It‘s #saturdaychatterday feel like a virtual coffee chit chat meet up? Here or on @AllDebooks page? or both?
My day is BUSY! I‘m working on having reasonable expectations and not getting/feeling overwhelmed.

kspenmoll I can sympathize with your feeling overwhelmed with too many expectations! Try & give yourself down times in between or do little thongs that refresh you! Thanks for all you do to keep this community going. Sending love . 💕 As for me, I hope to walk, read6, do some housework- then I am chaperoning at our next HS Homecoming dance! I love seeing the kids dressed up & dancing. (edited) 3d
inthegreensandblues Reasonable expectations 👍💚 I've got some important things on the to do list, but it's a gray, cozy autumn day and I'm starting it with reading time and candles and coffee. 3d
Avanders That‘s an important focus during the holidays! I already feel a bit overwhelmed 🫢 I‘m trying to allow myself to feel the excitement of the holidays, though, rather than stifling everything down in favor of the more practical aspects of living life… 🎄❄️♥️ 3d

This was a wild ride! I love character driven stories with solid world building- and my emotions were drawn in- this had some serious sections including violence and complex character development- i continue to be impressed with the series and am so glad im finally reading it!

Book 2 continues with Sophie learning more about the Elves, secret societies, developing found family and figuring out who she is. This MG fantasy continues to be a great read ❤️ I highly recommend for people who enjoy fantasy and are ok with teens as main characters.

I have very mixed feelings about this book. I did finish it but parts were just annoying. Parts felt tired. There were a couple characters i was curious about, and a few directions of the story i was also curious about. It‘s a very ppopular fantasy romantasy on goodreads- just not one i love. #hyggehourreadathon

PuddleJumper I kept seeing this and wasn't sure. It looks very romantasy 2w
Chrissyreadit @PuddleJumper If you want i can give you more specifics about what my opinion was- and yes it is romantasy. 2w
PuddleJumper @Chrissyreadit I don't really like romantasy. I'm generalizing but I find a lot of the popular ones trite and a bit toxic! 2w
Chrissyreadit @PuddleJumper Based on that i do not think this would be for you. 2w
PuddleJumper @Chrissyreadit My rule of thumb is if the cover is pretty, I probably won't like it 🤣 2w

My son has been asking me to read these for years…so i finally started- and Really enjoyed this MG fantasy quite a bit more than i expected. The protagonist is a mystery- where did she come from, who is she, what does she know? None of this is actually answered. The found family is complex and I thought the characters were well begun with so much room for growth.

#cbbc I mostly enjoyed this book- the setting, main character and mystery were all a win for me. There were a few too many extra characters that i felt spread things out a bit more than i like.
The part i liked most- I was inspired by the book to listen to the Sinead O‘conner version of Molly Malone and like everything she sings it was beautiful and a little heart breaking- but so glad to have listened to it ❤️

I only have this one on kindle at the moment- and it was my favorite of all of the books- although i do agree that one of the storyline/plot devices did not make sense to me. It was also a lot more spice than necessary IMHO - but also I loved Nesta‘s story arc. I loved the characters she became close to and seeing the growth in strength and connection.

Gissy Wow! You are a great inspiration to motivate anyone to read and complete the serie

I have this book on kindle, IRL and audio- and with my brain fog lifting (thanks to HRT) I decided to reread and see if i still enjoyed it - and I did. I love a Beauty and The Beast type story and really enjoyed the Fae and storyline. It made a huge difference having all three formats available.

Onyx Storm | Rebecca Yarros
post image

Rebecca Yarros adding teasers… and my countdown to book release. I love these books- but full disclosure- i read them twice- and realized a lot of the things that “bugged” me the first time - were not problematic the second time- instead i realized how much foreshadowing occurred! (A Lot) and that it was so much better the second time! and yes- i am currently OBSESSED ♥️ Anyone want to discuss second signet theories?

