Welcome to Litsy!

Persepolis was the first graphic novel I ever read, and I really enjoyed reading a memoir in this medium. As things get progressively worse in Iran, the Satrapi family goes on an abrupt vacation for three weeks to Spain and Italy. Satrapi depicts the reprieve from the Revolution as a magical carpet ride. #rockinmay #magiccarpetride

I read this in social psychology and it really stuck with me. #magiccarpetride #rockinmay

I loved reading this retelling of A Thousand and One Nights, so it was an easy pick for #MagicCarpetRide. #RockinMay

This book has a literary connection to the story of Aladdin because of the magical oil lamp that contains the Genie. Also connected by the magic carpet to Butt the Hoopoe because that is how both the ‘hero‘ characters are transported.#rockinmay #magiccarpetride

Quentin, Plum, and crew take a #magiccarpetride in the big heist scene that opens the third book in this trilogy.

Are Quentin and his friends pretty despicable in The Magicians? Yes they are. But over the course of the next two books Quentin grows up. They all do. Well, except for Penny. He's pretty much consistently a total jerk.

One of the few series I've read where each book is better than the previous one. If you bailed, consider finishing

This might be a little on the nose for #magiccarpetride, but I love this cover so I definitely wanted an excuse to take a picture of it!! #rockinmay

I have started this book several times, but seem unable to finish it. I don't know why. It's good, and I like the story. Hopefully next month. #rockinmay #magiccarpetride

It's been quite a while since I read this, which does feature #magiccarpetride. I liked it a lot, but don't recall too much details now. A family's grandpa, was a hakawati (storyteller), and his old Middle Eastern tales are interwoven in this novel along with stories of this Lebanese family's saga.
