Welcome to Litsy!

Denton Little is about to die, but it‘s OK, he‘s always known his life will be short because everyone knows their deathdate. When a strange man appears at his funeral and a purple splotch on his leg goes rogue, Denton‘s carefully planned death festivities take a wild turn. I‘m glad I listened to this. The author does a great job with the narration, and I think the format kept me from taking it too seriously. A fun romp of a book! May #doublespin

I very much liked this. I lost track of the number of times I giggled or out right laughed. It is a YA book and pretty morbid, which is straight up my humor street.
I rarely read more than one book in a seriies but I am considering getting the next one, this one ends on quite the cliffhanger.

“‘Because all this...I mean, the SATs are not real.‘ I catch a glimpse of my parents, who are looking at me as if I just produced a shockingly huge fart.”

If you read and enjoyed Scythe, then you will probably also enjoy this novel. It was both a quick read and one that made it difficult to put down. I pretty much finished in the span of a day! Definitely going to have to pick up the sequel. #yalit #viloniareads #vhsreads

Breakfast and a book. #vhsreads #viloniareads #yalit

For the past week I have been helping our school librarian sort and add genre labels to books. This has resulted in many books being added to my TBR pile and today I decided to take a pic of a few...might be heading to summer check out! #vhsreads #viloniareads #schoollibrary #teachersoflitsy #tbr

Denton Little lives in a world where everyone knows when they Are going to die. His has always been known as the kid who is going to die his senior year.

I really enjoyed this book and was surprised at how much I liked it. It‘s a refreshing story that has been done in different ways with some hilarious moments spread throughout the story. Can‘t wait to read the next book.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Despite the ominous title, this is one of the most entertaining, humorous books I‘ve read in a while. Denton Little knows the day he will die, but when that day arrives, it proves more eventful than anticipated. Through it all, Denton adds comments full of lighthearted, gallows humor, and it was impossible for me not to enjoy it.

Book 3 for #SixBy6/6—finished on the 2nd.

Finished Denton Little‘s Deathdate on the plane to Hawaii. I really enjoyed this book. There was quite a bit of sexual content that I wasn‘t expecting. But still a great book!!

Very entertaining. Makes me want to read the next one

This book is too much! I love it!!! This is what goes through your head while attending your own funeral! I love the gallows humor in this. This book is so great!

Starting a new book, even though I have 2 other books to finish! Hmm can I finish this in 5 days before our trip to Hawaii?🧐

I suspect the cover change here was due to the space between publishing book 1 and book 2. #coverlove #changesedition

Was stuck between a so-so and pick for me. It fell flat in the middle but the ending picked up enough for me to pick up book 2
3.5-4 ⭐️

This one was soooo good! I thoroughly enjoyed it! Go check it out☺️

It's past 4:30am and I still cant sleep, so I'm starting another audiobook. 💤

I picked this book up during a reading slump and it may have hurt my enjoyment, because I didn't really like it. Denton Little is suppose to die at 17 and he's just trying to live a normal life until then. I didn't care for Denton, sure he's a nice guy at the end but a total jerk before that to his girlfriend and Veronica. I don't know, it was a cool concept but didn't like the execution I guess. Just not for me.

YA-lots of fun, interesting premise, good characters. Especially good for High School age.

Denton has always known he was going to die one day. In fact, he has always known exactly what day that would be—everyone does. But when his deathdate arrives, stuff starts to get really weird...and purple?

A truly bizarre book, but fun. The twisted humor is perfect for YA. Sometimes it seems like the world's just happening to Denton and character development takes a backseat to the never-ending mishaps, but overall it's a funny, unique read.

I started out my day listening to the first book in a James Patterson YA thriller series, Confessions of a Murder Suspect. It's good and I like the narrator, but I'm just not feeling it right now.

I switched over to Denton Little's Deathdate by Lance Rubin. I'm loving it so far! It's both funny and dark, a combination I enjoy. I'm taking this on the road with me as I do some errands.

Saturday morning's reading pile. I have a few things going, and I'm also working on a few reviews today. its going to be nice to catch up. But first, Hubby and I are headed to see Moana! 😸📚😸 #currentlyreading

I LOVED this book. Definitely one of my favs! Such an interesting story that keeps going strong. I didn't want it to end!

I love Paulo so much. And he and Denton are such great bros. I'm kind of obsessed with them 💕💥

It's rare a book makes me laugh, but this one does it! The plot is pretty unique too. I'm so excited about this book, and the audio is surprisingly good 😊

The concept for this book is simple: everyone knows the exact date they're going to die, and they know it almost from birth. Lance takes the idea into all kinds of goofy directions and even throws in a bit of a conspiracy storyline, too. It's a fun ride, and I can't wait for the second book. You might say I'm dying for it to come out. #DentonLittle #deathdate #DentonLittlesDeathdate #YALit #LanceRubin #youngadult #dyingyoung

I have a lot of catching up to do so here's two debut novels on my TBR! #debutnovels #booktober

I listened to this debut novel on audio last year, and so many months later I keep finding myself thinking about how great it is. Morbid, hilarious, and just surreal enough to keep me enthralled. I read it just after reading Me and Earl and the Dying Girl (by library hold list fate) and they complement each other splendidly. #booktober

Time for some YA with a side of goofy wiener dog.
