Welcome to Litsy!

She stayed in the back of the church for the rest of the funeral service, uninvited and ignored. But anyone who looked would have noticed the candelabra casting shadows on her dramatic cheekbones, illuminating the tears that streamed down her face.

When I purchased The Thousandth Floor by Katharine McGee ages ago, I somehow completely missed that this book is classified in the YA genre. (I rarely read YA.) I enjoyed it more than I expected. It‘s a good story that kept me engaged, and has a suspenseful ending. I‘m sure people who enjoy YA and science fiction would very much enjoy this book.

“In the end, it's not the height of the tower that matters, but the strength of the friendships built within.”

I read the first of this series but never got around to the others…

The sounds of laughter and music were dying down on the thousandth floor, the party breaking up by bits and pieces as even the rowdiest guests finally stumbled into the elevators and down to their homes.

Maybe that's all that praying was, she thought, just wishing good outcomes on other people.

Say Hi to my TBR!

I'm pretty sure my car got Katharine McPhee(singer) mixed up with Katharine McGee(author)....I thought the picture looked familiar when it popped up. 🤣🤣 They look nothing alike.

Maybe this is just a stock image they use for some audio files??

This reads like a Contemporary Mystery with a lot of unlikable POVs, so it wasn't for me. I set it aside after 98 pages and don't want to finish it right now, perhaps another time. @TheAromaofBooks #BookSpin #August

This starts with a girl falling off the thousand floor tower. So you know there is going to be some drama. Honestly, this book is like Gossip Girl set in the future before they ran out of good plot lines. If that sounds like it might be your thing, this is the book for you.

Whoa

I thought it‘d be a bit more “important” than rich teens doing drugs and having crushes on poor people but I‘d probably give the 2nd book a whirl.

DEVOURED this book. Katharine McGee is a rockstar and this story shared all the same DNA with American Royals: futuristic teenage angst, subtle class warfare, forbidden love...and I‘m HERE for it. The ending left me unsure of whether I want to follow the rest of the trilogy, but still, I thoroughly enjoyed this!!

#bookmail to brighten my day!!

Day 14: Book & Chocolate ❤️

If the idea of Gossip Girl set in the future appeals to you, then this book is worth reading. I listened to the whole book in a day, which helped keep my interest- and the ending had me downloading book 2!

But anyone who looked would have noticed the candelabra casting shadows on her dramatic cheekbones, illuminating the tears that streamed down her face.

I enjoyed this easy read - loaned to me by my fourteen year old niece who has read it twice in the past few weeks. It definitely felt like a teen drama with all the angsty relationship issues but the futuristic tech inventions kept me engaged and got me through to the finish.

Despite a few gems, this book made me feel like when I‘ve dined at an expensive restaurant and eaten too much rich food. I wasted a lot of money for a stomach ache.
★
Don‘t get me started on the ending...what?? Really?? I‘m sorry, but I really didn‘t like this book. Everyone has their taste; some people will like a book, others will not. And it‘s okay to have an honest opinion. Right?

This really is a book about teenagers — insecure, impulsive, self-centered, hormonal teenagers who have too much money & time. Now, some readers would hate that, but to me it was fun! I found these characters relatable to my own teenage self, though the representation of marginalized folk needs improvement. The writing was good, but the plot moved slowly, & I‘m never a huge fan of revolving POVs. Still, I‘m curious to see where it goes next. ★★★☆☆

#currentlyrereading | I‘ve been trying to actually finish this trilogy for ages — maybe 2020 will be the year!

“he didn‘t know what it was like, wanting something you could never have; how impossible it was to un-want it once you‘d let the feeling in.“

Much more Gossip Girl-esque than I remember. I took a issue with who is murdered as it falls into that "kill the minority" trope that I cannot stand being used. The world and tech is school and a lot of grey yet likeable characters.

Time to binge. I've only read this book of the trilogy but that was so long ago that I need to reread it

This book took me a while to finish. I honestly was expecting something different and I normally am not interested in something so Gossip Girl-esque. That said, I did enjoy this book and the idea of a massive tower city was quite interesting. There was a bit too much drama for my liking but for what it was, it was well written.

#currentlyreading

I have just started this and I am very intrigued by the prologue!

The end pages of this book are stunning😍

First up for #ScallywagAThon!

I've waited a long time for this trilogy, wanting to read them back to back once they were all written. I was so disappointed in the first one I'm not even continuing on in the series. Everyone I spoke to loved it and I thought it just fell short.

Maybe I‘m just kinda getting burned out from these types of books. I just didn‘t find this to be super original. It reminded me a little bit of The Uglies series and the characters weren‘t very likable which made it hard to care about. Not terrible, but not my fave in this genre.

I had heard about this series awhile back, but never had interest in it. Subsequently, a booktuber reviewed it, liked it, and I decided to give it a go. It‘s the type of book that‘s a forgettable read, yet while you‘re reading it, you‘re engaged. I‘m not sure if I will continue on, although I do have the second book from the library already. It‘s between a So-So and Pick, but closer to a So-So.

Basically, this book is exactly what it says it is. Lies, drama, parties - a true mix of GG and LPL :)

One of those petty dramas where privileged rich kids sleeps with everyone and everyone betrays everyone, do lots of drugs and you are not required to think too hard.

But I was interested to read to the end - to find out who falls from the tower

1st book for 2019 done❤️ I am a little torn with this book..not sure if it‘s a pick or so so. It took me quite awhile to get into. Some of the futuristic items in the beginning confused me a little, and made me a little disinterested. With that being said, once I started to catch on and get to know the characters it started getting pretty interesting. I‘m curious as to what will happen next in the series....

📚1st book being read for the new year! What else is everyone reading today? 📚

This book is like the ultimate reality tv show meets dark drama meets, like, the most over the top, angsty, rich high-life story you‘ve ever seen. In fact, this story was SO heavy with the drama that it dropped to so-so for me. Don‘t get me wrong, I picked up this book expecting to see some privileged kids make fools of themselves, but it was just a bit too much for me. BUT I also don‘t tend to love this sort of story anyway, so it may just be me.
