Welcome to Litsy!

So the How To Train Your Dragon Christmas special the other night got me in the mood to watch the first special they did. Are these two cute or what? ❤️

3.5⭐️

In a time when dragons are disappearing, Hiccup recounts his earlier years when he had to capture his dragon and learn how to train in. I listened to this on audiobook and had an absolute blast with it. The best part for me though was the level of sass that Toothless possessed throughout the entire book. Very entertaining, comical and good natured.

Listened to the audiobook because the sixth-graders are reading it in ELA. It was a lot of fun—though nothing like the movie. David Tennant‘s narration was completely delightful (though I could have done without Toothless‘ stammer, which was unfortunate). Overall, it was a great production and story. #LibrariansofLitsy

Normally I listen to audiobooks on double time but this is David Tennant we are talking about here.

Read by David Tennant, which was a freaking treat, but if you go into this with the movie in mind you'll be pretty surprised. Characters and places have the same names, but that's about it. (6pts. 5 for book, 1 for post)

I‘ve seen – and loved – all the movies and heard only good things about the audio books. And I was not disappointed. Even though it is very different from the movies, I had an insta love.
I adore Hiccup and Toothless‘s relationship, and I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE that Toothless has his own voice.
The narration of this audio is excellent.

This was a cute story. I‘ll be honest, I would never have read or listened to it if it hadn‘t been read by David Tennant.

My one complaint is the audiobook had music in it and it was SO MUCH LOUDER than the actual story. When I had my headphones in, it hurt my ears.

Glad to have finished 1 Audiobook already! #bookfitnesschallenge Round 2 #SmallSteppers

I did forget to stretch before my walk this morning, but I remembered cool down stretch!

I need some Audiobook recommendations!

I‘ve been struggling to find an audiobook that I can get into from my TBR. I don‘t like long, slow audiobooks because they can‘t keep my attention.

I‘ve decided to try to break my slump by listening to children‘s books read by great narrators (David Tennant & Jim Dale)!

Let me know if you have any recommendations! I need to listen to at least 5 audiobooks for the next 6 weeks! 😂

#BookFitnessChallenge

#readathon wrap up: finished four books and a Comic - not too bad for a first readathon😊 I‘ve enjoyed it a lot and am looking foward to the next😍

Finished part one of the series for #dewesreadathon
It was a very quick and cute read, I‘ve enjoyed it even though I was surprises that it had about nothing in common with the film. 4/5⭐️

I did sleep quite a long time and now I have plans (which is why I had to sleep) so I guess I will try to read 12 hours for the #readathon which is a good time for a first readathon I guess😊 I just finished my 10th hour, 2 more to go💪🏼 but first:sports.

Something light before going to bed. I‘ve just passed my 9th hour of reading. It is almost 2am and as I have plans for tomorrow I‘m afraid I should go to sleep soon... #readathon

Ok, this is totally adorable!

Since how to train your Dragon-the hidden world is coming out soon I thought I would read at least the first book. It's very different from the movie (more than I usually find) but still very entertaining and funny. The illustrations are quite goofy which makes the book even better. Its light and easy which is just what I was looking for after reading The Book Theif.

My daughter is completely obsessed with this book series, and I can‘t blame her. We read aloud every night and my Viking accent is getting better.
Very different to the movie adaptation but equally wonderful and fun

Another Litsy inspired purchase!! Still looking back to see who inspired me to look for this on amazon but in the meantime- thank you!!! ❤️😂

My daughter used to like this series.

I was trying to take a photo of the book with the bulgogi kimbap that this boy is eating for lunch when he decided to photobomb. He wants you to know that he really likes the book but that the movie is better than the book because “movie Toothless is better”.

Since I couldn't read due to my migraine, I finally watched How To Train Your Dragon for the first time and it was so good! It didn't really help my head any, but it was enjoyable. Hoping I'll wake up with my headache gone tomorrow and I can actually read some.

