Welcome to Litsy!

I expected more. Probably because not one but TWO booksellers at Waterstones recommended it, and also... the cover. It's great.

This was cosy and sweet, but with next to no plot. The "stories" were bland and basic, and I found it hard to be bothered.

Meh.

Didn't like this. It was, well, a bit rubbish really. There's no plot, just this single very good idea that is kinda cute & fun, I guess, but it goes nowhere & does nothing. A few predictable vignettes but nothing of substance. No conflict, no progression, no point. Just overly twee padding. Nicely written but, for me, it's empty, tedious & unsatisfying. Premise promises much but delivers a novel length blurb. I need a story!!!!

Shamelessly trying to import this trend from Insta. This is my post-cocktails Birmingham book haul 🍸💃

LIE THOSE BOOKS DOWN, LITSY! 🤣🤣

I had high hopes for this book and was convinced I was going to enjoy it after the first 50 pages or so but then it just fell flat for me. There were lots of nice moments in the book but it felt very disjointed and the switching of consciousness felt clunky to me. The main character Penny is nice enough but there is no substance to her and she just never quite gives the umph that you need from the leading lady.

Reading this one right now. Picked purely for the gorgeous bright cover! Currently unsure about the contents but it's early day.

What a dream-like book about the importance of dreams and a good night's sleep! Very moving once it comes to the dreamers' real life stories. The one about pet dreams might have been my favourite. Heart-warming, original and featuring an excited but adorably clueless MC who matches the reader's speed and wonder. And there's a second one coming!🤩

I already emersed myself into Korean literature last year and then some more, so this is my non-feasible reading stack for #foodandlit South Korea😅🇰🇷

In today‘s batch of new fiction - one of my most anticipated reads!

I should catalogue it… and not just sit at my desk reading it 🤔😇

It‘s the first of December already😱 insane how this year is almost over. According to my list of unread physical books I‘ve read… 4 books this year 😂😂 maybe next year I‘ll be better at not adding to the pile in the same pace I‘m reading- but before my bookbuying ban I HAD to get this one- look at the pretty cover😍 I hope the story is as lovely!
