Welcome to Litsy!

This book seriously lives up to its title. The story is told in 3 different POVs, following 3 teenagers who have lost someone really close to them. The story is beautifully written and the 3 characters each bring something to different regarding their grief. I like show the characters were connected by music and mutual friends. I expected to cry a lot while reading but I actually found myself smiling and the ending was perfect.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Some great ebook deals for anyone looking for some more good reads right now. All of these were 4 or 5 star reads for me so I definitely recommend them!

This book dealt with a hard topic: death. Logan, Autumn and Shay are all dealing with the death of a loved one in many different ways. They can't understand why their friend, ex boyfriend and sister were taken from them. But one thing unites all of them together and that's music. My heart broke for all of these characters.

I had a blast writing this article for Book Riot. I'm always fascinated by cover design-- especially seeing how different artists / designers envision what a cover should look like.

lots of events, bland storyline.

Listening to some great authors speaking about their works at #SLJTeenLive today. Significantly adding to my TBR pile. Also, here‘s a look at my messy desk. Who says Librarians don‘t love a little chaos? 😏

Big thank you to @Itchyfeetreader for this wonderful #jbuk surprise! 😍 Another book that will break my heart by the looks of it. 💔
It arrived yesterday but only opened it this morning as parents were visiting.
I'll send a full reply to your postcard soon! 😊 x

In the last days I tried to survive the warmth in our city park and actually managed to read SOMETHING! I started this at the beginning of June and am now finally finished. I just read a lot Fanfiction between that.
Anyway The Beauty that remains is a good book, just not as captivating or emotional as I hoped.

Starting this beauty today... Does anyone get excited when they start a new book?

Teen death.... going to the library today and getting a happier topic!

Currently reading these two. The artwork in Brazen is gorgeous and I‘m enjoying TBTR so far.

#currentlyreading | already hooked into this gorgeous novel, damn.

Done with finals = back to reading!

So happy that I get to make our May #bookclub pick! Excited to read this one!

“...that makes me feel like she‘s just out of reach, not gone forever, and that I‘m just not trying hard enough to get to her.”

Recently, I've been reading a lot of books where each chapter is from a different perspective of a character. My favourite part is how their stories intertwine and by the end of it, make sense. Ashley Woodfolk explores mind wrecking parts of grief and how each person handles it differently. If you haven't read it yet, read it now!

Seeing Love, Simon (!!!) by myself this morning. I‘m the only one in the theatre so I guess it‘s a private screening? 🤷🏼‍♀️

This book is all about death. My last book was all about death. I really need a light, funny read next or I might just be sad for life. 😭😭😭

The beginnings of my #tbr #junerelease2018🇦🇺 yay. Actually, there‘s a July one too, from an excellent #loveozya author that I may sneak in. #preview #rso #pileofbooks

I loved this YA novel! I don‘t usually enjoy YA but this one felt mature and tackled serious themes: death, grief and coping with loss. My full review:

Oof. Oh my heart, my head, my everything has been put through the wringer with this book. Told from the perspectives of three teens, connected via their relationship to an indie band, have all recently experienced the loss of a loved one and are dealing with surviving that. Poignant and explores a full range of emotions. Out March 6th! #netgalley

What a lovely debut novel! Full of pain, heartbreak and really fascinating characters. I enjoyed this book with its diverse characters and how their stories wove together.

Starting this YA ARC before it comes out on March 6th. I have been trying to eat healthy this week but one of my friends brought me a giant box of doughnuts yesterday after hearing about Shoeless passing away. I wasn‘t able to eat much yesterday so I just ate 4 doughnuts the whole day. I will eat good again tomorrow. But for today I just want to stay in bed and read. It just started to rain so that matches my mood. So much for reading outside.

Emotionally drained. This book deals with loss and grief in a very honest and emotional way. Each of the 3 main characters has lost someone close to them and this book focuses on what it‘s like to lose a loved one and the process of moving forward. The fact that these are all teenagers makes it that much more engrossing.

So this is me for the rest of the evening basically... well at least a huge chunk of my reading. I haven‘t read anything yet today and I am ready to get this one started.

So lovely.

It took a long time for the storylines to come together in this book. I did enjoy it, and the themes it explores. My favorite thing about YA books is the boldness of discussing issues without preaching.

Well, go ahead & add this to the list of books you should be most excited for in 2018! This is a beautiful, heartbreaking, & hopeful story exploring the lives of 3 teens struggling after losing someone they love. The characters are distinct & relatable, & their stories are told with such empathy. I can't get over how good it was--definitely one to add to your tbr right now!

Any feedback on this book yet? It‘s another #netgalley score. I need to start reading books that are already published and catch up, but I love reading things before everyone else 😳

Several books I've really been wanting to read and a few #netgalley arcs for my December TBR (also quite a few comics I didn't include here but still plan to read)
