Welcome to Litsy!

Northanger May is behind us and Northanger Adaptation June is ahead! I'm going for a re-watch of the 2007 film (they get it so right!), a handful of YA versions (the perfect genre for this one, can't deny it) and a book centered on the flowers and plants in Austen's work. Perfect timing as I get my own garden in gear, and who knows - maybe it'll help me learn to love a hyacinth??

Who else has some adaptations to explore this month?

I loved the concept of a complete stranger winning billions out of the blue, especially one that was down on her luck. The character development is excellent and I truly cared for Avery, Libby and the Hawthorn brothers. It also displayed conflict between all the teenage dynamics realistically. Plus, how this situation would affect people close to Avery, like Libby and Max. Overall, it was fast paced and I couldn‘t put it down…ready for the 2nd one

A fast paced, secret filled, mystery inheritance, billionaire family filled story. Loved it and can‘t wait to read the next one. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

So cute! After a failed one night stand, Alexis, a shy school librarian, enters into a fake dating agreement with Texas gubernatorial candidate Logan, when a suggestive photo of them ends up online. I really liked both characters, and rooted for them!

3/5 ⭐️ the story ended up being a little different than I expected, but still had a couple moments where I teared up!

George Floyd was murdered in fairly recent history, but this book is so well researched that it takes the reader all the way back to his family roots during times of slavery and sharecropping. I am so glad I read it. I came out of the experience with a better understanding of systemic racism and the conviction that we can never ever give up the fight for justice. George Floyd!
