Welcome to Litsy!

The last few pages were a So-So, the rest is a Pan. Only read it if you're a true fan. This book is all over the place, the MC is a brat 3/4 through the story and the side characters I could only tell apart by name. The setting would've been nice, but I couldn't follow anything that was going on. Too many open questions throughout the plot. The ending was good, though.

Here's my #BookSpinBingo card with my #BookSpin being A Dropf Of Night by Stefan Bachmann and my #DoubleSpin being a Warhammer 40K short stories collection called No Good Men.

Funny enough this one is also being my next book for #BookishMonopoly 😄 I just hit the same category. Not bad, actually.

I have much #sorrow that this book was not as good at it could have been. #septembowie

I really wanted to love this. I loved the premise, and the story got to the excitement very quickly. Despite the action and how bonkers the book was, it was also kind of boring at times.

2 1/2⭐️The premise of this story is amazing, and it could have gone so far, but it failed miserably. I would not classify it as horror, or thriller, or fantasy. I would classify it as useless. Admittedly, it was interesting enough to keep me reading, but it wrapped up way too quickly, and way too easily. This book feels a like the movies Ghost Ship, 13 Ghosts, and the Cave all rolled into one. Full review on Goodreads

There is no way I'm getting a book read today. I'll input reviews later, but until then here are my July stats. Not a bad month at all.

This makes 3 #litsyAtoZ titles this month. I might actually catch up. I have to ponder on the before I write my review. Either a 2 or a 3, but I need sleep and to be clear headed to make up my mind.

I go outside to read and my neighbor resides to feed me. Mainly because she hates green peppers.

That is kind of what this book is.

Hummmmm. A bad Hogwarts. I thought that was regular school.?

Don't you love it when you open a new thick book and find out it has thick pages, nicely spaced lines, and large gutters. Means it's not as long as you thought. Though something that is bad.

I'm still obsessing over this book, and I finished reading it at 3:30 this morning. Literally couldn't sleep until I finished.

There's so much to be said and I hate giving away spoilers so let me just say: the mystery kept getting harder and harder to guess at. Things that i would think are one way are actually not. It kept me guessing up until the reveal.

I loved it so much and more. 5⭐️

She's so cynical. I love it.

The mystery is just giving me anxiety. I NEED to know what happened/is happening. I can't stop reading it!

So what appears to be the best choice of a color for a book cover. In my collection if it's not black, it's #bluebooks . #17rainbowreads (btw the upside down book is blue but it also has a giant green ogre on the front -Good Ogre by Clark.)

"When we are poor we wish to be rich, when we are rich we wish to be loved, when we are loved we wish for freedom from pain and endless life and unchanging happiness".

Overall I am not really sure what to make of this book. It wasn't what I expected after reading the blurb. Anouk is a teenager chosen to excavate a subterranean palace dating back to the French Revolution. I did get confused by all of the underground rooms but found it suspenseful enough that I flew through the pages. I would not include this in an elementary library collection.

Anouk has finally caught the break she‘s been looking for—she's been selected out of hundreds to fly to France and help with the excavation of a vast, underground palace buried a hundred feet below the suburbs of Paris. Built in the 1780's to hide an aristocratic family and a mad duke during the French Revolution. Anouk, along with several other gifted teenagers, will be the first to set foot in it in over two centuries.

This would probably make an enjoyably bad horror movie with a few tweaks, but it's just poorly written and mildly confusing as a book.

"Once people see you cry, it's like they own part of you. It's like you ripped a hole in yourself, and they saw through whatever armor you had on, got a good long view of all the screaming alien goop underneath."
