Welcome to Litsy!

Aspen quick has a special ability, he can reach into someone and steal their innermost things like fears, memories, and scars. A ancient old family magic that Aspen doesn‘t completely understand.

This book was ok. I liked the paranormal part of it but didn‘t really connect with Aspen. I wish we would gotten more of his interactions with his friends after they found out.

⭐️⭐️⭐️

To the southwest was the Hill, a weird lump of land that looked like it had once wanted to grow up and be a real mountain, but had forgotten to eat its vegetables along the way.

The perfect read this morning while I wait for my oil change and car checkup to be completed.

An interesting story about family and choices with magic intertwined. I think it was a pretty good story about struggling with decisions.

#blameitonLitsy 🙈 well now, how did these books arrive in my mailbox?

(Actually, Vicarious might have been from the Unshelved book club - I love their reviews! It's a nice little bonus after reading the weeks Unshelved comics) #somethingforsept

This was totally awesome. Aspen is part of a magical family. They can reach into other people and take things - thoughts, feelings and even physical aspects of the person. They perform regular rituals to appease the cliff so it won't fall down and wipe out the town below - at least that is what Aspen has always been told. Then Aspen learns there is something a lot more sinister going on. Great characters with plenty of snark!

This has moved from an interesting story of morality into a really scathing social commentary. Awesome!

BEST.

Monthly recap. Not so great. Definitely room for improvement. I read nothing super stellar, but liked the Seanan Maguire Velveteen book a lot for all the issues it explored. #Augustofpages #bookphotochallenge Day 31

At our happy place with coffee and hot chocolate, books, @gibblr and @JaimitaPR -- Life is good!

A fun, fast coming of age story, with creepy-assed Magic and some twists. A great summer quick read.

Sometimes you have to wait 15 hours til you can get to your happy place.

Saturday night with The Dude.

Afternoon reading.

I've known Lindsay for years, full disclosure! I loved her two other books, but was very mixed about this one because I couldn't stand the narrator. But the book is amazing once everyone calls him out, & the ending is amazing. ETA: full review at mrskaoreads.com

Started this book really hating the narrator, but I'm so glad I stuck with it because ohhh is shit getting real.

This one is going on my list. Has anyone read it?

Aspen Quick steals things people never miss. Or so he tells himself as he mines memories for their owners' feelings, ambitions, and dreams. I enjoyed this odd little book and its arrogant MC; the ending could've been a bit punchier, but the narrative voice is humorous and overall, a very fun book.

Well-written, unique magical premise. I think fans of Holly Black's Curseworkers trilogy will really like it. I also like how it's a very feminist book (with a male protagonist!) without calling attention to the fact.

"Call me at the bookstore when you want to buy your first Jonathan Franzen book." ⬅️ Best insult ever. ???

Hahahaha this happens to me on average at least once a week. "Boy appeal" is sexist talk.

I'd like to nominate this book for best first chapter.
