Welcome to Litsy!

I did like this story, but it wasn‘t as dark as I had anticipated. I think my dark meter for YA must be off because I was expecting some seriously sinister twist and this story played out the way I thought it would. The illustrations are gorgeous and the use of color sets the tone well for many of the panels. Glad I read this #graphicnovel, but I‘m equally glad that I borrowed it from my local library.

This is one of those times where I think the story would have been really good in regular book format. As a graphic novel Piper felt kind of rushed. I tend to like retellings though I have to say this is the first one I've read that was a retelling of the story of the Pied Piper. I did like that in this story it showed what made Piper do the things he did in the end and the kinder side of him when he is with the character Maggie.

This is another take on the Pied Piper story. The story was good though only attraction was the graphics and the bittersweet ending. On one hand I hated the guy, on the other I understood him as well. It is a quick read, worth a try.

This book looked so interesting when I read the synopsis, but I was sadly disappointed. It was really short, really confusing, and felt kind of rushed. Then again, graphic novels are an entirely different way of telling stories than regular novels, so part of this may have come from my lack of experience with this format. Also, I don‘t know the original story of the Pied Piper 😬 Maybe this is for some people, but not for me.

I liked this take on the Pied Piper story, just wished it was longer. The end felt very rushed and seemed to jump a bit like pages were missing?

This is definitely a pick for me. The love story that you experience in this book isn‘t quite like other love stories I‘ve read. It‘s so passionate and loving. I can truly say this book has the type of love story everybody should want! 💗💗 #jayashnerwhatlight #jayasher #passion #love #christmas #treefarm #romance

A sweetly sad retelling of the pied piper

Why does Monday come around so quickly? I don't want to be working today, I want to be home reading. This book is getting so good! #winterreads #readingchallenge #jayasher #carolynmackler #youngadult

I'm actually really excited to start this one. Set in 1996, just at the cusp of the beginning of the internet. I remember when you had to plug into the phone line if you wanted to go on the internet which then meant you had no phone. #winterreads #bookchallenge #ya #youngadult #jayasher #carolynmackler

This book made my Hallmark dreams come true ?The second you plunge into the second chapter you can't help but sing along to Haley Reinhart's famous song "I can't help but falling in love with you" ?
This one is absolutely perfect for the holiday season ❄️
