Welcome to Litsy!

I am having a very slow reading week - lots of other projects going on - but FINALLY finished my first book for the #BacklistReadathon !! This wasn't my favorite Shalvis book by a long shot - it's borderline so-so for me. I liked the actual story and the characters, but way too much of this was just Maddie and Jax lusting for each other and acting like it's a horrible betrayal that the other hasn't shared all their deep-dark secrets despite the⬇️

I think this is the author‘s writing style for me, I don‘t like those characters at the beginning of these stories. Taylor bring out the worst qualities of a human being and then...everything changes. Another one I was going to put down. I‘m glad I didn‘t. It could be boring but if you put your mood like this is the story and gossips of this band and see that some of these stories can a happen in a real band, you would like it. 3.8⭐️⬇️

It was nice to catch back up with my favorite ka-tet. To pass the time while stuck in a storm, Roland tells the story of how he and Jamie were sent to deal with a skin-man when he was younger. And then his younger self tells the story of Tim and his journey.
I had the audiobook which King narrates himself. I highly recommend that anytime King narrates one of his own books that you pick that version 💚

This year I'm trying to branch out on my reading & this cover is really helping. Also the story is pretty hot as well. Good girl meets bad boy, both have troubled/horrible pasts & both need each other for a better future. Mostly it's about the cover though ❤️‍🔥

I loved this book. Robin is saved from cholera by Professor Lovell. Lovell raises him to become a translater at Babel, the institute at Oxford that enchants silver to the benefit of the British Empire (the crown & the aristocracy). There Robin meets Ramy, Letty & Victoire. They become like family & then Robin meets his real half brother, who opens his eyes to the real power of Babel.

Finished this one on Thursday. This was an interesting story. It mentions fairytales and what usually happens in the tales. Marra lives at a nunnery and is very naive. She learns her sister, married to a prince is being abused. So she sets out to save her. She rounds up a group of people and a bone dog and they journey across to try and kill the king.

I have a ton of holds out from the library so I had to finish this one early.

It took me a bit to believe their relationship and I don‘t think I actually agree. And I didn‘t realize she was only 20. They both have such an awful past (a lot darker than I usually like to read). But it‘s a romance so it ends happily ever after. And I‘ve never read a boxing romance before, so that was interesting.

This book matches twelve goddesses with the twelve signs of the zodiac. It's quite insightful. The stories of the goddesses are followed by rituals and meditations for each sign.

Ginette has had a breakdown and is now in a new place. And with few to no other distractions she starts neighbor watching. The whole thing is very Rear Window.

Bk10 of #JumpStart2023 is done! Probably the last book of this month too. It‘s really bk11 as I reread the audiobook of Dune while I was recovering over the weekend, but I thought reading it twice in a month was too much☺️Loved this just as much as the 1st time I read it, was crying at the end as well, must be feeling soft from feeling like shit. I honestly think this series is Maas‘ best so far, even outdoes ACOTAR for me. 5⭐️ #BookspinBingo👇
