Welcome to Litsy!

I've decided to try #BookSpin and #BookSpinBingo again. I saw someone's idea of having two lists, and I think that will be great for me. My spin list will be books I own to try to encourage me to read those and my bingo will be criteria for the group I help run, the spins, and the Cosmere read-through I'm doing with my partner. I don't read 25 books a month and the bingo is just for fun, so I've broken it up to make it work for me. :)

Rook and Sun just want to impress their mentors and be the best magic users they can be. But ithings get complicated when the Consortium starts to pay them some notice. This was a pretty fun read! It's definitely very young adult, but I think anyone looking for a bit of fluffy reading with magic, charming characters, romance, and vengeance you can feel great about will enjoy this read. This reminded me strongly of Owl House. #LGBTQIA #Magic

Cosy/cozy for #HauntedShelf #Flerken

Sneeze for #HauntedShelf I'm amazed I found that! Team #Flerken

The romance in this book was lovely. I really enjoyed the characters and the build up.

I was disappointed by the ending. Deus ex machina upped which I generally dislike. It felt unearned.

Just realized that I never showed off these BEAUTIES 😍
FT Lukens special edition set by Dazzling Bookish Shop - I love them so much 🥹

This is my new favorite Lukens novel. I loved this magical world of sorcery! Rook is desperate to be a part of the magical world despite not having magic & convinces a powerful curse breaker w/a penchant for breaking the rules to accept him. He meets another apprentice, Sun, who reluctantly becomes his friend despite their social aversion & prickliness. But when the Consortium finds out about Rook they must work together to save both their mentors

I finally got a physical copy!!

This #book has plot but you know what else it has? Amazing characters, character interactions, and a meet-cute #romance that has me crying and giggling into my hands. OMG, this gave me so many cavities! I LOVED IT.

Have you read it??

A little light reading for pride 🏳️‍🌈 #LGBTQ

Do you ever feel intimidated after finishing a book? Like hmm, what should I read next? Except that there's a fear of choosing the "wrong" book? And then you end up taking forever to choose...!

I'm only at the start of this series of events. Ahhh, I wish I could just CHOOSE something but nothing is *really* calling to me, you know?? I know I want to read something queer...but what?

I want it to be fun like Spellbound ?

Plot. Yes. This #book has plot but you know what else it has? Amazing characters, character interactions, and a meet-cute #romance that has me crying and giggling into my hands. OMG, this gave me so many cavities! I LOVED IT. #gayromance

Super cute story about Rook and Sun and their magical journey as apprentices with spell handy-people.

I really loved this book. Rook, as he has been renamed, has talked his way into a job with Antonia, a powerful sorcerer and hex breaker. He is supposed to be keeping his head down since he has no magic himself, but that doesn't happen. And Sun, the Apprentice of Antonia's colleague is another distraction 😽

OMGGGGG IT'S HERE!!! I was sad I didn't get approved for it but then it was part of this month's ALCs!!! This is going to be such a fun read, I know it! And that cover 😍😍

If you love a good sunshine and grumpy duo this may be the queer book for you. I absolutely dove into Lukens new book knowing I would find a cast of intriguing characters and a plot that would pull me in. I loved how sweet Rook and Sun end up falling, the moments that really pulled them together in this book.
Definitely going to be one of my top favorite books of this year.
