Welcome to Litsy!

$6 for these beauties. Building an area in my office with books kids can take home and keep after our session for the little book lovers. Library sales are a favorite place to look for books 📚 A few of the adult books looked lonely so I saved them too.

This would be a perfect fall read, and Luthien thinks I‘ve stayed up too late reading the rest of it! Anna is a teenager in a family with psychic powers that also run a bed & breakfast. She meets Colin, who is just now learning his own connection to magic after the murder of his parents. Together they work to find the killers. The book has a sequel, but it also works very well as an independent story.

#MiddleGrade #TRS2023

A cute exploration of one crowd-pleasing rabbit‘s struggle to make friends with a neighbor she admires. Not necessarily a pick for me, but definitely well suited to the target age group. I love the references to their favorite magical girl anime. I slipped this in for my #RushathonChristmasBingo free space. #Comics #YoungReaders

This middle grade story takes place in the days leading up to Samhain and has cozy fall vibes while the characters fight an evil wraith.

This was a hard one for me to rate because I thought it was a fun story, but at the same time, it didn't feel developed enough. It didn't have much depth, which is fine in a middle grade book, but I think it would have made the book richer. I didn't find it memorable. While being something I really wanted to enjoy, I felt indifferent toward it. I'm going to read the next book, and maybe that will help sort out my mixed feelings.

This was a lovely middle grade. It does deal with grief, death, and murder of parents. The main characters are about 14 in age.

Ravenfall is a magical B&B standing at the border between our world & the Otherworld & the family that runs it all has useful magical powers except for Anna whose only power is foreseeing death. But then Colin shows up looking for his missing brother & information about the magical creature that killed their parents. Soon, even greater mysteries are revealed even as the border between the Otherworld & ours weakens. A fun story with sequel coming.

Still feeling those middle grade spooky autumnal vibes so going with this Goodreads Choice award nominated book for today‘s reading.

Interesting that it all started with Book-It program from the 1990s! My girls loved it-for reading the required # of books, they got a personal pan pizza 🍕
