Welcome to Litsy!

4✨A retelling of Peter Pan and Wendy with a darker twist. We find that Wendy has a suppressed memory of what happened to her and her two brothers that went missing for a while. She returned, but her brothers did not. When more kids turned up missing her memories start to resurface. I really like the mysteries they uncovered even though it ended on a bit of a sad note. Read for #FairyTaleReadingChallenge March

Starting next. I have a sleeping Boon keeping me company for now. This was my November pick for the #FairytaleReadingChallenge (2024).

Very in character for me to read a Sleeping Beauty reimagining - the theme for February‘s #fairytalereadingchallenge at the end of March… it kept me company on the train from Canberra to Sydney. I love Alix E. Harrow and this was enjoyable BUT calling girls who love Cinderella best vanilla right at the start. Ouch! The Disney version features the art and colour palette of Mary Blair AND Gus Gus! 😐

I‘m pretty sure I read this as a teen but I just can‘t get into it now - I hate the writing style. Accepting that it‘s a BAIL because it‘s been more than a month since I picked it up. (I ended up reading a short story to meet the prompt instead) #fairytalereadingchallenge : January: Snow White & Rose Red

4✨ I‘m a big fan of this author for her retellings. When I was looking for a Snow White story for #FairytalereadingChallenge (Yes, I‘m behind) I found this. It followed most of what you would expect from a Snow White story, and I was on the edge of my seat just waiting for the step-mother to become the villain. It was at times a slow read and it twisted and turned to keep me reading.

January Wrap Up 📚❄️

Was able to finish five books in December.

Finished one for #FairytaleReadingChallenge
Finished three for #TwinPeaksReadingChallenge
Finished one for #SeriesLove2025

Still in Progress:
The Dark Descent
Deep

I chose this retelling of Snow White & the huntsman for the #FairytaleReadingChallenge this month. It‘s book 4 in a series & I haven‘t read the others yet. Although there are things from the previous books referenced, it didn‘t detract from my enjoyment of the story & it can be read as a standalone. I enjoyed this & plan on reading more in the series. 4⭐️
