Wicked Lovely | 
Love all of this, @Bookworm54 ! Particularly looking forward to having a hot chocolate in that new mug! Thank you so much @wanderinglynn for hosting another fantastic #HHS 🧡🎃🧡🎃
Time to play catch up!
I enjoyed this book when I read it, I do like a fae story. But for some reason I didn‘t continue with the series. 🤷🏼♀️
Maybe I will revisit it one day as some of my favourite series began with a similar story 😂

pickY‘all I‘m so over the place when I read. Managed to finish the last 30 pages of this gem! I‘m a sucker for anything fae and this is an excellent beginning to the Wicked Lovely series. I‘d have finished it sooner but I started the fairytale retellings for October and…yeah. Anyhooo love the romance. The suspense. The world building ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
pickThis was suggested by my friend Laura (who is not on litsy) because she knows I‘m obsessed with the fae. I‘ve also heard it‘s one of Holly Blacks‘ fave series so I wanted to try it out. I‘m so glad I did! It was an addictive, very engaging and creative story! Lots of fun characters and faerie court drama (which I love) the storyline is a bit YA, but still keeps you engrossed. I will definitely continue with the rest of the series!

pickAislinn can see faeries. She has been taught to be very afraid should she ever be discovered. Rule #1 never attract attention to yourself. Aislinn is suddenly attracting a lot of attention. She is being followed and even approached by a fae in human form.
This was an interesting tale. It was different than the many other books I have read about the fae. It was an unorthodox romance as well. I am curious to see what happens in book 2.
pickRead this one back in 2012 as well. I fell in love with Aislinn and really enjoyed the story and how it played out And not at all the way I had thought! Really nice plot twist with this one.
I don't really have a favorite fantasy author, but I have been wanting to read Holly Black's novels.
Holly Black's favorite series is the Wicked Lovely series. I have always wanted to read this series, but never got around to reading. While continuing to read Ash by Malinda Lo, I've been in a bit of a mood to read some novels with fairies in them.
The book I want to read by Black is The Cruel Prince #agameoffavorites @ErinSueG @WhiskeyMistress
This picture is stunning and is all I want to do today! Too bad work gets in the way 😒
❤️💜💕🌈💝 I love y'all!
:D
pick🎧 I almost bailed on this one but I‘m glad I didn‘t! I didn‘t think 2 hrs was long enough to satisfactorily resolve all the issues but I was wrong. This story of a Summer Fae King in search of a queen, THE queen to help restore his power had unexpected challenges and resolutions, and strong female characters. I‘m not sold on Aislinn, the prospective queen being 18 years old, but still a good story. 🧚♂️🧚🏻♀️

🎧 Working on an extremely challenging research project
🎧 11 years, 1 month, 16 days
🎧 CR Tagged Book, contemplating whether or not to finish it (see prior post)
🎧 Me, sans makeup and after a studio session (behind me is my StudioBricks booth) and wearing my work cans and my favorite shirt: a long-sleeve Sea Dog Brewing Co tee
🎧 I‘m actually 2 hrs and 18 min away from finishing this audiobook and I could have done so last night or this morning; but I realized that there is no way everything that needs to resolved will be done so in the time remaining; that this is the first in a *continuing arc series*; that this does not stand alone. And all of the sudden I‘ve lost interest in going on. Whether I stop now or at the end of the audio, it‘s still not a finished story :-(
🎧 Starting this audiobook today: A YA dark fantasy about faeries: A Summer King searches for his Queen. There seems to be an unwilling candidate amongst the mortals....

pickI thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. The ending was predictable, but there were definitely places that I was surprised.
Aislinn was definitely something. Her decision was definitely unique. She got everything she wanted. :)
I would definitely recommend reading this book. I can't wait to read the others.

I loved the premise, it was what kept me reading tbh. It was a fresh idea that was very interesting but the execution let it down for me.
I really liked the style of writing, but the characters, their development and pacing were all off. At times too much focus on the inconsequential while skimming over things I wanted to explore more. I won't bother with the rest of the series. A shame. Gorgeous cover though! #romansty #osrbc
pickAn absolutely must audiobook. Trust me. Alyssa Bresnahan's performance is amazing. #audiobook #recommendsday @Liberty
I have a few favorite authors, Melissa Marr being one. It's been quite a few years since I've read this book. There was a challenge in a book group on facebook to reread a book and see how your opinion has changed. So, here I am reading this and hoping to finish this weekend.
It was her choice. In a world where so many choices weren't hers, it was a wonderful thing.
She was afraid, but she couldn't just sit around waiting for someone to save her. She had to try to save herself.
Mortals are such fragile things. Just tender feelings walking around exposed in their delicate shells.
pickFirst #TBT of the day! Obsessed doesn't even begin to cover it. I have an unhealthy infatuation with fairies & Melissa Marr is by far my favorite YA/Urban Fantasy author. Until I'm whisked away by a fairy king I'll just have to settle with reading about it.
so-soA lot of YA seems like it's marketed that way only because of the protagonist's age; the books themselves are universally appealing. This wasn't one of those. It was a quick, fun read but I would've enjoyed it a lot more if I was its target audience.
Do extremely dated references pull anyone else RIGHT out of the story?
