Welcome to Litsy!

#ChristmasCrimeChallenge #FamousDetective - because, you know, it says so in the cover. Kind of.

Listened to this on audio, which was absolutely the way - and enjoyed it thoroughly. Might even try the next in the series. 12-year-old Stephanie inherits her uncle‘s house. And before you know it, she‘s hanging out with a living skeleton, saving the world. Lots of laughs, some really quite scary bits, and a way-too-long fight scene. Fun, though.

I‘ve always wanted to read this book and thankfully my husband had an old copy. I knew it was dark, and right away I noticed similarities between it and the series Yellowjackets. This book is banned, but of course it shouldn‘t be. It‘s an important coming of age story with the real world horrors that can take place when young boys are left to their own devices (with a taste for violence). Too much testosterone on this island for me!

Having read some dystopian young adult novels, I must say The Maze Runner is weaker conpared to other ones. The characters don‘t have the chance to be developed and already everything is falling into pieces. I didn‘t get as absorbed as I normally do. It will be the first ans last book of the series for me.

Finishing up a lazy long weekend with a cozy comfy blanket and a big fat kids book feels just right.

I am completely lost with the #RiordanverseReadalong. I've not been enjoying the books the way I thought I would. I would still like to try the Apollo books since I did enjoy his Greek series the most

I'll put them up as buddy reads over on SG but I'm not going to be doing monthly things here. I don't want to pressure myself to read them in case I hate them! 🤣

As a kid I was obsessed with this book and kept wishing for an enchanted woods near my place!

…when a gust of wind carries off her umbrella, it leads Lina down a secret path between the trees to a strange and incredible world…

I got into this shortly after complaining I wasn't getting into it, and oof, what a ride. This certainly goes places. I feel like the relationship between Shane and Marguerite was more background than e.g. Piper and Galen, so that I found it less strong mattered less, ultimately.

? I was pretty certain that was what was going to happen with "Ian", but ah, still, poor Wren.

I just finished the second Percy Jackson book! I definitely enjoyed it and the plot twist was crazy. Looking forward to read the next book
