Welcome to Litsy!

Even though I went to get some books for my baby nephew, I couldn‘t walk out without getting a few for myself. 😅🙈

BRO it was so good, like holy plot twist, 10/10

This was an amazing book and i really enjoyed the audiobook too.
@TheAromaofBooks this was my September #bookspin ♥️

Read this book. It‘s amazing, it was hard to get into at first and I almost bailed on it. But i‘m glad i didn‘t.

This was one of those books where you stay up later then you‘d like to to finish it. For a short time in the early middle, I thought it was pretty boring. But then, the plot picked up and I couldn‘t put it down. 5⭐️

Picked this book back up after a hiatus! Gotta have the wine .

I don‘t know if the twists in Red Queen or American Gods counts as jaw dropping, but both had a plot twist. (Although in the case of Red Queen, the title might give it away.) but these are the two I thought of as I don‘t read thrillers where you get the OMG! kind of plot twists.

I think I enjoyed this way more than I initially thought I would. It got off to a bit of a rough/slow start but by the midway point I was hooked. I did see some of the plot twists coming but that didn't take away from my overall enjoyment. This book reminded me a lot of Red Rising at times which could be why I enjoyed it so much. I was a fun read and I need to get my hands on book two as soon as possible

Book32 | ⭐️2.5/5
I said from the beginning that I knew I wasn‘t going to love this book. If it wasn‘t an audiobook that I listened to while doing mindless tasks, I probably wouldn‘t have finished it at all. The sequel is waiting for me but I have no desire to see where this story leads right now. Maybe if I don‘t find another audiobook I‘ll try it out.

About 2 hours in & I‘m still not sure I‘m going to finish it but I‘ll keep going for now. Since I mostly listen to my audiobooks while driving, sometimes having a book I don‘t need to pay all that much attention to is nice 😅

My biggest issue with this book is the main character. She‘s a cliche trope of the overly independent girl that‘s not stereotypically feminine. I get those characters are supposed to be “empowering” but I find it limiting.

Started RED QUEEN as my new commute audiobook. So far it feels like another stereotypical YA novel of your “average” girl finding out she‘s actually special and ends up in a weird love… pyramid. This might be. DNF for me but I‘ll give it another hour before deciding.

What YA trope are you entirely over seeing?

I haven't enjoyed a book this much since I read the darkest mind books... I couldn't put it down! I love these characters so much. I give it 5/5🍪

Usually it‘s difficult for me to pick up a new book with a plot I‘ve yet to dive into, but this book, with the characters and their relationships with one another, really took me for a spin. I‘ve come to find that the books with the biggest plot twists are the ones that I can‘t seem to put down!

Finished this today and it wasn‘t my favorite. I picked it up as a similar book to the the Three Dark Crowns series, but it didn‘t quite fit the bill. This one felt predictable in some ways and forced in others. I kept looking at the page numbers to see how far along I was and when I‘d be done. I don‘t plan to continue the series. 3⭐️

This world is separated by the color of blood red has no power and live in harsh controlled conditions, silvers have God like abilitys and live in luxury. Mare barrow a red.
gets into in a dangerous situation , she has power of her own although she had an audience will she survive?
If you like books such the six of crows this book is for you.The author uses a first person perspective It's full of engaging characters, surprises, and romance.

So far I‘m digging this book!

Red Queen Fans!! Finally!!⚡🔥 👑

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The writing style wasn‘t my favorite but once the plot picked up after a few chapters I was hooked.
I found the concept of the Red/Silver divide interesting and appreciated the plot twist at the end. Definitely kept me on my toes the last few chapters.
Looking forward to the rest of the series.

Book #1
I didn‘t think I was the type to read romance, or those cliché princess books, but this book opened a door for me. It leaves you on the edge of your seat and always reading “just one more” chapter.

Mother/daughter Monday night read 😁
We have both been staring at computer screens all day.

Red Queen just wasn‘t for me. At first it seemed like an interesting book but I was just too slow and it wasn‘t keeping me hooked. There were interesting hooking events that took place in the book but they just weren‘t what I was into and I couldn‘t keep reading.

Red queen was a book I wasn‘t very interested in. So I had to drop it and find a better book.

She had me hooked from page 1. I knew something was wrong from the first time I met a character but she didn‘t given me closure, she made me doubt it again and again. I look forward to book 2.

This book (and series) was an emotional rollercoaster that I want to ride till the end. Loved it, however, it is intended for a younger crowd.

I've discovered a new author. The first in a series, it's a YA dystopian revolutionary story with compelling characters and imagination throughout. In a world where Silvers rule, crushing the spirits of the Reds, Mare Barrow, a Red accidentally finds she is more than just a Red. Held captive by Silvers she is a pawn used to keep her kind in check, but her alliances & the discovery of who she really is, leads her to spark a revolution.

I've just started reading this book, and I am totally in love! The storyline is soo well though out and the characters are very interesting. Queen Elara might be my favorite character yet. I am soo excited to keep reading and potentially read the while series!

I loved the intrigue in this book. The unexpected nature of crossing, or not crossing, the societal divide.

Day 7
A well crafted YA high Fantasy Dystopian series. Romance, betrayal & superpowers galore with some overused plot lines. Really loved the 1st but the series ended up falling short for me around the 3rd. Received the dust jacket damaged so I ended up putting a rose & some baby‘s breath inside.

AWESOME!! I absolutely loved it. It's been a while since I was online on litsy and I'm more than glad that my first post back is regarding an awesome book. 😁
I would recommend this book to anyone.

A bit disappointed. Could see the "big twist" from miles away. Your standard dystopian YA fare

The concept of the powerful elite and ordinary people was such a cool idea. I was far more interested in the power dynamic than the confusing love triangle that didn‘t make ANY sense. I‘m still gonna read the sequel though 🤭

I finished the first book in the Red Queen series! 🎉

I enjoyed this book much more than I thought I was going to. It was a little bit cliche, but the ending had a twist I never saw coming. I read through those last fifty pages on the edge of my seat!

I felt it was a good choice to read this as an audio book. It worked really well in that form! I highly recommend this if you are in need of light YA dystopian fantasy. One bad side in this book was that it reminded me a lot of Hunger games. For example character dynamics and the world were really close to that of Hunger games stories. Still I'm going to give it a "Pick" because I'm feeling this book right now. ?

Challenge 4 of 50: A book with an upsidedown image on the cover

I picked red queen specifically to fulfill this challenge, and I enjoyed it enough that I am listening to the rest of the series. The world Aveyard has built is complex and interesting.

New audiobook in progress. I feel this already. 😍

This was just ok for me. Your typical YA dystopian novel. Wasn‘t a fan of Mare (she was a bit on the whiny side). But it was a quick, easy read and interesting enough to make me maybe pick up the next book in the series. Maybe.

Starting my reread of this series in hopes of actually reading War Storm and Broken Throne. I always forget how much I love this series, and especially book one. I know there are lots of mixed feeing about the books as a whole, but I find them so fun!
