Welcome to Litsy!

77/100 What an amazing book!! I can't believe it took me so long to read this series, I'm kicking myself. Jasper Fforde never disappoints, his writing is so clever, so witty and just fun to read. It's a crazy idea, being able to enter works of fiction, but he makes it plausible and exciting. I've never read Jane Eyre, but I like the new ending better too 5 🌟 read. #Read2025 #SeriesLove2025

This series has been a total guilty pleasure! So much like a soap opera…but this was a good end to the series!

I rooted for Rin and overall loved how morally grey she felt. There were several secondary characters that weren't really fleshed out.

This book was brutal, even hard to read for all the cruelty. I think atmosphere was well created but not pleasant.

There was a lot of action, there weren't many slow moments. I think I would have loved to have a more concrete plot but I am not sure - this worked like this and somehow I loved the ending.

This is my #DoubleSpin for August, and I'm glad I finally read it! I love the “Thursday Next“ series, and I can't wait until the next book, Dark Reading Matter comes out next year. #SciFiSummer

My father had a face that could stop a clock.

Jasper Fforde really knows how to start a book 🤣

When I read about this, I was super pumped for it, but it ended up just meh. It‘s too much backstory and just plain didn‘t hold my attention. I kinda wish I had bailed.

75/100 I'm not a devoted Holmesian, but I thought this was a delightfully supernatural take on the Holmes & Watson stories. I liked Dr Doyle, a more intelligent and far less bumbling version of Watson, and I have to admit their secret caught me totally by surprise. Crow, the stand for Holmes, was witty and innocent, not nearly as caustic as Holmes could be at times. I hope the author plans a sequel, since the ending ⬇️

I wish this kind of read was available when I was a teenager!

As a book about a girl and her dragon, this book was splendid fun. As a book about an indigenous island girl and her endangered species dragon, this is the kind of book I've been waiting for...as an indigenous reader, this fantasy is a treasure 📚🐉💖.

I prefer books without battles, but some may find this a bit slow paced.

A bit dense, but worth it. 4/5 stars
