Welcome to Litsy!

Happy #JolabokaflodSwap and thank you to @TheDaysGoBy for the lovely assortment of chocolates and the intriguing pick from my list. Now I have a new world to dive in as my current universes are drawing to a close. Thanks @Maleficentbookdragon too! Fyi: I'm having trouble posting the picture using my phone. It auto-rotates and doesn't give me the option to change. I'm still looking for a workaround because I can't seem to get the app for Android.

Happy Solstice to all! ❄️

This was such a cute read. It takes place around Winter Solstice, so it‘s a great one for this time of year. It‘s a bit of a respite from what happened in the previous book, and what has yet to happen. Our characters get some much needed fun, and there were plenty of funny moments (and a couple of 🌶️ ones). They‘re still emotionally dealing with all that has transpired, some handling it worse than others. Let‘s see what happens in the next one…

Book 4 is up next 😁

#ARichLife Day 26: #Frost and Starlight. Any ACOTAR fans here? Haven‘t tackled this one yet.

⭐️⭐️⭐️

I‘m determined to finish this series, and this quick little “holiday special” went down easy. 🎧

Velaris. Hands down. Tagged is the novella from ACOTAR, which is my favorite little comfort read. I'd love to walk through the streets like Feyre does, soft snow falling. #SundayFunday

Next!

This read like an epilogue to book 3, and was completely unnecessary. I felt like it was written for the fans, but it had no plot and did not further story. Should have skipped this one.

This one was a little... fluffy. Maybe unnecessary, but there are definitely kernels of details that might be important later. #29-2025

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
It‘s a beautiful little book.
On this read through, I found what it had to say about healing through creating especially moving.

Enjoyed reading this brief interlude through everyone‘s different points of view for #LittensLoveACOTAR - its great setup for the last book. Thanks so much for organizing all of this @StayCurious ! 🤗 4⭐️

I read this with the #LittensLoveACOTAR group which made it even more enjoyable. Much calmer than the other stories in the series. I think it‘s laid the groundwork for A Court of Silver Flames which the group has just started.

#BookSpinBingo #SeriesLove2025

Another good installment in the series! This one lacked the tension and action of the previous books, however, through multiple POVs, we get to know the beloved characters better. But IMO, any time spent with Rhysand is time well spent. 🤣

#LittensLoveACOTAR #ACOTAR #ACOFAS Book 4 Ch. 28 and Review : Although not as action packed as previous instalments, I really liked this book because it gave insight into our characters and will provide a good bridge to the next book. I‘m looking forward to some more Cassian. Nesta…not so much. Who knows - maybe she‘ll change my mind. I‘ll post a reading schedule for Book 5 soon for those who want to join me.

#LittensLoveACOTAR #ACOTAR #ACOFAS Book 4: Ch. 25-27: I think Feyre‘s plan to use art as therapy is a great idea and I‘m glad she got help from Ressina. I like that she‘s making future plans and is working towards things she wants. Maybe she should drag Nesta in there. Lord knows she needs some therapy.

Although this book was not as exciting as the rear of the series, it sure talks about feelings of everyone dealing with the aftermath after a war. Everyone has to deal with what happened in their own way. Thanks for hosting @StayCurious #AcotarBuddyRead

#LittensLoveACOTAR #ACOTAR #ACOFAS Book 4 Ch.22-24: Kay, SJM - where‘s my fan? You make me want to air bnb a cabin in the woods. Tamlin has really completely fallen. In a way, does the dead elk symbolize him? Doesn‘t his beast form have elk antlers? Maybe I‘m wrong. What do we think was in the woods watching Mor? Hmm, could it be Bryaxis or something entirely new?

It was not my favorite from the series, but it was nice to listen to what the characters did after the war with Hybern. There was character growth and plot development for the next book.

#LittensLoveACOTAR #ACOTAR #ACOFAS Book 4 Ch.19-21: Nesta Nesta Nesta. You gotta snap out of it! See what‘s offered in front of you. Cassian (in all his glory) but also family and friends and life. What do we think Feyre wished for her birthday? I have my theory - can‘t wait to see if I‘m right.🧑‍🍼

#LittensLoveACOTAR #ACOTAR #ACOFAS Book 4 Ch.16-18: Feyre wants everyone to be happy and is not able to help meddling a bit. She‘s always been like this so we can‘t blame her. But I‘m sad for Lucien. Band of Exiles indeed - sounds like a children‘s club or something. Tamlin is an ass for pushing his only friend away. Speaking of friends - how great is it that the boys have an annual snowball fight? Love those characters.

