Welcome to Litsy!

Things were going fine (if a bit dully) up until a blatantly racist scene in which one of the grown ups earnestly teaches a group of children about “savages” and their “primitive” ways and FOR GODS SAKE WTAF. I get that it‘s a Peter Pan retelling but there is absolutely no good reason to include a scene like that. It amazes me how irresponsible people can be when they‘re writing for *children* 🤬🔥. Not quite 1st for #24in48

Gooooood morning #24in48 readathoners! Currently listening to this cute retelling while the coffee wakes up my system. How‘s everyone doing?

This is a great #adventure series for readers aged 9-12. This first book features none other than Captain #Hook as the villain.

I read about a third of it. It‘s pretty good, I just wasn‘t in love with it. I think any Peter Pan or Pirate fan would go crazy for it though. My niece devoured them.

Not sure if I‘m doing this right. 🙄
This is my log for yesterday the 13th.

In books I found a home. #inspirational #poetry

I have been wanting to read this book for a long while now. So when #audible had it on sale I snatched it up. It is the story of how Peter Pan came to be. It is filled with mystery, excitement and humor. The pieces all come together nicely in the end.

My FAVORITE book series EVER. I still prefer "preteen" novels even though I'm nearly 20. The magic that I feel when reading these books is unreal.

How about some earth-tone spines for today's prompt?

That's one way to hide how much you spent on a gift...spotted in my library's used corner. 😂

This series (or any Peter Pan book for that matter) reminds me of #innocence. I was in love with Peter Pan as a kid, and I remember constantly wishing for him to come and take me to never land with him 💚 #augustofpages #bookphotochallenge #day22

I'm finishing off my ode to Peter Pan retellings tonight with Peter and the Star Catchers (which is a fantastic book!). After all these book rift with pirates I think I might make pirate books my next theme 😃🌊☠

What are your favorite pirate-y books?

This book is easily one of my favourites. I love retellings, and I love Peter Pan, so I can say with lots of weight in both of these fields that this book is very very good

Peter Pan is one of my very favorite stories. I don't know why I hadn't read this before but I'm so glad I did. I stayed up until 3:30 to finish it which hopefully signals the end of my reading slump. Though I may have a bit of a book hangover from this...
