Welcome to Litsy!

Mimi discovers the art of magical baking while preparing for a baking competition at a local cafe and chaos breaks out within her family. This is a fun adaptation borrowing from A Midsummer Night‘s Dream. I enjoy books with kitchen magic, and Mimi is a charming character. This is middle grade, but it did feel like she was a little more clueless than I would have expected. #Magic #Baking #MiddleGrade #Adaptations

I very much enjoyed this magical and enchanting tale. I loved the combination of fact with fiction. The author did a fantastic job of bringing the characters alive and telling the story of the ‘fairy‘ photos. It‘s amazing to think that people actually thought they were real. Beautifully written and thoroughly entertaining, I can highly recommend it.

I‘m reading The Cottingley Secret by Hazel Gaynor with my online book group, https://thereadingloft.groups.io/g/main. The theme is a story about a picture or painting.

#CharacterCharm #FairyElfPixie I‘ve held on to this one for a long time ! It‘s cute!

I colored a picture of this Fairy on one of my coloring apps.

I‘ve got my #Roll100 picks for August all laid out! At least one of these will be moving off of my tbr and into my read pile this year 🤭 Thanks @PuddleJumper !

Finished my last book by Beth Krommes and absolutely loved everything about it. The artwork was superb as well as the fantasy tales of different creatures like fairies, gnomes, selkies, etc. Learned more about the fictional creatures and it's perfect for any age to read this book.

🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑I finished this one a while ago but totally forgot to post it. It was actually quite good, and it exceeded my expectations. It had complex character interactions and a lot of interesting lore.

Cute book and even cuter illustrations. This book is about a girl trying to find the fairies since she knows they are for real. I love the hidden fairies throughout the book and of course the rhymes as well.

Beautiful artwork. This book is told in four different stories in four different seasons. We see Hazel blowing off work to enjoy the summer fun, raising an owl in the spring, finding a new friend in autumn and getting lost in the winter. Lovely stories.
