you guys. It wasn't hard to make and in my opinion it looks awesome!!!

I‘ve finally sorted my thoughts on the Grishaverse to be able to write about them. I got a book hangover from each of these books and had to take a short break from fantasy after. They are incredible and I‘m so pissed I put off reading them for so long!

Who else is ready for the Shadow and Bone series on Netflix?? Has anyone watched it yet? If so, leave your thoughts down below. 🤍#shadowandbone #sixofcrows #netflix #tvadaptation #love #bibliophile #brooklynnsbooks

I heard a lot about this trilogy and the upcoming Netflix series so I had to try it. This series was amazing. #shadowandbone

Last #bookdelivery arrived yesterday along with 6 #newbookmarks

Look at how gorgeous they all are! Finally I'll be able to read the series properly instead of #Sixofcrowsduology first like an idiot 😅

Read the trilogy to the grishaverse before the netflix series comes out. I don't see where all the hype in these book came from. Mal was very annoying up till the last book and was still slightly annoying but manageable with his character development. I felt the ending was really anticlimactic. I get the symbolism in it but it just felt flat to me. The darkling deserved and better ending AND a better prequel intro!

🤩 CAN NOT WAIT!

My Valentine's Day gift from me to myself!♥😏

#JumpIntoJanuary Day 12: This series, by far, remains my #YAFavorite(s). This post details my book club‘s arguments and polarized views regarding this series, back when the world was covid-free and we were still living in Singapore: https://wp.me/pDlzr-9s4

These are some of the series I absolutely love.
What would you recommend I read next?

I need to start reading the series! 😃 It‘s coming soon to Netflix! They have been on my shelves for a long time! CAN‘T WAIT!!! In LOVE with my collection and the beautiful 🤩 red and black pages!! ❤️😃 Who else is reading the GrishaVerse books?📚

An interview with Leigh Bardugo about the Grishaverse, Ninth House, disabilities (I wasn't aware she has one), and the difference between world building in books and tv. https://lithub.com/leigh-bardugo-on-world-building-and-the-limitations-and-gifts...

Day 12: #3Books #IveReread. My book friends and I had a huge argument about this series: some of them hated it, some of us LOVED it. Hence, I reread it - just to be sure - and loved it even more. There ya go.

Between a pick and a so-so.

While I did enjoy the books, I must admit that there was something missing. I think I couldn‘t quite relate to the characters, which could be as much my own fault as it could be the author‘s. In general, the characters just left me a bit indifferent - sadly, especially Alina. The Darkling would have intrigued me more without the big twist in book 1. Honestly, I liked where the story was going BEFORE the twist.

1) 5 books bought at the same time:
The Grisha Trilogy (Shadow and Bone, Siege and Storm, and Ruin and Rising. All Hardcover)
Darksdawn (NeverNight 3 - Paperback)
Broken Throne (Red Queen 4.5 - After War Storm - Hardcover)
2) Read: Anywhere I can, but somewhere quiet, peaceful.
Listen: Usually while working.
3) Sound of Silence - Disturbed version

Fiancé made the mistake of taking me to another book shop haha. We got our Hogwarts house socks too (him being a ravenclaw). I'm now grounded and not allowed any more books haha, his fault. Happy new year everyone 📚❤️🎉🎊📖

These are the books I would still like to finish before the end of the year.
Hopefully I'll be able to and add a few Christmas reads.

#GratefulReads Day 25: This trilogy falls under the category of #BookYouHaveReread - or books for that matter. I rarely reread books but since our book club‘s discussion of the trilogy has been so divisive, I reread it and fell in love with the Grishaverse all over again and solidified my opinion that this is one of the best YA fantasy series out there. My ode to the Grisha trilogy here: https://wp.me/pDlzr-8Ue

I cannot say how much I love Leigh Bardugo and this trilogy! All three books are kept me up late and woke me up early-I could NOT stop reading them. The way characters and settings are developed is so compelling. I wish I were Grisha!

