Welcome to Litsy!

This is a sweet, heart-warming, and optimistic coming-of-age story. Bridger is a nerdy, awkward trivia junkie with a passion for learning; he‘s also still figuring himself out, and is stressing out over the prospect of having to define himself for others right now. When he discovers the true nature of his boss, a whole new world is revealed to him, one where no one has any expectations of him and what he should be. #fantasy #magic #comingofage

This was a fun one. I can‘t remember he last fantasy I read not set in a fictional place. I liked the story & all the characters. Bridger gets a job as an assistant for who he thinks is just an eccentric guy. But when a mermaid attempts to drown him, he discovers that his boss Pavel is really an intermediary between the human world and myths & that myths have been going haywire for a few months. Bridger needs to help Pavel keep the myths safe. 5⭐️

Dewey‘s 24-hour readathon wrap-up! Def not my most productive readathon, but I still had a great relaxing day and was glad to make some reading progress. I started & finished the tagged book; finished an eARC that I was almost done with; and read about 1/3 of each of the bottom 2 books. Considering I hadn‘t read basically anything this month before Dewey‘s, I‘m pretty happy! #readathon

(I‘m not actually at the beach, this is an old photo 😂) but this was a cute/funny contemporary fantasy about Bridger navigating school and whether he‘s ready to come out as bisexual when two earth-shattering things happen: a cute boy moves into town and he gets a job assisting an intermediary between our world and the world of myth. Many supernatural and adorable shenanigans ensue. Great for fans of urban fantasy and/or rom-coms. #readathon

Kicking off the #readathon with a fun read and a matcha latte! @DeweysReadathon 📚🍵

I made a super overly ambitious tbr stack for Dewey‘s tomorrow! Honestly if I can read anything it‘ll be an accomplishment, I‘ve basically read nothing all week! @DeweysReadathon #readathon

I love the cover and chapter headers! They make me chuckle every time I see them. 😊😊😊

“...Bridger would be perfectly happy in Michigan if he wouldn‘t have to explain himself to everyone for the rest of his life.”

Aw, kid, I totally feel you on this one. 😢

What a delightful romp through the crazy wonderful life of high school senior Bridger Whitt. Man does he have a lot going on from a new job, which requires he enter via the roof of the building and that he ignore the strange voices he hears, to a growing fascination with & crush on his new next door neighbor Leo who just happens to be a star football player. Myth & the human world collide in strange and unexpected ways in this fun & funny YA read.

“...the Gaiman effect.”

Love it!

Oooh this book is fun!

Have you seen this cover? How can you see this cover and not want to read this book?!? Seriously, I need to know what‘s happening here. Right? A UNICORN IS CHASING A DUDE!!! ACROSS THE COVER OF THIS BOOK!!! So, yeah, this book isn‘t just at the top of my TBR pile, it‘s my next read. ❤️🦄📚🦄❤️

This gets 2/5 stars for decent bisexual boy representation (although I was a bit puzzled by the complete lack of bi/homophobia, especially in the context of a high school football team in Michigan??), but tbh the rest is kinda bad: flat characters, mediocre and annoying writing, uninspired use of fantasy tropes, predictable and boring plot. Some teens will probably really like this, but it was a chore for me to get through. #BisexualBooks

This is my new book to rave about to people. It's a small publisher but oh so good. It's funny, a little unexpected and plays with the tropes you love. I love all the characters and can't wait to get a hold of her other books! Please go take a look. It's SO much fun!!

Also Litsy doesn't like this title for some reason. It didn't want to come up and won't show the whole cover. :/
