Welcome to Litsy!

When we got the letter in the post, my mother was ecstatic.

I was in a reading slump and decided a quick reread of this one would be a great idea. YA dystopian novel about a competition to become the next queen. I love the female friendships, political discussions, and readability. So easy to dive into and hard to put down. This was just what I wanted and I‘m on to the next one during this busy work season.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5

Finished this quick read last night! I enjoyed it! Not a fan of this Aspen character, though…

UGH 😍😭 needed something like this to catapult me out of a bad book binge! So easy to fly through in a day or two & great, casual writing style. Hunger Games meets the Bachelor, especially at first, but it ends up becoming it‘s own fantastic story!! Loved and so ready to inhale ANYTHING by this author!

This was my #doublespin for April with @TheAromaofBooks

It also is for #Booked2022 about a royal. I listened to it in one day on April 1. I hated the narrator, and the story felt like Hunger Games meets The Bachelor. It was just ok for me, and I will not be reading more in the series.

Just got my special edition of β€˜The Selection‘ by my queen Kiera Cass made by #beaconbookbox and I‘m so happy, they‘re so beautiful and I can‘t express how much I‘m in love with them. My old copies were literally falling apart and it‘s so nice to have these.

good book, funny moments

Such a good book! I like the dystopian setting and honestly, I‘d read a whole history textbook about the backstory behind Illéa. I liked the characters and the plot, but I wish there was more talk about the food they ate. 5?

This was a nice distraction from real life.

I thought this was a super good book. Almost like a mix of Esther and The Hunger Games, minus the death and killing.

3/5
It‘s your typical fast-paced, cutesy, YA book that‘s been in my TBR for awhile. Not much plot depth. It ropes you in with poor girl given a chance to turn her life around; a unique element was adding the caste system. Good political & historical components without throwing narratives or opinions in your face. It‘s enough reality tv show mixed with real teenage life feel. Super quick read that made me want to pick up the next, I‘m invested.

This is an awesome book I‘m only halfway through but when I pick up this book I can‘t put it down. The plot so far is really great too I recommend reading it.

I really enjoyed this lighthearted YA romance. At first, it was a little slow for me as I was figuring out the timeline and the caste system. It does take place in the future when the US no longer exists after WW4.
I like America a lot. She is spunky and stubborn, but very caring.
Some parts were very predictable, but overall it was a page turner for me and I really enjoyed it. I have a book hangover now!

I pulled back the covers and leaped into the morning.

Nice book though not the best book, I hope I‘ll get more attached with the next ones.

Well I am very glad I bought the box set because I need to read the next one straight away! πŸ˜‚
This is the hunger games meets the bachelor. I really enjoyed it and can‘t wait to see what happens next!

I've been missing out not reading this series! I'm not a fan of love triangles, but jeez loise, this book is so good! Looking forward to learning about the kingdom, the wars, and politics in the series! #ya #romance #dystopian

This book was such an addictive story to read. The characters infuriated me to No end for so many reasons but I‘ll still read the next one! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

OH. MY. GOSH what is this book? I love it!
I could hardly put it down and before I knew it, it was over. I‘m currently in the 3rd book as I type thisπŸ˜…

It‘s the perfect amount of romance and cheesy comedy. Just like junk food, sometimes you need a book like this to feed your soul. And in my case, it‘s a rare indulgence since I tend to avoid romance novels altogether.

Rating: 5/5
Book description ⬇️

100% a guilty pleasure.

A group of girls fighting for the attention of a Prince, cringe but totally engrossing too. Between the catty ones, the shy ones, the happy ones it‘s totally a addictive story.

I‘m looking forward to reading the next one!

I rate it 3/5 ⭐
It's a good book for one time read. Aside from the caste system, which is quite different, everything is pretty predictable (For me atleast!). America's desisons are quite sloppy. And its obvious that Maxon is going to pick America at end..

I didn‘t really like America, Aspen, or Maxon. I listened to these as audiobooks and the narrator performed her heart out. I chuckled when I wasn‘t rolling my eyes. It‘s kind of a teen version of The Bachelor with scary rebels attacking the castle. If you like love triangles, pretty girls who think they‘re plain, can‘t make up their mind, and act rashly but are universally loved by all, then it‘s for you.

⭐️⭐️⭐️ This was a quick & easy read. It kept my attention & it didn‘t feel like it dragged which i liked. I just feel like i have read it before. The plot/story is unoriginal in my opinion. Its a cross of the hunger games/bachelor. I envisioned the world of hunger games & chris harrison being the reporter the whole time . It left no room for my imagination to take off. It‘s like junk food, i can‘t stop reading it. Even if it‘s not that great.

I read this book four times before moving on to the rest of the series and it‘s a beautiful book series. I loved the chemistry between America and Prince Maxon.

"I hope you find someone you can't live without.I really do. And I hope you never have to know what it's like to have to try and live without them."

I first read The Selection 8 years ago and I gave it 5🌟 then. Today I give it 3🌟. When I first read the first book of this series I adored it. Now it was entertaining enough if a little boring at times the rebels and caste system is very vague and not well built upon. However I am a sucker for the Bachelor type competition.

Next on my reading rush is The Selection. I read this book for the first time 8 years ago and I gave it 5 🌟 when I read it. I hope it hold up for the obsession I had of it in the 6 grade

4.5/5 🌟

Easy on the brain to read! At first I found the beginning of the story immature. The world seemed so confusing & I didnt know quite how futuristic I was supposed to be picturing...but DANG it really does pick up! The maturity comes & goes. The names in the book need a little work & the main character over thinks things, but I did not hesitate to jump into book 2! Overall a gem you should try for yourselfβ™‘

Thank you so much @aroc for the thoughtful get well gift!! πŸ’œ definitely some much-needed relaxing distraction activities!

This book kept me wanting to what was going to happen next. Can't believe it took me this long to read.

I didn't really want a love triangle, but this story hit the spot. I devoured this book in hours and am excited to read the other books in the story.
