Welcome to Litsy!

While I loved The Seven Year Slip, this one did not make the cut for me. Off my shelf and onto my PangoBooks shelf!

The story definitely has a Disney-esque fairytale feel to it. Clearly she‘s is a huge Disney fan—from the title to the animal friends, the curse, and all of the Disney easter eggs, like:

“But can you imagine? Me, dancing with that boorish, brainless. . ."

I skimmed most of it & never missed anything.

Book 7 for #wyrdandwonder

#5JoyFriday

1. Visited several indie bookstores in Denver including the tagged
2. Found Boulder is the home to Liberty Puzzles, family-owned wooden puzzle company & toured their factory!
3. Visited the Denver Botanical Gardens Chatfield Farms & met a little friend on the trail
4. Hiked Flatirons & had incredible views of Boulder & Denver
5. Had the entire row to myself on my flight from DEN to ORD
Bonus: having a blast with #wyrdandwonder

The story is both sad & hopeful, full of the magic & wonder of nature. Yes, there is witch magic, but it's so interconnected with the world. I found that simply beautiful. Having lived in the PNW, I could feel myself in that old growth forest, which does have a magic, turning her fear & anxiety into hope & even joy. Although I knew how the story would end, I loved seeing how things played out.

Book 8 for #AwesomeApril
Book 3 for #wyrdandwonder

I took off the dust jacket to start reading it & look at this cover! So pretty!

This is next up on my #wyrdandwonder TBR!

This was a brilliant tale. It's Gothic with some Neil Gaiman and a little Labyrinth mixed in.
Olivia has been growing up in an orphanage until she receives a letter from her uncle, who wants her to return to the family home, Gallant.

May was a big reading month. I read all but one of the novellas/books of The Murderbot Diaries (the last one is still on my holds list). I read both May spins and a past one. There‘s only one bingo, but I‘m really proud of this month.

I read faster than I wrote reviews. Apologies in advance for the slew of reviews I‘ll be posting.

I liked how cozy this was to read, and I liked characters. Mostly. Some of them are annoying but that's also humane.

This was really light read, I enjoyed this more than previous ones. Usually there is so many unnecessary pages but his was short - so even though there wasn't that much happening in this one either it was so much more bearable.

I love antiheros and this book's antohero MC didn't make an exception. I also liked monastery as setting.

I loved atmosphere, secrets and politics but this book dragged so so badly! Blurp of this book is enough to tell you what happened in this book. This was clearly the first book in the series that's only purpose was to build everything ready for the next installment.

Really fun read, plot wasn't the best part of the book but you forgive quite much if you love the characters and the world.

This book had so much action! Chapters were short and often ended with a cliffhanger. Still this managed to dragg a bit because there were some unnecessary scenes or too long minor scenes.