GingerAntics I know what it is. She told us it was all there in the books, and it is. I read it a second time and figured it out. I haven‘t found a single other person who has figured it out yet, though. Everyone seems stuck on the Liam thing. 1mo
Chrissyreadit @GingerAntics What do you think it is? I was leaning toward intuit or influence. 1mo
GingerAntics @Chrissyreadit Vi specifically pulls on Andarna‘s power when she does one thing. What is it? Andarna said she waited to be born to be Vi‘s dragon because of who she is. Tairn speaks to one half of who she is. Andarna the other half. It has already manifested itself, too, per Yarros. So just think about when she shuts out Tairn‘s power and when she pulls on Andarna‘s. 1mo
See All 7 Comments
Chrissyreadit @GingerAntics i‘ve considered amplifying or amplifying what she needs, but some of that occurred while Andarna was in her deep sleep. I think I‘m also very nervous about the cliffhanger that will occur in Onyx Storm because it will likely be 2 years until book 4. 1mo
GingerAntics @Chrissyreadit I know. I don‘t want to wait for the next book. It‘s been painful waiting this long. I‘ve even gone as far as to get the graphic audio versions of the two books that are out, just to tide me over. 1mo
GingerAntics @Chrissyreadit Vi pulls on Andarna‘s power when she creates runes. She is a rider and a scribe. Tairn‘s signet is her rider nature. Andarna‘s is her scribe nature. It‘s going to have something to do with building runes. I have a feeling she‘s going to rebuild the wards and/or make it possible to defeat the dark magic once and for all. If every time they defeat the wyvern she can put up new wards, then she can slowly push them out. We‘ll see. 1mo
GingerAntics @Chrissyreadit Yarros has an amazing way of finishing on a complete sentence, but making it feel like so just stopped mid sentence. It kills me every time. If I didn‘t need answers now, I‘d wait for the last 3 books to come out to continue. 1mo

Yes I flew through this book! No it was not perfect- but I did love it!! Magic, war, love, friendship, family, found family, dragons, It just checked a lot of boxes. I wish the editing had been tighter, the loopholes less loopy and the angst less angsty- but I absolutely pre ordered the third book- and also- am reading 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Also incase I don‘t mention it enough I love Litsy and my Litsy Family! This is the best community 😘

5feet.of.fury This series is so fun! Can‘t waitttt for the 3rd 2mo
LitStephanie I am halfway through and really struggling with the angsty love affair. I know they are young but not that young, for crying out loud, and shouldn't a year (or three) in the most brutal military college ever have caused these kids to gain some maturity? The hourly crisis marathon is fatiguing. It just seems like Yarros is trying to one-up the first book in terms of angst and action. What do you think? 3w
Chrissyreadit @LitStephanie This is going to sound odd- so i equated it with my enjoyment of twilight, and also read through it rather quickly- the first time. my mom was listening at a much slower pace on audio and so when i was listening I realized there is a lot of forshadowing and info i missed that added layers- and also a lot of this is Violet is smart but very naive and she is growing through it all. And even while angsty she does not stop trying to get 3w

Chrissyreadit @LitStephanie to the truth- It was so much more enjoyable for me by rereading . One more thing that also kept me engaged from the beginning is that i also have Ehler Danlos- and was a runner from age 8- but always had random pain and injuries- including an arthritis dx at 16. So for me it is very much representation of a lot of my younger life- running through pain, working through pain etc. So i will be curious to know what you think when you 3w

My dear sweet IRL friend @readingrainbowgirl gave me this stunning tarot deck yesterday as part of my birthday! (she joined litsy but is not posting due to grad school obligations 😩) If any one is a beginner or curious I highly recommend this deck! Also if inspired follow her so she has a jump start when real life reading can begin again 💛

marleed Happy Birthday!! 2mo

Sam is a mystery book store owner and writes historical cozy mysteries- she uses her writing to process and tease through clues in her real life mystery. Her grandma and cohort from the senior center are her partners in crime- and of course she has a lot of help from her fiancé,sister and Stinky Pitt- the cop she‘s often at odds with. I really enjoy this cozy series.

MallenNC I like this series too! I need to pick it back up. 2mo

Another solid pick in the series. I did just realize i missed the one before so that answered my gap in events that i blamed on brain fog 🤣🤣🤣

Avanders 🤣 I could totally see how that could happen! 🫢 2mo

Mystery and mayhem in England. This is a solid cozy series for me- especially when my brain is foggy- just fun mystery and likable characters.

PuddleJumper That looks adorable! 2mo

I had forgotten how much i love the world of Mercy Thompson- and this was a great reminder. also kind of a gift to have a few books to read in this world. What‘s not to love about shape shifters, fae, magic and mystery? I finished this about a month ago.

I have been determined to read this since last year- I have a hardcover edition, a kindle edition and audio edition. And yes I am glad- My obsession feels a little like Twilight. Some holes in the story. Some things that annoyed me (why is there not an original calendar?) but I loved it…. all of it. Also i‘ve read 3 books this week!!!! My brain fog may be lifting finally 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Bookwormjillk Yay for lifting brain fog!! 2mo
AmyG 3 books! 👊🏻 2mo

Loved this!!! Family is funny- I could hear the Irish voices in my head- I did not figure out the mystery- although i probably could have if i tried- I want to read all of the books in this series!! #cbbc
