Welcome to Litsy!

Forgot to post yesterday‘s #bibliomaynia! This book is all about a girl trying to save her family farm, very much a #ruralsetting.

Genre: Fantasy Fiction
Date Started: October 31, 2019
Date Ended: November 12, 2019
Why I choose it: I found the back story very interesting

Brief Summary: Hallie and Martha are having a hard time keeping the farm managed and maintained. They were waiting for more help from Martha‘s husband whom was away overseas but instead met a veteran. This veteran soon started helping them but his stay was temporary.

I really enjoyed the world building in this book, with the supernatural beasts crossing the gap between this world and theirs. But above all, this is a book about relationships: how men become unexpected heroes, and the consequences of that reputation , and how sisters move past the trauma of their abusive past to forge a future together.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Finished my first official book for this month! I really enjoyed this one, and the story sucked me in enough to read it in one day!

TBR for August! I actually still have to finish two rollovers from July, but I think I can finish all these! Most of them are adult fiction, though The Twistrose Key is middle grade. I‘m very excited!! #tbr #augusttbr #toberead

"His color was coming back, sun-brown instead of pale, but he still looked like he'd watched his house burn down and been fed the ashes."

Ah! So many amazing books, so little time! 😍 I'm currently switching between three books right now, and they are all so good! I also started another, and now I can't decide which one to read first! 😂

Do any of you do this, or do you just read one book at a time? 😅

An interesting start, looking forward to seeing how things turn out in this one!

Black and White Cover: this is one of my favorite books from the past few years! Beautifully written & imaginative. #maybookflowers

Six Canadian YA authors (Selena Middleton, Leah Bobet, Amanda Sun, Alyxandra Harvey, Rebecca Diem and L. E. Sterling) discuss dystopian literature and how SFF fandom shapes our politics and political activism. #adastra2017

I stayed up way too late reading this book about dead gods and surviving loss and the aftermath of war and holy shit it's just amazing. Effortlessly diverse, amazingly written, this was everything I love about YA.
