Welcome to Litsy!

Leila, thank you so much for my #StuffedStockingSwap ! The mug and hot chocolate are perfect, and I don't even think I mentioned loving hazelnut but I do! I don't know how I haven't read either of these beautiful fantasy books yet but I'm so excited to have a good reason to now! Can't wait to use all the cute stickers in my journal, too. It's all perfect. Thank you so much @Catsandbooks and thank you @Avanders for putting this swap together!

After a fast start, & a very powerful author‘s note about the inspiration for the story, this YA fantasy, a tale of colonization, oppression, & rebellion never quite comes together even though it has many of the necessary ingredients—magic, technology, danger, romance. It‘s a book that evokes strong emotions—reading reviews on Goodreads is…something. This is the first in a series which I probably won‘t continue reading.

Started this one last night and so far, the story is as entertaining as the cover is gorgeous.

Nothing better than the arrival of a new book right before storms hit. The cover is awesome and the endpapers are something else! 😍
