Welcome to Litsy!

I found this in a little free library today , I believe it was meant for me to find it . Let‘s read ❤️

Found the first half of the book kind of boring, but once they got back to the Capitol was when the book got interesting. I really liked the unique design of the new arena and the world building. At first I didn‘t care for the new characters, they were all weird and annoying, but somehow the author got me to care about them, I even cared when some of them died.

Talia Hibbert‘s young adult debut is a sweet and super emotionally real romance in dual POV that had me rooting for these friends to enemies to lovers. I‘m not the target audience and not a big fan of YA books, so I did get a little bored and didn‘t have as much fun as with Hibbert‘s Brown Sisters trilogy. One thing that bothered me was a positive reference to Kanye West‘s music given West‘s antisemitism and a MC is into conspiracy theories.

Another great audiobook, and great book 😊

4.5/5

Good, not my favorite, but still good. I love Sabé, I could use a spin-off series all based on her adventures and journey. And Padmé‘s trip on a Wookie ship was quite enjoyable. But for Padmé herself, I think it gets harder to read as we get closer to the eventual end of her storyline…like a horror movie where you want to yell at them to get out now, but they won‘t listen….you should feel happy for her, but instead you feel sad dread.

Finished my #bookspin while killing time before work, and to be honest I didn‘t like it. I‘ve enjoyed most of Gregory‘s other work, but this was a huge disappointment for me. Also, the character of Freize was annoying and rather sexist in my opinion. ⭐️⭐️

This author has a fan in me for life. I LOVE the way she writes adolescence and lets the characters think appropriately for their age and feel their feelings and wrestle with love, friendship, self esteem, and race. I‘m captivated by her females leads each time in their humanity and desires and curiosities. It‘s the kind of book I hope teens do pick up to see themselves represented as they are.

This mark is almost pure perfection for this 📖But instead of a Princess, we get a prince

The 👺 has been slain. Arek (against his wishes) agrees to be🤴for an hr or so, as they free the rightful heir. But his 1 hr gig becomes indefinite when they realize the Princess is☠️Since he accepted the👑, Arek entered a magical contract. “Til death do us part” w/ some extra requirements like, finding a 💕 . Pitched as a fantasy romcom, it 💯 delivered