I was impressed with this trilogy. The first book was my favorite. The second book was a bit slow but I feel like it was necessary. The series wrapped up nicely in the third book. I was happy with the ending and the new paths the characters had in front of them.

My summer reading list. I read slow. 😉 🖤 I'm only on chapter 5 of Shadow and Bone but I'm already getting hooked!

I was so excited to finally have all three of this series finally bought and residing on my shelf together... until Ruin and Rising came and it was the other version. So now it doesn't match! This bugs the crap outta me when the covers are different like this.

I love the other version of the books though and would rather have them so maybe I'll just buy new Shadow & Bone and Siege & Storm to match Ruin instead of buying a new one of it. Choices!!

I enjoyed this trilogy more than I expected, probably thanks to Moi Tsarevich 🥰 there was a little too much focus on romance for my taste, but I think it will be great as a Netflix show, hopefully.

Spoiled myself a bit 😊

I‘m on the second book now in the Grisha Trilogy. Leigh Bardugo is honestly amazing. So far I don‘t think they are quite as good as Six of Crows but they‘re definitely still up there. A part that I really like about this series is that the main character is so relatable, yet still badass. #litsy #youngadult #sogood #goodreads #fantasy #romance #adventure

#LiteraryLove Day 22: My #LiteraryCrush of all times remains Nikolai Lantsov who appeared in Grishaverse only in Book 2 (Siege and Storm). am beyond excited to find out that a spin-off series has been done about him by Leigh Bardugo (King Of Scars). I raved about the entire trilogy and what I loved about Grishaverse in this post: https://wp.me/pDlzr-8Ue - the only series I read not once - but twice!

#24in48 My Favorite Series Challenge. This was one of the series that thoroughly divided my book club. I absolutely adored the books while a few of them loathed with a passion. Any title that can engender such a heated debate and rile such varied emotions must be good. My ode to the trilogy here: https://wp.me/pDlzr-8Ue #WomenReadWomen2019

Hmmm....the new book comes out in a week. I'm thinking I should reread the original trilogy. But, can u get through three books in less than a week (I'm in the middle if Winter of the Witch). Ella thinks I should spend more time staring seriously out the window...

Only two weeks til #KingofScars is released! 😱 Time for a reread, I think...

Eeeeeeeeeeeeek!!!!

Just in case you haven't heard.....THIS. IS. HAPPENING!

I swear, Netflix doesn't want me to leave my house ever again. I fully support it.

I'm at the dentist with the kiddo and I saw this online. I tried to contain my nerdy excitement about it by sharing here instead of frightening people in public 😁

@Rabidgummibear and I are doing a Grishaverse reread ahead of the release of King of Scars! Join us as we dive into one of our favourite literary universes yet again. #HFNGrishaverse https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvtF0hodZS7_M-TXdnTtkVw

Reading in the afternoon sun. I‘ve had a few moments of frustration with her pacing, but overall love The Grisha Series. Especially love the world she created. Looking forward to more books set there. Definitely recommend. Bardugo also has some truly beautiful quotes. Several particularly poignant observations made me cry.

Hey guys! The whole Grisha Trilogy are only $2.99 each right now on Amazon! I have the 1st in print but didn't have the other 2 so I grabbed them up! I'll still probably get them in print later but I haven't read the next 2 and couldn't pass up that deal! I should've taken the picture before I purchased them so it'd show their price but I promise they're only $2.99! Lol

Each ebook only $2.99 on amazon?! That‘s a great deal!

I couldn‘t wait anymore and opened my gifts from @GypsyKat

Thank you so much! I LOVE everything. I‘ve been wanting the Grisha trilogy for awhile and now can‘t wait to buddy read it with you.

#gypsykatisthebest

Starting this now.

Adventure abounds in this trilogy! While some of the middle drags on and there‘s a little extra angst from our heroine (love, infatuation, self-doubt) it has, as a good friend put it, the most satisfying conclusion to a series I‘ve ever read.
