Welcome to Litsy!

⭐️⭐️⭐️ For the most part, I did enjoy this book. I have never read a book like it and it was interesting to think about. I could not imagine being charged for every word I spoke or even being charged to kiss someone. There were a few parts that were frantically weird or strange, but it‘s also a different world so I wouldn‘t expect to feel normal reading it. TW - Rape, Murder and Suicide

I thought this book was pretty interesting. I started the second book but kept getting distracted so will try again another day
4 5/5 stars

Anyone wanna do a #bookswap with me? Got this #YA #dystopia up for grabs. Comment a YA novel you have that you‘d be willing to swap w/ me for this one! #booktrade

Such an interesting concept, but just poorly executed.

I've been looking forward to All Rights Reserved for what seems like forever! However, I'm not sure if this is the kind of book I'm looking for at the moment. Have any of you guys read either All Rights Reserved or the two others I'm considering, Night or Every Heart a Doorway?? If you have, please let me know in the comments what you thought! Thank you all! Have a goodnight❤️

I just finished this book for my Adults reading YA book club and it really made me think about the freedom of speech and government control. A neat future dystopian novel where you have to pay for the words you say. A simple concept but it actually was very thought provoking and should make for a good discussion.

Restarting this book with my feet up on the Sunday morning.

The magic in this story is the world-building: a world where every word and gesture are copyrighted, and wrist cuffs use the WiFi to track everything you say and do and charges you accordingly. When you cant pay anymore, you go into servitude. One girl challenges the system by keeping her mouth closed.

I cant wait for the next book! Such a cool concept, fantastic execution.

The gloomy weather fits right in with this book. I love the premise, but the middle of the story is dragging a little - I need for something new to happen!

I found the characters to be unlikeable and it was painful reading at times

I‘m DNFing this for now, I‘ve been reading it for over a week and still less than 100 pages in. I love the concept but it‘s not very original.

Beginning was super slow, but once the story picked up I was absolutely hooked.

Amazing concept. The story could be made into a Black Mirror episode. 5 stars.

Started reading this last night. Pretty solid dystopian YA so far. Premise: every word, gesture, and product is copyrighted, which means an individual is charged a price for their use. The main character decides to remain silent rather than collect debt for speaking. Kind of reminds me of that forgettable Justin Timberlake movie In Time (anyone?!).

No love triangles so far. 🤞🏼

This book is so interesting! Imagine being charged for every word you speak, every gesture you make...

Very original story idea that was a good read! I did have a hard time with the main character yelling at her in my head at times but overall I recommend it

This one looks interesting. Fingers crossed.

So currently reading this book and it's incredibly interesting it really makes you think and wonder how easily our lives could become similar and how they already are it makes you rethink what having rights really means to you what if someone made you pay for the words you speak how much louder would your actions speak?

This book was addictive, impossible to put down and scary all at once.

The whole concept of thw story is almost to real. I spent the bulk of time while reading, thinking about how long until this is no longer fiction but reality.

This was very well done and blew my mind!

Such a great (and terrifying!) concept for a dystopia. Words matter!

This was a REALLY interesting book that made me think of so many different topics! The value of copyrights vs. open source, the value of money, the corruption of money in government, the role of internet, equal access to internet, isolation, creating new food, loss of language and voice, etc.

It did (vaguely) give me hints of Divergent and The Hunger Games. I loved the creepy underworld/rebels group particularly. It's slow to start but picks up.

The premise of this book is just TOO good to pass up. I gotta try it!

Fantastic book

A bit tough for me to read with all the copyright info, but such a good read.

I'm so mad. I ordered a book on Amazon and was sent an ARC which I didn't want or agree to (and is also not allowed - ARCs aren't supposed to be sold). Now I'm trying to return it but Amazon is trying to make me pay return shipping. I'm going to have to call and make a fuss.

When I was very young, I also thought my name and the place we went to get books were the same word. ☺️

I wanted SO BADLY to love this new YA dystopian story! It's been on my radar for months and I was ecstatic when I received an ARC, but it fell flat in a big way. I detailed it all (spoiler free) on my blog, but basically, the MC is totally unlikeable and the ending feels so forced. I won't continue the series. 😞

#currentlyreading #septemberrelease #preview #rso it's dystopia time! Again!

MASSIVE thanks to Harlequin Teen for this ARC of 'All Rights Reserved' by Gregory Scott Katsoulis & a signed bookplate! The premise of this book sounds incredible, and I can't wait to dig in. "When every word has a price, her silence could spark a revolution." On sale August 29, 2017.

Hmm, I wonder how much it would cost to say weaselheaded fraknugget in Katsoulis's imagined future where all the words we say come at a cost? #eArc #edelweiss

So far this is delightfully, frightfully messed up! #eArc #edelweiss #CurrentlyReading

Day 2 of @bookriot 's June #riotgrams photo challenge is yellow covers. I picked this one up at Teen Con, part of All Day YA, last week and it sounds fantastic!

Words matter. Words make ideas. They preserve truths and history. They express freedom and they shape it. Words mold our thoughts. That gives them value and power.
