Welcome to Litsy!

Reread (2012, 2025)
I love all the Forever Friends, but Katie is my favorite. She grows up so much in this, her own series, while also remaining her authentic self.

When I was a kid, I was obsessed with RL Stine's Fear Street books. I'm happy to finally start building my Fear Street collection. Here is what I've been able to find so far second hand. 😀

Mia, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
Parking meters, really?????

This was a bit whiny, so it is totally believable. Lilly saying that the made for TV movie made her look like a bad friend. LOOK IN THE MIRROR, SISTER.
But honestly, Lilly was much better and way more supportive. Especially when it came to her best friend and her brother. That was really nice.

This one really fell flat for me.

The plot was a cut and past of the previous books in the series with only a slight variation in the exact location of where things went down. The characters have had no growth throughout the series and it‘s made extremely clear in this one. I wouldn‘t continue and read the last book in this series but as I own it and Specials was supposed to be the last in the series I do plan to read on and see what Extras adds.

This wasn't perfect and showed its age, especially with some of the throw away comments. But it was a fun, fast paced read. I loved Meg Cabots' books in high school and they are still fun now, especially how she takes scenarios like psychic powers or being a medium that happens to regular teenagers.

I love this series so much, I‘m kind of sad that it now ended. I think my favorite thing about this is that Harley finds what she wants to do in life while discovering her friends were captured. She? Of course; saved them with a little help from Poison Ivy. I just love their relationship and trails.

Cute little book quick read

Read the Malinda Lo story for #QueerBC, and some of the others. Lo's is a lighthearted “Roman Holiday“ plot in a not particularly different future. Kind of meh, honestly. I liked Mason Deaver's “boy band members ran away for the weekend and fall in love,“ and a love triangle story that ended, as so many readers hope they will, in a polyamorous relationship!

Very cute, but probably could‘ve been shorter. An enjoyable read, and I‘d be open to reading the other books in the series!

Lilly still sucks. Tina should be her real best friend.

Mia's bodyguard, Lars is the only option I would accept if I were required a bodyguard.

All of the adults in Mia's life are fun, but in different ways. It seems like she has mostly good role models.
Her dad, Philippe again steals the show. He is so cool.
