Welcome to Litsy!

Overall, I'm calling this a pick, but kind of a soft pick.

This one is definitely what I would call a light read, with a bit of a YA feel, but a little more spice. It's a fun romp, laced with both humor and sadness, as we see our “heroes“ struggling with the aftermath of their prior adventure.

4.3⭐️ I love this… I thought it was super cute and fun and definitely had the cozy fantasy feel. This was our May book choice, along with two graphic novels, for my #HometownBookClub. I will say I got a little bit more spicier than I expected, but I read a lot spicier so it didn‘t bother me. However, we usually try to stay away from spice in our Book Club picks as not everybody enjoys them, so that was offputting. Otherwise, 100% recommend.

3✨ Cute and fantasy did deliver, and I found myself really liking the world built by the author. The issues I had with it was 10 years past, but they felt like teens. It was also spicier than I personally like, and the romances felt very YA. While it did bring a lot of fun elements to the table the ending I appreciated, but also felt like everything the characters went through didn‘t matter anymore. #HTBookClub

Listening to my HT Bookclub book and enjoying my birds. I have way too many roosters, but man are they handsome. 🥰🐓💛

My book crawl continues. ☕️

This was fun, a little bit silly, a little bit sad, but overall a pretty light read. The story explores the aftermath of the hero‘s quest, and how people can wound one another and themselves. It didn‘t really get too involved, though. I didn‘t feel very invested and I don‘t know if it was the book or just my mood. Just didn‘t have that spark for me.

And I spent the last of my gift card (and then a little more) on these beauties. I know nothing about any of them, but it‘s been a while since I blindly browsed. 🤞🏻 they‘re good! #bookhaul

This was such a fun book! The leftover heroes from a massive and tragic battle must reunite for a wedding. They are all 10 years older but not all of them have grown wiser. I loved the very real way it takes on loss and trauma and the growth and struggles of the main characters while also providing a top notch story and fantasy world. Beatrice, Elowen & Clare are compelling and you root for them!

2.5 Stars • Meh • This Will Be Fun follows four friends - Clare, Beatrice, Elowen, and Galwell - who reunite at a wedding. Each is dealing with personal issues: Clare with divorce, Beatrice with commitment fears, Elowen with work stress, and Galwell with career woes. Their reunion stirs up past dynamics, leading to humorous and poignant moments as they navigate their friendships and life's challenges together.

Meh. I could see what the author was trying to do but it fell just short for me. It felt like a really awkward high school reunion where everyone still has the emotional intelligence of a 16 year old. That said, I did like the final battle. A suitably epic ending.

A Hilarious tongue in cheek adventure filled with slow burn romances, overcoming trauma, remembering who you are, deciding who you want to be and a lot of hilarious satire on the more common tropes in fantasy. a cozy adjacent adventure, where four heroes must learn how to be heroes all over again, all the while trying to avoid the simmering resentment due to their shared pasts.
