Welcome to Litsy!

#LittensLoveACOTAR #ACOTAR Book 2: Ch.4-6: Just as Feyre is panicking at her wedding and probably about to pull a runaway bride situation, Rhysand interrupts in dramatic fashion. He demands that she comes with him to fulfill their bargain. We find out later that he heard her crying out for help - has known about her suffering these three months, courtesy of their bond. ⬇️

Continuing down the ACOTAR rabbit hole - a bit spicier to start and a bit sad

Started this today! I got the bookmark last week at a romance bookshop! #littensloveacotar

#LittensLoveACOTAR #ACOTAR Book 2: Ch.1-3: it‘s been 3 mths since the events of Under the Mountain. Feyre is suffering some major PTSD and both she and Tamlin pretend everything is fine. But how long can they keep pretending? Feyre is revered by the Fae - she has become a symbol (Feyre Cursebreaker) - I feel that although Tamlin loves her and wants to keep her safe, he is not above using her as that symbol to gain power back over his court. ⬇️

A little bit heavy in parts but an improvement on the first book. Azriel has my heart 🖤

So good!

I forgot to review this a few weeks ago. It‘s managed to suck me in for good now. I can totally picture it as a tv series too…a lot happens, the plot thickens, the characters evolve.

Seriously- this series was a good way to escape while waiting in the ER with my mom two weeks ago, and follow up appts. I really liked the twist in this one- and the descriptions in the book. It was also the right level of spice for me.

When I saw the morally dubious prompt for the #hauntedshelf book recommendations my brain jumped right to the book that got the TikTok book girlies started wirh their obsession with morally grey tattooed angel faerie men 🧚‍♂️

‘There are different kinds of darkness,‘ Rhys said. I kept my eyes shut. ‘There is the darkness that frightens, the darkness that soothes, the darkness that is restful.‘ I pictured each. ‘There is the darkness of lovers, and the darkness of assassins. It becomes what the bearer wishes it to be, needs it to be. It is not wholly bad or good.‘

“There are good days and hard days for me—even now. Don‘t let the hard days win.”

It is finally cool enough and not mosquito ridden to do one of my favorite fall activities. Reading by candlelight outside.

Up next on audio! 🎧

#ReadAway2024 #SeriesLove2024 There are things about this series that I like and things that leave me cold. If you‘re squeamish, this is not the series for you. I was surprised at the way the relationships changed and evolved. Some new characters were introduced and new places. 4.5 🌟

Just ok, I don‘t think this genre is for me. I think I‘ll skip the rest of this series.

I‘m going to BLOW UP!!!!! THIS BOOK IS EVERYTHING!!!!!! 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 how is everything we thought we knew a lie???!! This author masters suspense & emotions in an incredible way; you‘re truly inside of her head, feeling everything she‘s feeling. NOBODY SPEAK TO ME I CANT EVEN

Love reading outside, especially around a bonfire while camping! 🏕 Great long weekend up north with family. 🌲

book 8 of 2024: So Feyre is driving me crazy. I am hooked, no doubt about it, with this series but I have to keep reminding myself that Feyre is just 19 years old and her behavior coincides with a girl her age. I also torn between Tamlin and Rhys. I am more on Rhys side but i cannot help my heart that bleeds alil for Tamlin. On too book 3 I go.

Love—love was a balm as much as it was a poison.

Enjoyed this book more than the first, even though it goes hard on one of my least favorite Romantasy tropes. (I don‘t dig predestined/fated/bonded mates — thought it was romantic as a teen, but now I‘m like, “You know what‘s romantic? Two people choosing each other over and over again while continuously putting in the effort to make it work.” But I digress…) Will continue the series at some point, as much for the revenge plot as the love stories.

Wow. A masterpiece. I was hesitant after reading A Court of Thorns and Roses, but this book was SO WORTH IT. I just finished and already wish I could read it for the first time again. True love, chosen family, twists and turns, and the perfect mix of darkness with light.

I don‘t even know where to begin. This book was even better than the first one and absolutely ramped the story up at an incredible pace. There‘s not much I can say without giving away any of the story but Rhys and the bat boys have my heart.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Tagging my current read for my June #bookspin board. Since I plan to finish it within the next day or so, I put book 3 on the board. I‘m traveling to DC *all* 👏🏻 *by* 👏🏻 *my* 👏🏻 *self* in late June so I plan to read as many books as possible between my volunteer commitments while I‘m away.

After blasting through the first book of the ACOTAR series in 8hrs I‘m already on to Book 2, A Court of Mist and Fury. Just like the first, it is NOT disappointing…glad I was influenced to pick up this series.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

I guess it‘s better than the first book? Maybe I‘m just not in the mood for fantasy because I‘m not getting hooked on the story 🤷🏻‍♀️

I started a graphic audio of this and it‘s great. I‘ve already listened to the first book in this series.

Love my new book cover!

My goal for #MarvelousMarch is to finish my current read & start #ACOWAR! About 550 pages to go! 🩵

Action, betrayal, steamy scenes, etc. why didn't I read these books sooner?

I think about halfway through the first book I was Team Rhys. With this book, I‘m fully cemented on his side. The backstories are really filled out here and the political intrigue keeps the story moving along at a nice pace. This is slow burn but when the 🌶️🌶️ kicks in, it is worth the wait.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Three stars, I guess. After 23 hours, I feel…indifferent? I like Rhys as a character, I feel like Feyre has grown a bit but her self-centeredness takes me out. Do future books shift POV? A part of me wonders why Book 1 even needed to happen as it did? So many convenient coincidences & plot holes.

That said - I will get to Book 3 at some point bc I want to see how this turns out (and if it redeems itself?).

I‘m approaching halfway through and I think my main issue with this series (so far) is largely Feyre herself. She self-sabotages and is so defensive all the time and never hears anyone out - not her sisters, not Rhys, not even Tamlin. She paints herself like she‘s the big savior but in the end she always is helped at the last minute and that credit is rarely acknowledged. Sigh. I hope she heals bc this series will be tough if not.

Time to start this one! So excited!

Welp, I‘m back in the ACOTAR mode. So many people have said #2 is their fave of the series/when it starts to get “crazy”. I‘m almost a quarter deep and so far, the only character who doesn‘t make me deeply cringe is Lucien. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I‘m not loving the retcon of Tamlin‘s whole character to further twerk on the obvious love triangle of it all but already Rhys is more likeable than in #1 so… 🤷🏻‍♀️😂👀

I don‘t remember the last time a book gave me stress sweats, but the counter just reset. 🫨 #huey #lennox #catsoflitsy

I liked this book better than the first one. It's crazy how Tamlin just ignores Feyre's PTSD.
I was so happy when Rhys showed up. He's by far the most interesting character in the series. *purrs*
The banter between him and Feyre is perfect. I love how they help each other.

Always a sucker for book maps! This is a GIANT book to cart around in my backpack, but my doc was 30 minutes behind, so I‘m glad I had it!
