Welcome to Litsy!

I enjoyed this ambitious, carefully constructed, clever work of Historical Fantasy and learned a lot about oppressive colonial capitalism; and even more about language. I loved all the mini word translation lessons. Occasionally heavy-handed? Maybe. Too long? For me, yes. I sped it up to 2x for the second half and the main character‘s inner monologue of doubt and confusion grew tiresome. I did appreciate the ending and occasional flashes of humor.

Having just finished the first book I am so excited to start this one!!! I love the silliness and the adventure in the first book and this one seems taking right off from the first. #42 #TheRestaurantAtTheEndOfTheUniverse #longtitle #Ford #Vogons🤢

I'm starting this long book since I'm basically stuck in the house (although it's with a toddler and a baby). It will probably take forever for me to get through it as it's a good 641 pages long - wish me luck! Not sure if this will be more horror or fantasy but I'm excited to see what it brings. I'm also loving this cover!

My love for HP grows every day. I've been watching the movies again. Tomorrow it will be time for The Goblet of Fire. Do you have a favorite movie? ✨

My favorite defensive spell is definitely Expecto Patronum! I was basically on years after watching that last scene in the Prisoner of Azkaban. 😭

The first half was great, but the second half lost me in some places. This is a very character driven story, and there are several different plot lines to follow. Many of the characters deal with intense and important issues. As a young teacher, who also grew up with technology, the characters were relatable and interesting. I felt that there were several unanswered questions.

Book #3 for #readathon

#booktober catch-up 3 for 1! #bookssetinaschool #setinaschool. I was in middle school when this came out and I thought Korman a genius and the book hilarious. Just googled it and found out Prime Minister Justin Trudeau thought so too! It doesn't have a super #longtitle but apparently in 2003 the publisher thought so and shortened it to This Can't Be Happening! And Bruno and Boots were great co- #sidekicks. @RealLifeReading

This collection of #shortstories could double as my #diversereads and it is a debut (although not a #debutnovel). I'm about halfway through in a year because I lost it in a move and almost gave up looking. So glad I found it. Luce writes imaginatively and charmingly without once sacrificing skill and style. The ten stories delight and enchant beginning with the first entry wherein the narrator relates the story of a prophetic toaster. #booktober +

Trying to catch up on #booktober. Haven't read this (and probably won't) but what a title: "The advent in which Emma sued her Guardian Angel". #longtitle #deutsch #german

I had forgotten about this book's #longtitle for Day 12 of #booktober . It's a must read for all the fans of Audrey Hepburn and Breakfast at Tiffany's 😊

How did I get so behind on the photo challenge?! Here's my pick for #longtitle

It was a weird, futuristic ya read that I would recommend. The two main characters drink bats and then can see the future...yeah, that's the gist. #ya
