Welcome to Litsy!

This one was ok. I‘m definitely interested to see where the next one leads but I was a bit bored for most of this first installment.

While I‘m often reluctant to read anything with a romantasy label attached - I ended up really enjoying this.

It‘s got a very modern vibe in an otherwise fantastical, somewhat historical European setting. I loved how enterprising both sisters were & how they came to reconcile their history to their present circumstances & I do love an unconventional happy ending.

I‘m quite tempted to find myself a copy of Angela Carter‘s The Bloody Chamber…

“Henry Smith‘s father told him that if you build your house far enough away from Trouble, then Trouble will never find you.”

Just finished THIS IS NOT A TEST🧟‍♂️🧟‍♀️. It‘s now one of my fave zombie apocalypse books, my first @summerscourtney Excited for the movie adaptation on Feb! Will also bump Sadie on my TBR!

I‘ve been a fan of the Walking Dead🧟but I‘m one of those who paused watching it when Neegan killed Glenn. I just continued watching Season 7 last week.

Also stitching Rengoku and Kageyama tonight!

Happy weekends!!!

#Celebrate LockedRmMystery This song is about how we put on a facade because we have insecurities to hide. I feel like a locked room mystery does the same. Sara McLachlan released this song in 1997. @Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

“Live in the darkness too long, and eventually you won't recognize the light”

The climax to the series.

I was a bit confused at first, as quite a lot seems to have happened between the previous book and this one. The final battle went on for a bit too long for my tastes but then I'm not a boy in his early teens. A very satisfactory ending after the battle, though.

Bodies fell from the sky like stars that had lost their grip on the galaxy.

Quite different from The Giver. But still a not quite normal place. I feel like there is so much more behind the curtain of the dysfunction…

This one was mostly just fighting, but it did introduce some new people who are quite interesting
