Welcome to Litsy!

This was such a cute middle grade book!

The book had excellent themes which were appropriate for the age range (ages 8+). It centered around friendship and teamwork. I loved that they were a ragtag basketball team and that each member brought something special to the team.

The characters were adorable. I loved Bermudez.

I can't say enough about Mary Stone. I came across her looking for something to listen to before I had to go some place or another. I listened to the first in the Winter's Black Series and was enthralled. The Autumn Trent Series is a spin-off of the Winter Black Series. I am called that the ones from the Winter Black Series show up in Autumn Trent's.

After Autumn's last case, she is soon on her way with the team to Florida. Someone ⬇️

🤓😁Well, let‘s just say, I won‘t be long before I start book 3 (Chain of Thorns).

Sequel to Hattie Big Sky - San Francisco 1919. Hattie moves to Frisco with the dream of success as a news reporter…

4.6⭐️ If you have not read Kingfisher yet, just do it. I have truly enjoyed everything I have read by her, and this is no exception. Add on the fact that this is a retelling of the House of Usher by one of my all-time favorites, Edgar Allen Poe, and you have this perfect blend of edgy, Gothic, unsettling, yet beautiful, descriptive horror. #Fabel #RoaringWolfFrightNight #BookSpinBingo #DoubleSpin

I would not have picked this up if not for #popsugar26 (a book with a shadow daddy) but I was hooked! And that‘s surprising only because I‘m not much of a fantasy or romantasy reader. The romance was a slow build up, which I prefer over instalove. Also, the twist at the very end was awesome and in no way did I see it coming!

Silly me meant to take a picture yesterday while we actually had a fire going. Instead, here's our empty fireplace 😂 ANYWAY book 3 + companion for the Chronicle of Ixia. There's a lot going on here as a bunch of threads are wrapped up for the trilogy (the Chronicles consist of three interlocking trilogies, plus a crapton of short stories). It gets intense, but also feels like the pace suddenly slows way, way down right at the end. Still, very ⬇

Happy and Majik Monday🩷🩵💙
