Welcome to Litsy!

Another case of judging a book by its cover, which in the version I clicked buy on was a wax thumbs up. Possibly the most alliterative main character name, Poppy Palladino. About a town around a candle factory, where something fishy is going on. I didn't feel particularly invested in any of the characters. It's got a bit of a sci-fi bend to it, but it wasn't for me.

I know I've already posted this quote but I'm also using it as my #ReadersResist mantra for the week. It's definitely worth keeping in mind.

Overall, this is a quick read with just enough humor to keep it interesting. I liked Poppy, even though her level of self-absorption might be annoying to an adult. What else can you expect from a high school student? Dud was a well-developed character too. Now, back to reading for #LitsyAtoZ, and other various challenges.

A fellow Litten posted this as a book they enjoyed (along with several others I have also acquired from the library) and I'm being sucked in. Le sigh...I really need to continue my attack on my #LitsyAtoZ lists unabated.

If you're in the mood for something funny, bookseller Katie recommends Wax by Gina Damico! #indiebookstore #fountainbookstore #fpuntainrecommends

Interesting concept, but the plot was a little thin and there wasn't much character development. I also had a hard time believing her her parents were that gullible. A fun quick read overall.

🌟#halloween is my favorite holiday and it's getting closer! Woo hoo! I'm excited for all of the Halloween things planned for this weekend.🌟 #candycorn #october #black #orange

Funny, quirky characters and creepy wax imposters. Some really clever things here-- will have to check out more by Damico 😱💀👻🎃

Paraffin, Vermont, is known as home to the Grosholtz Candle Factory. But behind the sunny retail space bursting with overwhelming scents and homemade fudge, Poppy Palladino discovers something dark and unsettling: a back room filled with dozens of startlingly life-like wax sculptures, crafted by one very strange old lady...

This sounds very interesting! Like a movie I saw once about a whole town that was populated by wax figures.
