Welcome to Litsy!

This book was so much fun!

A medieval retelling of Legally Blonde was something I never knew I needed! I‘m a huge Legally Blonde fan but I never realized that it could be retold in such a unique way. As a retelling, it worked very well. The original characters were translated very well. Clía, the female lead, definitely gave Elle Woods vibes.

her nose in a book,
she craved a quiet nook — to
get lost in its world. 📚

This was a cute witchy romance!

The premise is super fun. It‘s about two witches who fall in love during a spell casting reality show competition. The competition parts were very entertaining to read.

The romance aspect worked very well. The two leads, Penelope and Gil, made a great couple. I loved their dynamic and their chemistry.

she scarcely registers
the cold, warmed from the inside
out — lost in her book. 📚

What am I #grateful for? Every year at Thanksgiving we take turns saying one thing we are thankful for & for many years now my answer has been: books. It is of course, the characters, entertainment & wisdom that they have provided. Friends, really 💙 Also, all the wonderful connections I have made in the nearly decade (!!) I have been on Litsy, the best social media site for talking about books.

This was such a cute fall romance!

So many people have read this book, so when I saw it TJ Maxx (for a great price) I knew it was time to give it a shot. I thoroughly enjoyed it!

This book was loaded with fall vibes! It gave me all the autumn feels while reading it.

The romance was super sweet but basic.

This was an insightful look into the creation of Frankenstein!

I read Frankenstein earlier this year and loved it, so naturally I had to read this book. I was impressed that Mary Shelley wrote a masterpiece at age 19.

The best part of the book was the depiction of female rage. Mary‘s rage starts off quietly and then slowly simmers into an inferno.

Library therapy wins over retail therapy imo (gentler on the wallet). Swallows is the new one by Kirino, author of Out

What a fun book!

This is not your traditional murder mystery book since it‘s not written in a novel format. Instead, you are given all the pieces to solve the mystery yourself. These included pictures, interview transcripts, notes, maps, newspaper articles, etc.
