Welcome to Litsy!

The other #LitsyLove #WinterSwap package came from @bullbunny I about died when I saw the poster!! My family is a bunch of avid movie lovers so I honestly have always wanted to get one! Thank you so much!

⭐⭐⭐½
This book was good but not quite as good as I expected it to be.

I‘m sure it‘s quite a while ago but I remember to have seen posts about this book very often and my Litsy feed. And as I found it in my online line Bernie accidentally a few days ago I decided to take it home and give it a try. #LitsyLove

So: Let the reading beginning. 😃

This book is a thriller about a group of high schoolers who witness a death of a classmate and become potential suspects- all with a secret to hide. I loved that it was written through alternating perspectives, and it kept me guessing for a large part of the book. Not a realistic ending to me, but thoroughly entertaining throughout.

I really enjoyed this book! Can't wait to read the next one!

Starting this tonight for my #everythingbutselfhelp #bookclub. Sounds interesting!

I really enjoyed all the books I read in October. The tagged book is for book club and I finished it in 2 days.

This was an enjoyable YA mystery. Pretty Little Liars meets The Breakfast Club is an accurate description. Although I predicted the twist ahead of time, I still had fun listening to this.

My #24b4Monday progress isn‘t too bad, but I‘m going to take a little break before diving back in later tonight.

This was a quick, entertaining listen. Nothing groundbreaking or particularly shocking but I will say I didn‘t totally guess the ending. I‘ll definitely give this author another try. 🌟🌟🌟 1/2.

One of Us is Lying gets a 4.5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 from me! The Breakfast Club meets Pretty Little Liars. It kept me turning pages and I loved the 4 main characters and their developing relationships! I can‘t wait to read the sequel that comes out in January.

Finished this 🎧 book while working on our Haunted House LEGO set this morning! #HelloKitty thinks 👻 is one of her toys. 😹 #catsoflitsy

This is supposed to be suspense, but I guessed the twist from the first chapter. Despite that, it was still a very enjoyable read! It‘s very binge worthy with a fast-moving plot and is excellently written.

#screamathon

Stunning plot twists, suspense &suspicion, insecurities of high school, gossips - quick and thrilling read. Couldn't guess until the end.

After another really busy morning, and a long mid-day nap to make up for the lack of sleep last night, I took the rest of the day as a mental health day. I spent a few hours listening to this suspenseful YA while working on our Haunted House LEGO set! Not really horror, but it was next up on my #screamathon audiobook stack, which leans heavily toward suspense instead of screams and gore. 😃 ⬇️⬇️

❤️

Loved this way more than I thought I would. Super enjoyable YA mystery.

My local bookstore fosters kittens!!!

In the store, that title is cute. Having finished this book, that title is downright clever!

Reading in between calls.

I came across this book at the library and thought it would be nice to read book nominees for the YRCA.
Write a brief summary of the novel; who was the protagonist; what was his/her problem and how was the problem resolved? (in the comments)

A fun mystery to listen to while #audiocrafting some new wood silhouettes for Hallowe‘en! 🎃 👻

Great read with a really good twist at the end. Love an easy read in the evenings after work👍🏻
Thanks for the recommendation @hermyknee

This was a fun, if flawed, YA thriller. Five kids in detention, and one ends up dead. While I didn‘t love the mystery, I liked seeing how the suspects reacted to the scrutiny, found out who their real friends were, and found solace in each other.

Well it didn't take long to read this, it was really good! #bookcover

This is my potential TBR for September. I will use my tbr jar that I got from Illumincrate, so I will see which one I will read first! Have you read any of these? #tbr #books

I did have an idea of what the reveal was but couldn't put all the clues together until the end. Overall, I did enjoy reading this book and thought it touched on a lot of different subjects.

Started off strong, five students walk into detention and only four walk out alive. The brain, the beauty, the criminal, and the outcast almost like the Breakfast Club with murder...and less witty. But still interesting with a hint of YA romance.

I forgot to post this yesterday, but this was the book I read the first chapter of for First Chapter Monday in all of my English classes yesterday. It was a huge hit, and was checked out from my classroom library immediately! #firstchaptermonday #teachersoflitsy #englishteacher #classroomlibrary

I really wanted to love this book but found it a bit predictable, and when it‘s a who-dunnit that‘s always a bit of a let down.

I haven‘t read the tagged book - it‘s on the TBR list. But I‘m guessing that the one that‘s lying would be a #LoathsomeLiar

A little late, but my #monthlyreport for #july is up! I think I read more last month than I‘ve read in the past two years working at camp. 👀 Summer‘s nearly over, though, so let‘s see what August brings!

Quick read, has some issues but it was really fun to read.

Had a definite 13 Reasons Why feel. I‘m going down and I‘m taking a bunch of people with me. It‘s nice to have instant sequel gratification in the form of an ARC. The #readathon continues...

Wow, okay. So. I really really liked this one! It had me second-guessing everyone at one point or another, and my list of suspects didn‘t include the actual killed until 3/4ths of the way through the book! The clues were all there, but I didn‘t connect them. What a read! I‘d recommend to anyone who likes true crime and YA (although there‘s quite a bit of swearing, so on the older end of the YA spectrum).

Starting this one today! I‘ve heard good things so... 🤞🏼😬🤞🏼

Kicking off #24in48 with the audiobook of the tagged title and starting to work on a big family photo project for my mom. Please enjoy this picture of Baby Me with Clifford. #readathon

I had 4 theories and 1 of them was right. This book was a good thriller and i read it in one day. 100% worth it, all the characters were believable and flawed in good ways. The secrets were a bit obvious but that was not a bad thing.

This book just called Buffy the Vampire Slayer a 'retro vampire show' and suddenly I'm 100 years old

😒😒😒😒

I was explaining this book to my husband and he said "wow they should make a movie about it."
I really enjoyed this book! 5 stars! #oneofusislying #karenmcmanus

I keep hearing this compared to Breakfast Club and I get it, but it‘s not quite that easy. This is a murder mystery that gets you caught up in those stereotypes and how they sometimes define someone more than their actual actions. Whether you figure out who did it or not, this should be a fun ride that has you rooting for all the reasons you didn‘t think you would at the outset. All that AND McManus manages to figure out how to have a cute ending.

“You find out who your real friends are when stuff like this happens. Turns out I didn‘t have any, but I‘m glad Cooper does.”

“We‘re part of the news cycle now, though, so things won‘t stay quiet for long.”

It‘s been a while since I‘ve devoured a book like a did this one. The author timed bringing out more secrets at the right time to keep me hooked. I honestly didn‘t catch on to who it was until the end. Such a great book! Looking forward to the sequel! #booked2019 #socialmediafocus

Reading a few pages while drinking coffee with hopes that I will wake up enough to get through the work day. I stand by that the holiday should be July 5th instead of 4th, so you can sleep in after staying up for fireworks.
