Welcome to Litsy!

Delightful short story about teen Elena and her experience waiting in line for a new Star Wars movie-you find yourself wanting to know more about Elena and the people in her life. But it ends at 48 pages. Still a pick!

So I just needed something quick to fill the time before I could go to the library later today to get my next read.

I knew I was going to enjoy this. I love most of Rainbow‘s work. What I WASN‘T expecting was to get so invested in Elena and Gabe that I am actually upset it‘s over and I will never know what happens with them next. I know I know that‘s how this usually works. But I just wasn‘t expecting this emotional investment.

Checked another short book I‘ve been meaning to read off my list!! And I freaking loved it! Could read an entire 300 pages about Troy, Gabe and Elena! Best!

This is my first Litsy post, way back in 2016... it took me just under 45 minutes to scroll all the way back to start 😂 SUCH MEMORIES! This got two likes and 1 stack add... #LitsyMemories #FirstPost

I still dream someday I will meet my Star Wars soulmate 😊 This was super cute and I just love her characters dialogue. It was short but you quickly fall in love with the three Star Wars fan standing in line.

Jumping on the short reads train. I won't reach my goal this year, but at least I'll be closer.

I'm not sure if this is a book, or a lengthy short story..but I liked it a lot. Two Star Wars fans meet in line as they are camped out waiting for a midnight showing. He ignores her. She pees behind a dumpster. You know..ROMANCE! It's really a cute story about not judging a book by its cover and it's worth the quick read.

While short, it was definitely fun, well written, and I really enjoyed it. There‘s a line outside for the latest Star Wars movie, but there are only 3 people in it. Elena doesn‘t care, however, since it‘s all about the experience. Loved reading about the experience, the characters, and the ending had me cracking up!

This is a (very) short story. I feel bad even counting it as a book. I‘m not a Star Wars fan myself, but my husband and daughter have seen the last two movies at the opening showings (they didn‘t wait in line.) I wanted a light read and love all her books, but this wasn‘t quite up to my expectations. Just kind of silly. Not bad though.

This was a #quickread which I #finishedinonesitting during family naptime way back on New Year's Day. Finishing anything longer in one sitting has been pretty impossible with a Toddlersaurus around! 😄 #ReadingResolutions #Julyinbooks18

I found my soul mate! Too bad he lives in Nebraska.

Such a cute short story that reminds you that some of the best things can get overlooked!

Loved this sweet short story about Star Wars fans camping out in line before the new movie. 💙 “I‘m not trying to talk anyone out of anything,” the manager said, looking harried. “I‘m just explaining that this is an unnecessary gesture.” “All the best ones are.”

Shoutout to @jpmcwisemorgan for the heads up on this awesome deal! 💗💗💗 #BookDeal

This is on sale for $2.99 as a Kindle ebook with proceeds going to the ACLU Foundation. I didn‘t need another book but I‘ll throw a little money at the ACLU Foundation any time I can swing it.

Enjoying the day with light reading.

Cute little short story by Rainbow Rowell about love blossoming between Star Wars fans in the line for The Force Awakens.
I love Rainbow Rowell, I always enjoy her stories.

Star Wars! Nerdy, awkward teens! Adorable. This short helped me pass the time in the ER with my spouse and his kidney stone. Bonus: Proceeds from the sale of this went to the ACLU. ❤️ Thank you, Ms. Rowell.

A perfect first read of the year. I may be physically incapable of not smiling when reading Rowell. I really related to Elena's attempt to savor an experience which hasn't turned out as anticipated. It also bright back great Star Wars memories of my own. And while one twist made me feel a bit annoyed, I did find the ending quite adorable. No spoilers, though. 😉

If I wasn‘t a lesbian, this would be a boy after my own heart!

After finishing Code Name Verity earlier today; I needed fluff. This was perfect. Short and Sweet. #readmyshelves2018

I'm actually working on an omnibus of Douglas Adams' HITCHHIKER'S GUIDE TO THE GALAXY books, but I saw this story on my shelf, and thought I would read it first. Just a little something to get my 2018 reading year started. A story about fandom?! It was adorable!

