Welcome to Litsy!

Buying books and reading books are two completely different hobbies 😬

#FeelinTheLove

Three cozy & witchy “potion” titles from my TBR There‘s got to be a #LovePotion in at least one of them. ♥️✨🧪

I will only say the ending was a touch anticlimactic but otherwise it was a good read. Very creative and enjoyable I liked this take on the sleeping beauty story. First book I've finished in a while, I feel proud of myself even if it was just a novella.

I loved this book so much! It had wonderful character development and great plot. It was also pretty funny. I love Apollo, he‘s such a dork!

I wonder if this novel would have hit me quite like it did if I'd read it before January 20, 2025. Because right now it feels practically prophetic. But in addition to being prophetic, it's also a beautiful story of persevering through hardship and maintaining integrity (defined in this case as acting in alignment with one's core values) in a world geared towards profit and self-interest at all costs. #tob25 longlist

EURGH, am I glad it‘s over. I had to walk away and read a whole other book in the middle of this one, and while I usually enjoy Klune it was just not for me at all. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn‘t abstract from why Art is in her physical form (which makes every cute thing she does AWFUL), and the “gay subplot” was awkwardly done. This is thematically like if “Cerulean Sea” was written by toddlers and it just felt so hammy in the end.

Two years ago, my dad brought it for me. I haven‘t started reading it because I‘ve been reading never lie.

More dragons, less romance, fantastic action; I enjoyed it much more than Fourth Wing. I liked the device she used in the last part of the book allowing us to see the battle through different eyes, each in a separate short chapter. The cliffhanger ending clearly means there‘s another book coming.
