I am taking a break from Litsy.Most people on here are awesome and it was a fun app,. I used to feel like this place was for anyone who read but lately I see a bunch of people telling others how they should read, or bagging on people for grammar. It‘s not everyone but the people who have the most Litfluence and followers seem to be the worst. It is not everyone of these people but it is enough of them. (See comments)

I was really hoping this was going to be good. I bailed after the main character was grinding in a club looking to make out with someone. I like it when stories are re-told and add things like “in space”. But this was lacking. I think some people would find it entertaining so I say give it a try it just wasn‘t for me. The cover is beautiful this photo doesn‘t do it justice.

This weekend is my Birthday and I need recommendations for a Birthday Book. I am looking for dark fantasy with romance. I like character driven magical worlds. Fairy tale retelling are always good. Let me know what you all think would be a good birthday book.

First I want to tell all the haters of typos and other imperfections don‘t read this book. This book is independently published and though I have seen more typos in traditional published books, there are a couple in the book. The story is sweet and can be a little slow at times, but I liked the new take on this Greek Myth. Hades is a good guy who cares about his realm. (more in comments)

Thank you for this awesome give away @bookandcat #32kgiveaway

Thanks for the tag @megzlynn
1) kindness
2) selfishness
3) she knows who she is and where the bodies are hidden so I don‘t dare say her name
4) um everyone! Someone random please answer this and tag me in your answers so I can read them 😊

Tagged book is my current read, but I wanted to show off my new sleeve from Story Time on Etsy. 😍

To my pen pals. I am sorry I have not written in a while. The last several months have been very rough. I may not be able to write for a while but you are in my heart and I send positive energy your way. Stay awesome and thank you for writing to me and being my pal.

So I have been on Litsy for a whole year. It‘s been awesome. Thank you @GondorGirl and @jpmcwisemorgan for introducing me to Litsy. Wish I could have gone to GenCon this year. Love to all of my Litsy family you make this the best part of my day.

I am looking for recommendations for gothic or paranormal mysteries. They can be thrillers and they can be whodunnits. What I really want is creepy and dark with murder and mystery. Again paranormal and magic are great. Thank you in advance.

Why oh why did I believe the hype. This book is so boring!! I hate endless descriptions and bland characters and this book had all of that plus some. I did skip to the last twenty pages the end was ok. A little too long and repetitive. I firmly believe that a thriller needs to start being thrilling by the 20% mark or you risk losing your audience. The most action that happened by 20% in this book was a fall in the lobby. So not thrilling.

Looking for a book sleeve, where do you all find them? My library books need protecting when they are in my work bag.

I enjoyed this book it was fun. I guessed the killer right away, and spent so many pages yelling at the MC. The writing is not Harris‘s best but like I said it was fun. Some people said this was dark, I disagree. I found this very cozy.

Awesome giveaway @kellyann28 thanks for the chance to get this book. I just re-read Shalador‘s Lady by Anne Bishop. I love this story and have re-read it many times. Not sure why I love it so much but I do.

This was a DNF for me. If I get more than 100 pages in and you are still setting the scene I am out. If you are writing about a secret and dead bodies get to the mystery quickly. I did not pick up the book to@read multiple tarot card readings, or about the MC‘s indecision. Don‘t give me overlong descriptions of the weather places that will not mater later (like the MC‘s flat). (More in comments)

Started this last night 30 pages left. I love it! The pacing is great and the characters are both grounded and just over the top enough to make me smile. I am a huge Murder She Wrote fan and this feels like a cousin or older sister of those stories. ❤️

I am looking for some good Noir and or paranormal noir. Any suggestions?

So I am not big into doing these because of my anxiety. I will not be tagging anyone else because I don‘t want others to go through what I do. (Yes tagging people in things like this can cause anxiety) I am not calling anyone out I am glad people think of me as a fav litten it helps manage the anxiety
1. Action
2. See tagged book— love it by the way
3. Yes so I try not to read them before I read the book
4. I love covers they can draw me in

This photo is of my co-worker/friend. When I told her this show was a book she said she has to get it and read it. We call two different stores, but I found it on the Walmart app. My hours are earlier than hers so she texted me when she got home. It was too good of a picture not to share here. She is a Litsy natural I am still trying to talk her into getting the app. Also, comment if you can find the cat 🐱.

This was so-so for me. Just as it was getting good it ended. The build up takes forever for a little tiny bang. It is like a bottle rocket. It felt like I was reading a TV show but then the writer has written for Doctor Who. There was some hype about this book but I feel it was just meh. Maybe too short? I feel let down.

Thank you @laurenslibrary for the #llchillinggiveaway!

I want to give a big hello and welcome to my friend and the best librarian @Shel.f so glad you are here!

Thank you for this awesome giveaway @Kayla.Adriena . Check out the #SpringHasSprungGiveAway !

Had to read this for book club. It is utter crap! Garbled rantings and fantasy of a 13 year old boy. I had high hopes but like most sci-fi from this time the heavy handed symbolism and lesson teaching was a total turn off. Why can‘t more sci go be like Star Trek you know discovering new thing, meeting new people, and adventure. Hitchhiker‘s Guide style that‘s what I want. I need to go wash the taste of this out of my mouth!

I am a member of a library book club where we alternate between Sci-go, Urban fantasy, and fantasy. So far I have hated all of the Sci-fi books they pick because they are all dystopian and all super misogynistic. I think it is because they were all written in the sci-fi peak of the 1960s. Do any of you know newer sci-fi that is not dystopian and is not misogynistic?(more)

Anne Bishop always gets me in the feels. Loved this book as much as the others ❤️ won‘t say more because of spoilers. But it is good!