I seem to be physically incapable of reading Rainbow Rowell without smiling. Perfect first book of the year.

So my #halloweengoespostal buddy forgot to send me a note, so she sent me a note and a book! Juli you are too much! I‘m so excited about this. I‘ve been wanting to read Rainbow Rowell, so this will be the perfect introduction. Thank you 💚

Just bought tickets for The Last Jedi for 8:50 tomorrow MORNING. Hey, if they‘re going to show movies that early, I‘m down. Doing some prep this morning to get ready. Glad I‘m finally getting to this lovely little thing that @elkeo sent many, many months ago because now seems like the perfect time.

This was a really cute short story. Very fun brief read.

I told my friend, "Not without me, pal!" ????????? He graduated top of his class at Harvard sooo...yeah, he can. ?? #KindredSpirits

Kindred Spirits left me feeling a little #Blushful about my Star Wars knowledge, so I'm taking a break from #LitsyPartyOfOne for a marathon with a couple friends. The reading will resume this evening. 🤓📚 #YESvember17

Short, but cute (of course—it's Rainbow Rowell). I think I need to go watch that new Star Wars movie now.

I have been looking for a copy of this forever!

“By Tuesday evening, deep malaise had set in. Luke-staring-into-both-suns-of-Tatooine malaise.”

I just found this on my kindle. Totally forgot I'd bought it awhile back. Read the whole thing during my pedicure. What a perfectly charming, adorable, nerdy short story. I love Rainbow Rowell.

Perfect book to finish off comic con weekend :) it's true that geek culture has become more mainstream in the past couple of years with the MCU etc but I'm not part of this culture because it's "cool" or "the in thing". It's who I am and I'm proud of that ??? #geekandproud

I can't believe I finished! I attribute this wholeheartedly to all my #Littens without you guys pushing me to read more and keep up with you all I wouldn't have done it. I admit I cheated on the last book since I picked the shortest thing I could find.

I have been saving this #shortbook for the right time and I decided tonight was it. My cold is finally going away but I am still not ready for heavier reading material. Love Rainbow Rowell and this was a sweet short story that left me wanting more. #melandprireadathon

29. Short Book : Kindred Spirits by Rainbow Rowell (kindly sent to me from the 🇬🇧 by @uraqt288 when I panicked about not finding it here in 🇦🇺) #readathon #30daysofreadathon

This was a super adorable short story about two Star Wars fans. Thank you so much @elkeo for the hardcover! 💕

No Rainbow Rowell book can go unread and Kindred Spirits is my choice for #BookTubeAThon 3) Read a book in one day.

This little novella was so cute and sweet. Exactly what I needed! Yay Star Wars!!! 😍

Quick novella to get me back on track with my reading goals 😊

I did enjoy this considering I'm not a fan of Star Wars!

My first book I finished during #24in48 since I decided to read longer stuff. Which maybe wasn't the best choice but Kindred spirits is a delightful short story.

One of my friends in the U.K. was kind enough to send me a copy of this Rainbow Rowell novella. It's perfect for Star Wars fans and fans of Rowell in general! My only complaint is that the story is too short! #starwars #rainbowrowell

I have loved everything I've read by Rainbow Rowell. This story is sweet and cute and meaningful, just like the rest of her work. It is a nice snapshot of the character's lives.

This was a sweet, little book, which fit perfectly with my low energy levels.
I could relate to Elena's need for finding kindred spirits, as that is how I felt before Litsy. So thanks, again, to @elkeo for this lovely, little thing, and just thanks to all the wonderful Littens out there who are making this the best community ❤️

I have been sick/feeling bad since Wednesday, so I am trying to treat myself (and my lack of reading-energy) with lemon tea, candy, and some light reading material. Hopefully, this will do the trick 🤞
