The Lines We Cross | Randa Abdel-Fattah

The Lines We Cross | Randa Abdel-Fattah

This book literally makes me laugh out loud sometimes! It covers pretty deep stuff but the way the author writes some dialogue between the friends Mina and Paula makes me laugh! They're the kind of friends I'd love to have around!

I'll Give You the Sun | Jandy Nelson

It's been 1 year since I joined Litsy and in that time I've read (from cover to cover) 43 wonderful, exciting, eye-opening, fantastic books! I didn't really have a goal for how many I wanted to read in a year but I'm very proud of how well I did! Here's to another year hopefully as full of great books as the first!

Half of a Yellow Sun | Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

From the start, this book had enthralled me! Chimamanda is an amazing, intelligent, eloquent and poignant writer who I am now hopelessly devoted to. I will definitely be reading more of her works, and most likely loving them too!

Thank you mom for giving me a copy of "Call of the Wild/White Fang" when I was younger. I really do remember loving the book for the story, but also for the words. I loved the book because the words were beautiful, even the ones I couldn't grasp the meaning of yet. I still feel the beauty of words and I hope I always do.

Dang! Life has been crazy busy and I feel like I haven't been on litsy in so long! For my language arts class we are reading this classic and I'm torn between loving the book and hating the descriptions of the hunting. I also "accidentally" managed to have 12 library books checked out right now? I'm currently reading "Boys Without Names" and it's worth a read in my opinion! Glad to be back and hopefully I'll be posting more frequently than I have

Honestly a good introduction to past and present DC characters. I would recommend this to anyone who knows basic information on DC characters, but wants to explore the entire comics universe. I really enjoyed this story, and the way it was laid out. 10/10 stars!

Contact | Carl Sagan

This is an interesting writing style that I don't usually come across! A fiction book that reads like nonfiction, yet still manages to make the story feel alive. I like the book, and I can't wait to see what happens next!

I really need to start The Merciless but I'm reading 3 books right now so I'm not sure. I think I'll try to finish at least one before I start another.

Happy 100th birthday to Roald Dahl! I loved reading these books and the memoirs when I was younger! I loved the movies as well! I once had an impressive collection of these books too! My favorite book was "The Witches" but I liked "The Twits" as well!

The Fall of Butterflies | Andrea Portes

And I give up on this book...I'm just going to quietly say I don't recommend it- I really don't want to rant right now so, here's me quitting the book with no further comment.

blurb
NadinetheReader

Sometimes I ask myself why I'm reading 4 books right now, and then I just go back to reading.

I hope everyone else has had a good time reading during this 3-day weekend!

Threats: A Novel | Amelia Gray

Ok I don't think I'll continue reading this book, around chapter 10 I realize it's a bit...weirder than I thought.

Threats: A Novel | Amelia Gray

Wow this book reminds me so much of "Twin Peaks"', maybe not the plot but the type of writing gives it a "Twin Peaks"-ish feel! I read about this book online and it was recommended for Twin Peaks fans and, well, they were right! I am so happy I found this book-I'm going to read every book by this author if the rest are all this good!

This Savage Song | Victoria Schwab

Ok, ok, so I'm not doing that great on my reading decathlon (I have read 2 books so far) but I'm just going to try my best, if anything, I at least managed to finish a couple of books I would have just postponed further.

Josie You did great!!!! Sometimes life gets in the way of reading. 8y

I'm sorry but I really disliked reading this. I bailed on chapter 3. This love triangle is ridiculous and the plot is just meh. The first one was ok I guess but I'm not even going to finish this one. I had high hopes but was ultimately let down.

Crown's Game | Evelyn Skye

Apparently this book has its own board game for free! When I get the chance I think I'll go to a printer place and have it printed on cardstock or poster paper! Also, I've been looking at author blogs lately and apparently there's going to be a Lunar Chronicles graphic novel in January 2017?!! How exciting! It's already on my wish list😂🌙😍📚!

"It was only one man who had gone, but it felt like forever, something so permanent and unstoppable that it blasted her. If she were a tree, she would drop all her leaves."

Wow. That is a really striking way to describe grief. My heart aches from reading that section and at how vulnerable the character is. I was not ready for all of these emotions I'm currently feeling.???
