Welcome to Litsy!

Loki seemed like a perfect addition to the photo. I did not love the first part of this book- a LOT of body shaming- but then there was a plot twist and the story took off and became fast paced, engaging and a loved the characters. sort of like when The Wizard of Oz movie goes from black and white to color.
will be mailed tomorrow

Not going to say too much about this one since it‘s an #LMPBC read.

The fantasy was interesting, but too much god talk for me. The MC was very whiny in the beginning, but she is supposed to be. It‘s better when she starts growing. It‘s a quick read, even though it‘s a bit long.

You can see my other thoughts on goodreads.

This was delivered today! #LMPBC #GroupF

Can‘t wait to dive into this book.

Having reread it for book club, I love the book equally as much as I did the first time. Elisa is growth to her true self was awesome. Not only did she find her purpose but a band of people who accepted her with open arms.

A girl w/a lot of responsibilities and power, magic, danger, and far off places...this book is all that and a bag of chips! I remember first reading this, I'd gone and picked it up and the other 2 in the series on a wim and sat in the library...well 2 hrs later and a call from my fiancee later I'd fallen in love! So awesome, honestly give it a try!

Fast, fun read. I thought it would be 4 stars until literally the last two pages & then just didn‘t like the wrap up at all. BUT. It‘s super fast paced, has magic & romance & drama so I‘ll definitely be reading the next two books. ⭐️⭐️⭐️

I wasn‘t really a fan of this book. It wasn‘t the worst book I‘ve ever read, but it wasn‘t great. It‘s one of the only books I‘ve ever DNFed. It tries to get away with saying it has diverse characters because the main character is fat, but that is literally her only character trait. I could go on forever about the problems I had with this, but I‘ll just leave it as I recommend skipping it.

The book didn‘t grab me in the beginning and I was a little grossed out by picturing something in someone‘s belly button. I can‘t say that totally went away but it is such a GREAT book, lots of action, character development and not dependent on happily ever after. I stayed up to 5 am finishing it.

Loved it! But I love Rae Carson so.....I would recommend.

I haven't read this series yet, so why not start it now?

I liked this book but i wasn't expecting it!

I like to try and always push myself to try and make myself a better person and people who dont do this annoy me.

The main character starts out fat and lazy with no drive to try and change. As the book goes on she finds herself changing into a better person, not because she used will power to get off her butt but just doing what needed to be done as the situation needed

4 out of 5 😀

Not sure how I hadn‘t read this one yet! Enjoyable story of a 16 year old princess unraveling the mysteries surrounding her and growing as a result.

I haven't been very active on challenges and stuff lately, I've been kind of "blah" for the last week or so, but this one is too cute to pass up. WHEN I get my baby goat(s)...I have every intention of having some some day....if I had to choose a name from my #FreakyFriday reads I think I would name him Humberto (tagged book). I think it suits him ??? #freakyfridaychallenge @Clwojick @monalyisha

This was ...different. Not in a bad way, but definitely different. I really enjoyed the storyline and the characters (❤Humberto & Hector) but found it a little too.....spiritual for my tastes. I also found some of the writing lacked a bit. I did have a few "yell at the book moments" though so.....there must have been something to keep my attention ?

1. Mostly once a week--we take the kids for storytime and to pick up some books for homeschooling

2. The Great Library at Alexandria

3. I have some Tamora Pierce audiobooks on hold through the Overdrive app.

4. I think I was 12 or 13?

No just.... 😒😒🤬🤬🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️ here‘s my full review on goodreads.

#fakenews not reading Fire With Fire by Jenny Han because I didn‘t really that was the 2nd book of a trilogy. Oops. This one it is then. Why not put myself into the middle of yet another series?

For today‘s #RiotGrams #BookThatShouldBeAdapted prompt, I chose a trilogy 😊 I would love ❤️ for Rae Carson‘s Girl of Fire and Thorns Trilogy to be adapted
#BookNerd 📚💙

This was my second time reading this book, and I loved it even more than the first. The idea of the Godstone Elisa has is so unlike anything I‘ve ever read before. I still haven‘t read the novellas in this series, which I think are going to be next on my list!

Slow paced at first but picks up from the middle until the end. Check this out of you are into Strong Female Fantasy novels.
4/5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Finished my first read of the New Year last night! Good story! A little different than I expected but indefinitely enjoyed it!

So many great audiobooks read in September - the only one I didn't enjoy was Two Boys Kissing - that intrusive narrator nearly killed the story line. I braved my way through it and finished it though.

For a debut novel it‘s not bad. I enjoyed it I‘ll finish the trilogy and probably still read another Rae Carson series too.
⭐️⭐️⭐️✨

Great YA Fantasy with a plus-size heroine who looks good and kicks ass, too!!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

i didnt love the first one am in the middle of the second one and am still reading but still dont love it Why am I still reading?

Didn't realize going in that this story had a religious base. There were things that surprised me and things that disappointed me. The ending had enough finality to it that I don't feel the need to continue with the series at this time.

Currently rereading 💖

So I read it a while ago but I want to mention it because I think that not enough people know about it or talk about it. It's slow at the begging but than you just can't stop reading . The story is unique, and the character development in this book is the best I have ever read. So I highly recommend this one .

In the middle of this one! Enjoying it so far! I have so many books on my TBR pile for the summer. . . I wish I could find a job that paid me to read!

This is probably not a popular opinion but I was not a fan of The Grisha Trilogy. If you want to read an epic story about a badass heroine I would suggest the Fire and Thorns Trilogy! #ReadThisNotThat #MayBookFlowers #RaeCarson #FireAndThorns #BookNerd 📚❤️

fictional royalty are sometimes the best kind of royals there is - or the absolute worst sort, it all depends on the book 📚
#readJanuary #royals

Such a lovely, inspiring and enjoyable book! Loved the main character, her journey, the magic and romance. Lots of emotion from funny moments to ones that broke my heart. Would highly recommend it!

Night time reading 💜

I have to work today and I am the only one in the office. Most people would be upset about this but I get to start this bad boy. I am hoping it's good if not I have a backup. 😀

#Booktober #BestCharacterName This was hard to pick, so I have three. Elisa-Lucero (Fire and Thorns) always sounded good to me, it's nice to find hispanic names in English Books. I always thought that Liesel was a really pretty name, and it's one of my favorite characters. And at last, Marianne from Sense and Sensibility, just because it's quite similar to my own name haha.

Elisa is a female character that every woman can relate too. Elisa struggles with confidence issues& struggles to take charge of her life. I really like that Elisa has flaws becuase I think that makes her seem more human. When the book first starts off Elisa is a spoiled pamper princess,who all of a sudden must learn very quickly how to become a learder. As the book goes on Elisa slowly changes and becomes stronger.I highly recommend this book.

It pulses with purpose. God is not done with me yet....

I thought I would really like this but 85 pages in, I just don't care what happens or why she has a godstone or what the godstone does. So back to the library and on to the next book!

It was a slow start, but by the end I was hooked. Can't wait to read book #2!

This is an AWESOME book. The main character is strong, but otherwise unlike almost any other YA/NA book I've ever read.

Got this as a library e-book, and loving it. Interesting Spanish-flavored fantasy world (the countries are Valle de Oro, Joya de Arena, and Invierne), and a heroine with lots of guts and also lots of growth and evolution.