#LittensLoveACOTAR #ACOTAR #ACOFAS Book 4:Ch.13-15: first off, this made me laugh: https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1EdHtawpBV/?mibextid=wwXIfr - Nesta is driving me a bit crazy. Poor Feyre - she‘s trying. Nesta is being so miserable and acting like a cow. Where‘s a therapist when you need one. I‘m trying to be sympathetic but she‘s making it hard. Also, I love how much Feyre wants to help those in her city.

#LittensLoveACOTAR #ACOTAR #ACOFAS Book 4:Ch.10-12: Rhys goes to see Tamlin and it does not go well-no surprise there. Kind of sad to see how far he‘s fallen though. I don‘t begrudge Rhys for saying what he did-even if he feels guilty afterwards, some things had to be said. Maybe Nesta should join Tam and they can be miserable together. B/c Nesta is going through it and not accepting help from her family. I think an intervention may be in order.

#LittensLoveACOTAR #ACOTAR #ACOFAS Book 4: Ch.7-9: first off - it must be so hard to be a leader when there are dissenters and grumbling amongst some of your people. How hard it will be for Rhys and Feyre to keep peace. Second, Cassian is such a great person - even though they hate him he wants to help the Illyrians who are at risk. I wonder if we‘ll learn more about Emerie. ⬇️

#LittensLoveACOTAR #ACOTAR #ACOFAS Book 4: Ch.4-6: I liked these chapters because we‘re getting to know our characters even more. I especially liked reading Feyre and Rhysand‘s scene because I just ❤️ them so much. I love how they take care of and respect each other. Morrigan‘s scene was sad. Her memories of the worst moments of her life brought to life was difficult to read. I still think Eris is a prick not worth trusting.

#LittensLoveACOTAR #ACOTAR #ACOFAS Book 4: Ch.1-3: We have three POVs this time - Feyre, Rhysand and Cassian- which I thought was neat. It‘s clear that things are not all HEA after the fight with Hybern. I appreciate that SJM acknowledges that people suffer from emotional trauma and PTSD and it doesn‘t just go away. All of our characters are dealing with things or keeping themselves busy in order to avoid. ⬇️

I love the first of the month and buddy reads! #littensloveacotar @StayCurious

repost for @StayCurious:

#LittensLoveACOTAR #ACOTAR #ACOFAS Hey guys! On to the next in the series. Some say this is book 3.5, some say 4, some say it‘s a novella - I prefer to think of it like a BBC Christmas special. Either way, it‘ll be fun to dive back into the world of the Inner Circle. It shouldn‘t take us too long and we‘ll read 3 chapters a day (or feel free to read at your own pace). Let me know if you want to be tagged on my posts.

a weak link in the series imo but a reprieve from wars basically setting the stage for the next conflict with too much use of the word ‘mate‘ but it didn‘t hate it 🤣

While it‘s odd to call something with 200+ pages a novella, it maybe does fit here as this installment is more vibes and segue than actual plot?

But I still enjoyed the relative calm of a post-war winter solstice with this crew.

Up next on audio…determined to finish this series!

Current read is this short novel considered book 3.5 in the series. Honestly so far it isn‘t my favorite, but it is a nice break from the intense roller coaster of the first three books. Is it bad to say Feyre is starting to bug me sometimes?? Also, consider this an unsponsored ad for my new obsession - the Hatch alarm. I can read to a soft light with rain playing or the sounds of nature all from my bed. Love it! #acotarseries #currentread

This was too cute 😍
I love Azriel and Cassian so much.

I brushed a hand over his cheek to wipe away the last of his tears, his skin warm and soft, and we turned down the street that would lead us home. Toward our future—and all that waited within it.
To the dreams that are answered, Rhys.

Decent book but nothing crazy like the last book I read in the series.

Happy Winter Solstice ❄️

I picked a theme for my maternity shoot as kinda “Feyre-esque” there aren‘t the full edits but I‘m horribly impatient and obsessed with them already.
It‘s my 40th birthday (almost Feyre‘s birthday)
If you want to buy me a prezzy, here‘s my wishlist https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/MW6J1NHN1MRL?ref_=wl_share

This one was easy to do over the weekend, I think it‘s a great idea having these cute little filler books

Eh. It‘s fine. It‘s cute and light, but the shifting perspectives do nothing for me, since every voice feels exactly the same. It also doesn‘t quite manage feeling cozy or wintry enough to work for me as a “holiday episode,” but if you‘re into ACOTAR I‘d still encourage giving it a read.

3✨This is a light read after the war. A nice break for the characters. #TeamFlurken #SeriesLove #HauntedShelves
