Welcome to Litsy!

Litsy is back! The Christopher Robin trailer made me look up the Pooh books on my shelves to remind myself of how Pooh looked like.

Another from my library! I was going to post Ready Player One since I'm watching it today, but I couldn't find my copy. Then I remembered that I gave it away and haven't replaced it yet! Anyway, Armada isn't as good but I didn't hate it the way a lot of other people I know seem to. I rather enjoyed it - I mean, I read HP, a little derivative-ness isn't going to make me hate a book!

Today's random book from my library is inspired by @Purrsistently 's recent Fruits Basket posts, which reminded me of how much I love this series! Also now I realise that I'm missing my Volume 1... (I think I want to get the perfect editions to replace my current ones!)

I have two favourite books, and this is one of them. It's a retelling of the ballad Tam Lin and I love how it starts feeling just like a realistic novel about Janet in college (I will forever wish for a similar college experience; mine was nowhere near as fun) but when the fantastic elements appear it's as if it's been there all along and now we're just seeing another layer of the story.

I think in between reads I may just randomly catalog books from my personal library, or books I find at the store that I think are interesting. This is one of the former.

One of my older books, I bought this when I was living in VA. I'm really not a fan of Wolverine but I'm a HUGE fan of Yoshitaka Amano, and the art alone is worth the price of the book!

Rather than being too similar to To All the Boys I've Loved Before, which is what I've heard, it reads like a perfect companion to it.

To be honest going into this book without knowing anything other than it's about Lady Jane Grey may not have been the best idea; it turns out to be a fantasy! It's still hilarious so I guess that's fine.

Rereading the series before I start on Cursed Child this Sunday!

Rereading ANY Diana Wynne Jones is a treat, and I ALWAYS find something new that I never seemed to have noticed before. And this one proves to be the same, as well as hilarious, with so many quotable lines, and still manages to be as enchanting as the first time I read it.

I'm a bit torn about this book right now - I'm enjoying the writing, but not the characters, and I'm wondering if it's really YA? But then again, why not? They do remind me of my teenage years... an extreme version of it, maybe.
