Welcome to Litsy!

This is the second book by Virginia Woolf that I've tried. And I'm sorry to say I just don't like her writing energy. At points it felt frantic and chaotic and I had to put all my mind-power to work to stay with the story.
I just feel that I've worked way too hard for this little book.

I have to start by saying I LOVE Jesse Vilinsky's narration!
She truly brought the story to life. Would love to get more of her work.

As for the story...
Antsy's is a tough one to tell, but McGuire does it great justice. And as always takes us to a place so wonderfully magical that you wish you could find your door.
I can't wait to see how Antsy will fit into the future of Wayward Children.

Didn't enjoy this one as much as the first one.
At first it dragged and then the ending felt rushed and a bit incomplete. I'd like it if I could have joined Nicolas in his final voyage. Not just get a one paragraph summary of it. In fact I feel it could have been a whole book on its own.

I absolutely loved this book. I'm so glad that I finally read it. Edward Dantes is wrongfully thrown in prison, but after almost 2 decades, he escapes. He then finds hidden treasure and then goes after the people who wronged him 🖤

Another February #roll100 title finished in March.

In anticipation of watching Amazon Prime‘s Daisy Jones & the Six series when it released, I wanted something to get me in the mood without expressly rereading Daisy. This was just the ticket! Some similar themes here of rock ‘n roll, dealing with fame and music and art. There‘s also drugs and addiction, along with mental health all rolled into various ways these things influence people. ⬇️

Adding #PinkCosmos, #PeachPink, #LeekGreen and #VanillaCream for the #Pantone2023 challenge 🌈

So interesting, so good. All about the movies during the silver screen heyday. Loretta Young, Clark Gable, Myrna Loy, Spencer Tracy, and more! Trigiani does a great job of weaving the true story lines we know with the movie making stories we don‘t. I really enjoyed the set painting, artistic and religious elements too. #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks Great on #audio #Pantone2023 #LeekGreen @Clwojick

Another one for #Pantone2023 #LeekGreen @Clwojick

This was written in ‘92 before Dark Academia really existed, but it‘s widely considered the novel that started the genre, and still makes most “best of” lists for the genre. It does a great job of capturing the heightened whirlwind of youth, and personifying its most sinister aspects. #Pantone2023 #LeekGreen #Booked2023 #GiftedByALitsyUser #JoyousJanuary @Clwojick @alisiakae @Cinfhen @BarbaraTheBibliophage @Andrew65 @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks
