Welcome to Litsy!

The oaths they swore were to the French crown, but her oath was to her kingdom alone.
She knew in her heart it would make her a better ruler.
And they all lived happily ever after. . . .

By sentencing writer Hossein Shanbehzadeh to 12 years in prison—merely for tweeting a period—Iranian authorities demonstrate the absurdity of their attempts to silence writers and critics. We urge the Tehran court to quash Shanbehzadeh's conviction.

Iran has jailed the second-most writers in the world for their expression.

Orella had come to the castle cloaked in the skin of an old beggar woman.
She had cast a pitiable figure by design—hooded, wrapped in rags, and soaked to the bone by the sleet that fell like daggers from the blackened sky.

This was a great read. It was definitely an interesting continuation of the original Beauty and the Beast story. It was impressive to see the characters grow even more from this story. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Love a disney retelling so looking forward what kind of twist gets put on beauty and the beast this time.

It's 1789 and France is on the brink of revolution. Belle has finally broken the Enchantress's curse, restoring the Beast to his human form and bringing life back to their castle in the province of Aveyon. But in Paris, the fires of change are burning, and it's only a matter of time before the rebellion arrives on their doorstep.

I am a sucker for all things Beauty and the Beast related. This book is about Belle and her husband Lio (the beast.). It is 1789 and France is on a brink of a revolution. She is trying to get used to her new life of being married to a prince. When she stumbles across a magic mirror and sees the what is in store for their kingdom and it isn‘t good. Lio decides to be king but Belle doesn‘t trust his cousin. What will happen to Belle and Lio?

#bookmail No spend January is out the window but I‘m too excited to be mad at myself 😅 , also wanted a few twisted tales for the #fairytalereadingchallenge 🤩

Thank-you @ferskner 😊 I‘ve been wanting to read this one ever since I first heard about, and these Lindor balls are delicious!! 🎄 #littlechristmasswap Thanks for hosting this swap @bookish_wookish

HELP PLEASE. I had these bought for me by @TheWolfbehindTheEyes for my birthday. They'd been left outside by the delivery man and someone had opened my parcel to see if its worth stealing. They then left it open to the rain and my books are now completely wavy from the damaged. I've tried putting weight down on them but that hasn't helped. ANY IDEAS PLEASE ❓❔❓😔 Thank you 📚❤📖

Just got this in the mail from a book exchange. Any thoughts (without spoilers)? I'm seeing it's a series and debating on diving into it. Thanks in advance!