Me and my reading buddies

Someone‘s very absorbed

I thought I'd go with a black and white colour scheme.
I have had black ice cream. It's okay. 🍦
Those are SK books with cool covers. Cujo is on my TBR.📖
Then there's a silk saree.
I so want a Night Fury stuff toy!! 📽🎬
@JoScho This was fun! I wanted a black glitter background for you but it didn't come through on my app.

liked the movie but haven‘t read the book (yet). this is my bookshelf dragon, whose name is Duane :) #HopIntoSpring #Dragons

This was so delightful on audio!

My audiobook quality is bad, and I‘m not sure why. I‘m going to delete it and check it out from my library and then come back to this!

Moving on to this! I guess I‘m in a middle grade mood. But also this is narrated by David Tennant!

@CoffeeCatsBooks congrats on your litsy milestone! Thanks for the giveaway! These are my fur babies, ruffnutt and tuffnutt! Named, by my kids, after the twins in “how to train your dragon” #payitforward

Look what a Facebook friend sent to me!

It‘s a Toothless magnetic bookmark.

I ADORE Toothless! 🖤

This was a book club pick, but there wasn‘t a lot to discuss other than its lack of resemblance to the movie. Very young middle grade that had moments of humor. Just not a lot to hold an adult‘s attention, not to mention the complete and utter lack of female characters other than a mention or two of Hiccup‘s mom. #bookclub

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

While I still prefer he movie version, this book made me laugh out loud and David Tennant is the perfect narrator. Definitely going to try to request the rest of the series from the library.

#httyd #middlegrade #childrens

Just started this today and it is so funny! Very different from the movie but once again David Tennant is narrating so I couldn't resist!

#httyd #childrens #audiobook

Oh, that was utterly delightful. Hiccup‘s journey to becoming a hero is hilarious, sweet, & full of beautiful heart. David Tennant was a wonderful narrator, warm, funny, & creepy at the exact right moments. The variety of voices he used for the different characters was perfection. If you have a young reluctant reader at home or in school, I HIGHLY recommend this audiobook to hook them into a fantastic story. First for #24in48! ★★★★☆.

GOOOOOD MORNING LITTENS!
It‘s just about 8:30 here in the Midwest. I‘ve been listening to this wonderfully silly book as I putter around the apartment, waiting for my coffee to kick in. It‘s voiced by David Tennant so you can imagine how delightful my morning‘s been so far 😍😍 #24in48

I was browsing Pinterest for nothing particular when I scrolled upon this!! There was no tutorial, just a picture. I absolutely love How To Train Your Dragon!! The movies, the shows, the single book I read because that was all my library had. Now I'm going to spend the next several hours trying to figure out where I can buy this or how I can make it myself. Because ignoring all my responsibilities and books I need to read is what I'm good at.

Well, this is definitely a book for ten year old boys. I did not love it, but I am not the target audience so that's not a surprise! In general, I'd still recommend it to someone with kids, even if it wasn't my favourite.

Toothless is dressed up for the Justice League. #costumes #spookyoctober

#fyaphotoaday Day 2: Character Cars. Although Toothless isn't a YA character, he's close! And a great namesake for our Mini Cooper, which has red interior accents and the ability to light up blue when feeling particularly fiesty. (Or if I flip the switch. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯) -mc

I just binged these today. With a day's work that allowed for listening while working, I was delighted to drown out annoying coworker chatter and polish off both of these on #audiobook. The audiobooks are absolutely brilliant--I want David Tennant to read everything to me from now on. Everything!

This was finished mere minutes before my final stop on a one-day road trip for resident education! I'll be honest - I enjoy the plot of the movie more than the plot of this book, but as I could listen to David Tennant read the phone book, I believe that it was an excellent choice and will be continuing on in the series. #roadtripaudiobooking #sotired

Well, I guess I know what my next #audiobook is going to be! 😃 This is definitely a #blameitonLitsy... how could I resist once I found out these are narrated by David Tennant?!

My recently reorganised, and therefore in much better condition than normal, bookshelves. I have another bookshelf in the bedroom, but these are my two biggest in the living room 💕

So, do any of my Litsy friends have a bookstagram? I spontaneously decided to have one lol. If you do, comment your instagram name so I can follow!

Mine is gracethebookdragon btw 😋

#junebookbugs #teeth Ok, this is more about no teeth, but Toothless is a top-notch dragon (even if book and movie versions are very different).
