Welcome to Litsy!

This retelling of 'Romeo & Juliet' had a great deal of promise & it looked like an intriguing read. Unfortunately it didn't quite work. Most of the characters were quite flat including Romeo, whose whole personality was his being in love with Juliet.

Runajo & Juliet were by far the more interesting storyline but even there I don't think the full potential was utilised. (continued)

Two knights with different world views are enemies in real life and friends and partners in a popular role playing game. There is a lot to take in but it was a fun way to receive it.

I don‘t usually like Greek myth retellings, though I‘ve had some luck with some of Haynes‘s books and I liked this one, too. I didn‘t read the description and actually didn‘t realize who Jocasta was until about halfway through, which was fun.

I'm such a greek mythology nerd and I studied the odyssey and the aenied in college - this was such a loving retelling of Achilles and Patroclus's story. I'm now going to go play Hades to see them together in the afterlife and feel better

This was a cute cozy read. I enjoyed reading this story. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Keeping it reasonable for my April #PemberLittens reading! I've never read Longbourn (!) so it's time, and I can't wait for Jane Austen's Bookshelf. I loved Price's funny S&S mystery so I'm glad to be reading what came before it and Bellezza/Harding's Emma adaptation was so clever that I bought the tagged book the instant it was released. I waited a long time to read it but now seems like the perfect moment, as a kickoff to a month of adaptations.

“One person‘s pain doesn‘t negate another‘s. Our heartaches are not competition, but the bridge to empathy. So that we can look at one another and know that on some level, we understand.”

It was ok, but wasn‘t good enough for me to want to pick up the sequel.

April #ReadYourKindle picks. There are a few on here I might just read even if they aren't picked 😀
