Welcome to Litsy!

This definitely had its moments, especially in the development of Alec as a character and in showing his commitment to Magnus. But the prose was often so weak, and Magnus, an immortal being with centuries of wisdom and experience, came off as TSTL. I had hoped to be reminded of why I love this series but mostly I was reminded of why I stopped reading it. 😔

This was a horror novel, and it had plenty of good gross gore, but it also did a good job of touching on systemic homophobia. There were some very sweet parts, too. I read it in a hurry for book club, and it is fast-paced, so I breezed right through it.

The author has come a long way from writing dino porn. Whoever they are, they are actually quite talented.

"HEARTSTOPPER FOREVER" is the official title of the finale movie!

The series is finally coming to an end, as the filming has wrapped up. The movie will be out on Netflix in 2026!

This finale movie is based on Alice Oseman's upcoming Volume 6 in the Heartstopper graphic novel series. She previously stated that the movie won't be released before Volume 6 of the graphic novel is published.

Was very happy with my scores from the Little Free Library on the way to ballet last night. The 2 kids books are super cute and I didn‘t get to see the tagged author at the Sydney Writer‘s Festival this year so this book was a very pleasant surprise. It was pointe class last night and my big toe nail is dying making everything extra painful however I don‘t look as though I‘m in pain in the video. Ah the ballet illusion! 💛

I love the ancient Greeks and their gods and heroes, so I don‘t know why it took so long for me to pick this up. I struggled for the first few chapters, but I‘m so glad I persevered. I fell into the story utterly and completely and devoured it. The storytelling is nothing short of beautiful ❤️

“Yes, he thought maybe he mattered after all, a lesson in the unexpected. Wasn‘t that the point? Wasn‘t that the great answer to the mystery of life? To make the most of what you have while you have it, the good and the bad, the beautiful and the ugly. In death, Wallace had never felt more alive.”
