Welcome to Litsy!

#scarathlonphotochallenge Day 1 Black cover and by Holly Black. Maybe I'll read this this month.

Well that was an interesting read. Some of them were just flat out weird but I did very much enjoy a few of them. They‘re perfect short stories if you‘re looking for a fast read. I really enjoyed the coldest girl in coldtown and a couple of the others. I didn‘t really find much any of them scary but they were cute little reads.

Love so much Holly Black books!! ?
I'm in love with The Cruel Prince and her other books about faeries ?

This short story collection is modern fantasy taken to a new level.

I loved some and others not as much. But it still came down to a 3 star pick for me.

My 2 favourites are Paper Cuts Scissors and The Coat of Stars

I finally have time! And light (a little too much light actually 😆)! So, with no further ado...here‘s my bounty from @ValkyrieAndHerBooks as part of the #HappilyEverAfterSwap hosted by @Chrissyreadit 🖤! I‘m posting this as I sip on a cup of that beautiful, beastly coffee — which tastes as good as it smells! I‘ve never read either of the titles you selected, I can *always* use another bookmark, & I love the woodland-themed book sleeve! Thank you!

@ValkyrieAndHerBooks I‘ll post more photos either tomorrow or on Sunday (some primo glamour shots 👌🏻😉💖) but I want you to know that I just opened my #HappilyEverAfterSwap & immediately felt like the Universe was speaking to me through you.

I may have mentioned that today is the anniversary of my grandmother‘s death, so Valentine‘s Day is a difficult holiday for me. Her name was Alice. Her favorite color was yellow. She was a coffee FIEND. 💛

Holly Black‘s “The Poison Eaters,” is my favorite short story collection. I picked it for today‘s prompt because one of my favorite of these delightfully dark tales, “In Vodka Veritas,” features a couple of potent #potions. Also pictured - my personal favorite “potion,” Matcha Latte🍵

While there were some stories I didn't care for, which is to be expected with a such varied collection like this, I did especially enjoy Paper Cuts Scissors, The Coldest Girl in Coldtown, and The Land of Heart's Desire.

Fairytales have always simultaneously encouraged and warned against wishful thinking. I think that duality is part of what makes them so fascinating! I thought it would be appropriate to share a couple of my favorites for #WishfulWednesday. These books will each take you on adventures, both inspiring and dangerous!

Tonight, my family are "The Poison Eaters", at least as far as I'm concerned! I'm allergic to potatoes ? ? (But they smell sooo good!) This #ShortStoryCollection by Holly Black is in my top three favorite short story collections. If you're looking for some dark folklore and fairytales with a modern twist, this is the collection (and author) for you!

Between this and Uprooted, I have clearly been in a fairytale mood! I really enjoyed listening to Holly Black narrate her own book! She's my go to gal for dark fairytales and her short stories definitely don't disappoint! You get to see some familiar faces and there are some entirely new stories. Ranging across the globe, from American towns all the way over into the Philippines, these stories will take you on a dark and lovely ride!
