Welcome to Litsy!

I assumed based on the cover that this would be a YA vampire story. However, it was much more juvenile than I expected. It's about a 13 year old half vampire / half human, but it seems written to more of a 10 year old audience. The story isn't terrible, but it's not all that original. I'd give it 2.5 stars.

How many synonyms for dead can you think of? This book contains a paragraph with 31 of them. Why? I dont know? The word count? Does this bother anyone else?

I thought that this was an okay start to the series. I felt like it just dove into everything without ANY intro to the characters or setting. Plus there was a whole paragraph devoted to synonyms of dead that really drove me crazy. But it features a teenage vampire with dead parents and a man out to get him. The end made me want to keep up and read the next, so I'll continue.

This was totally a #blameitonlitsy (or more like blame it on BFF @LokiDokey ) read.

I don‘t know why I‘ve never read this series before especially since there is a mysterious guy in a hoodie on the cover. I really enjoyed it. The book was lighthearted, even with the deaths of Vladimir‘s parents, and full of quirks and puns. Seriously, he‘s a vampire and was watching Buffy at one joint 😆. I will definitely be reading more of the series.

First up for #YAWednesday I give you the Chronicles of Vladimir Todd. This series was amazingly popular when it came out.

I list this book for a very specific reason. The author is transgender. He gamed game for #parnormal and sci-fi series under his birth name Heather. Around five years ago he came out publicly as Zac Brewer. I only find one book written as Zac and it does not appear to be in the same genera as his previous books.

I tried doing a reread of this would be nice but ultimately it‘s just not holding my attention like I thought it would. So I‘m off to read a book I impulse bought based off the wide praise it‘s been getting on instagram, but now am considering returning it to go back and buy the shape of water novelization once it comes out later this month.

This book came out while I was in middle school and was widely popular. I never got the chance to read it until now and I can understand why it was so popular. It reads how a middle grade student would and focuses on preteen worries. For people who aren't the target audience, this book might have been slightly frustrating. It was illogical and there wasn't a clear timeline, but the characters were relatable and the plot flowed well.

I survived the 8the graders; now I just get quality time with the younger ones. #subbing

This series is awesome🙌🙌✨✨

Read the whole book without a break. Really liked the writing style. Even I could already guess the ending, it was a fun to read till the last page. Just ordered the second book of chronicles. Can't wait to find out more about Vlad.

I read the series 5 years ago; rereading it because it's so fun. A teen half-vampire in high school. Multi-dimensional characters. Great start to the series. I'm in!
