Welcome to Litsy!

What a thrilling fantasy adventure!

From the very first chapter, I was hooked into the story. The story centers on two young women, Menilmonea and Aureal, who go on an adventure to find out why their village‘s Titan won‘t wake up. Right away, you can tell something is amiss in their world and the story slowly reveals itself.

If you‘ve seen reviews for this book, you‘ll know a lot of people hated it, but I didn‘t. I liked it for what it was. A cute and fluffy young adult holiday romance. I wasn‘t expecting anything revolutionary or for it to be the greatest romance I‘ve ever read.

This book had a very fun concept. It‘s an advent book, so you open and read one chapter every day.

Wow! This middle grade graphic novel packed quite the emotional punch!

The story is based on the author‘s own life. It followed Cindy at age 12 when she discovers some major family secrets.

I loved the structure of the this book. It was a linear story with some flashbacks. The flashbacks added to the story and were well placed.

I am familiar with the Wicked musical and movies as well as the first Wizard of Oz book. I knew going into the book that it was going to be different from all of those.

I have to say I was surprised by how much I ended up liking this one!

What a fun and exciting graphic novel!

The book is set in 1992 and is about 5 high schoolers who play a role-playing game that comes alive. It reminded me of Jumanji and the Gryphons and Gargoyles season of Riverdale.

The story was easy to follow along. I liked how the characters were introduced with a short bio stating their name, age, and clique.

This was a cute Christmas romance!

The story was hilarious. The fake dating at Christmas was an entertaining premise. This truly was a romantic comedy. There were so many laugh out loud and crazy moments.

There were also a lot of pop culture references throughout which I enjoyed. They added to the humor of the story.

This was a very unique read! I hadn‘t read anything like it before.

It blends fact and fiction to create a “history” of animals starting from the Paleozoic Era all the way to present day and beyond. Basically it personifies animals and tells their story in relation to humans. The animals are presented in a very human way.

What an exciting political thriller!

The best part of the book were the characters. I loved the two main characters, Kostas and Jessica. Sometimes in thrillers characters can take a backseat to the action of the story, but not here. They were well developed and I loved their bond.

The story was well crafted. It was fast paced and had short chapters.

This was so fun and so cute!

First off, I loved the premise. Two “enemies” have to work together to help their best friends propose to each other. As part of their ruse to keep it a secret, they end up fake dating.

I loved the proposal planning parts. Planning dual proposals was such a unique concept and made the story so entertaining.