Thank you @RamsFan1963 so many books to buy 😊but this is the first one. I got it from the library but I am going to buy my own copy 😊😊😊😊

I need some help finding an author who writes books like Anne Bishop‘s Black Jewel ones. I like dark romantic fantasy but some of the authors focus on the romance and let the plot dangle. Anyone have any suggestion? The photo is of my handsome boy Han Solo

@ElizaMarie look what I got today! Thank You so much it brightened my month! It‘s been really hard for the last 4 weeks so this was nice. I will be reading it as soon as I can. I will also start writing more since things are starting to settle down

Today I say my final goodbye to the woman who introduced me to the magic of the library. My beautiful and amazing Aunt Jane. She introduced me to many things and taught me to ride a bike. she spent countless hours with my cousins and me. Taking us on day trips and just doing things with us. My heart is breaking so much. My family doest want anything said on social media, but they don‘t read so it‘s safe to share with my Litsy family

Congratulations and thank you @RamsFan1963

#10K1stAnniversarygiveaway

I got into Litsy because I was waiting in line to meet Mercedes Lackey and I got to talking to a few Littens and they talked about how great Litsy is. It was in August of 2018. Thanks again @GondorGirl and @jpmcwisemorgan and @knittedgnome

So I am the first person at the library to read this. Thanks to the Best Librarian! She knows I am going through a rough time right now, and knew this would be a good pick me up. Bless her and keep her and her family happy and healthy.

Now nothing will get done and all other books will have to wait.

My favorite place is Kaeleer from the Black Jewels series by Anne Bishop. Why? Because of the kindred! And magic and stuff, bust mostly the Kindred.

Thank you @GondorGirl for the cool give away #GiGiBookBox

Congratulations! What a great milestone 😊 thank you for the give away @TheSpineView

#50KLoveLitsy giveaway

#completetheseries congratulations @Mitch on your milestone. My favorite series is actually The Black Jewels by Anne Bishop but I have read all the books at least twice. My other favorite series is The Others by Anne Bishop. Her new book comes out on March 5 it‘s called Wild Country. I love her writing style and the twist she puts on monsters.

This book started off strong, but around the 45-50% mark it slowed to a crawl. The scenes started to repeat over and over again. At first they would seem like different scenes but in the end they were the same. Unfortunately, this made me skim the last 50 pages. I think the end would have been really good if it hadn‘t taken so long to get there. I have little intreat in reading the second book.

This book is never going to end. I am not saying this because it has a lot of pages I am saying this because omg the story just won‘t end! There have been several places to end it but it just keeps going, and going, and going. This is not a good thing as it is now dragging so badly I have to force myself to keep reading. It‘s sad because the book started out strong but the repetition is starting to get to me.

I am like the hyenas in the Lion King getting all shivery and giggly as I read this book. Oooohhh 🥰

I know I am ridiculous, but I don‘t care 🤗.

So here is my best friend and the love of my life! He is a rescue dog with a dubious past. He may have stolen a star ship, and there was definitely some theft from garbage cans. This is Han Solo we call him Solo. He owns my heart and most of the bed ❤️

So I couldn‘t wait any longer. I have about an hour before the D&D group shows up.

Valentine‘s date with this guy😱. I need a break from YA for a little bit. I read about this book in Save the Cat Writes a Novel and I can‘t stop thinking about it. BTW Save the Cat Writes a Novel is a wonderful book. Let‘s see if this can keep my attention. Also, don‘t you all just love my car‘s seat cover! 😜

Congratulations @Crazeedi 🎉 ! I love Litsy. The first book I remember reading is Sideways Stories from Wayside School. I got to share it with my now teenage stepson. He loved it as much as I did when I was a kid. Thanks for this giveaway it gave me a fun trip down memory lane. #20kgiveaway

Check out this giveaway #EndoTrialbyFiregiveaway. Brought to you by @Endowarrior21 (US Based)

This book is pretty good. I wish there was something less than pick but more than so so. The pacing of this book is a little off as I found it to be very interesting then it would start to drag. At times it felt like two different stories shoved together. But it was a pleasant and easy read. If you‘re looking to be entertained this is a good book for that.

Congratulations @Nessavamusic and thanks for the #20K1KGIVEAWAY. A book I want but don‘t own is The Cruel Prince

Yay my #JustABookSwap arrived! I giggled when I opened it and saw the tagged book. So excited @madamereadsalot1 you picked great! Thank you so much. Is your user name the same on good reads? Just asking so@I could send a friends request. Can‘t wait to start this one, sadly I will prolly have to wait until the weekend. At least I can say my weekend is booked 😝

@TheBookKeepers thank you for hosting.

Yay book mail! Thank you @ElizaMarie I have not read this book but I can‘t wait to! Also, the note pads and book are so cute. I really needed this pick-me up! You rock 🤗

Sent out my #JustABookSwap today. Should get there by Saturday but we have bad weather by us so I would think it would be Monday. Thanks @TheBookKeepers for getting this together.

Nope, I should have just passed. The best part of this book was between pages 50-150 everything else was just Alice in Wonderland. Btw I hate Alice in wonderland so this was not a good book for me. There was way too much going on. There were hints of clockwork, dark fairy tales, getting stuck in fairy world. Too much! Also, the description were way over the top and there was too much of it! Please leave some to the imagination.

Well I was enjoying this book. Key word here is “was”. This book started off really slow and then got good and just when I was think yay it‘s going to get better it got super slow and boring. Note to all authors out there please do not take a paragraph to describe things and do not spend pages and pages using flowery descriptive words it really takes away from reading. I am sure there are books omg there where RBI‘s is good but not this one.
