Welcome to Litsy!

"Elves may be the ones the council blames, but they don't mean to stop there. Thinking that you will be fine because you're human is foolish"

YES! THIS! So many people need to really pay attention to this right now. I love when books use fantasy or sci-fi to discuss real world problems.
I'm loving this ARC and if it doesn't become a best seller when it's published I'm going to throw a freaking tantrum.

I found this while researching another book on #NetGalley and immediately snatched it up. It‘s weird seeing my name on a book so much, especially when it is such a tough subject.

Can‘t put this down! #arc

This is super fun and a great feminist fairytale retelling. And fantastic cover.

The suggested reading for this is as an adventure book - read a chapter a day until Christmas. I'm glad I didn't do that and read it all in one go, I wouldn't have finished the book otherwise.

This didn't work for me. I didn't enjoy the writing, and the plot was predictable.

Thanks to #Netgalley for the #ARC

I‘m not sure why I didn‘t DNF this. The main character, the plot, and the writing (so many similes) grated on my nerves throughout. I was curious about why the Swarm was created, but the answer left me unsatisfied.

I read Clytemnestra last year by Costanza Casati, and I thought there was no way she could top that book - boy, was I wrong! Where do I even start talking about Babylonia? The writing is beautiful and lyrical. The characters are so complex, strong, and real. The story is unbelievable.

Can you imagine being an orphan and rising to such fame? Semiramis was this person. No matter how hard life was, or how much it tried to keep her down, ⬇️

If you read The Little Book of Hygge, but still want some tips on finding joy in your work, then this is the book for you!

This was an extraordinarily well researched little book about finding joy and purpose in work, and what you can do if you find yourself in a situation where you can‘t. Some of the financial advice skirted a little too close to “millennials and their iced coffee” for me, but I appreciated the general advice. 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑

This is my first Haslett novel and the way that this author started peeling away the complexities of this mother and son to give us such a beautiful story makes me just want to read it again so that I can appreciate the journey more.

And the side characters in both of their lives added so much to this story.

Read this!

This is very cute. It has all of the good YA fantasy things. Adventure, intrigue, romance, and a mystery. And a pretty cover.
