Welcome to Litsy!

This was a fun twist on Cinderella including a plague storyline that made it timely. #LMPBC

👥 Iko [The Lunar Chronicles]
👥 Depending on the story I like both

My last book for April was my second book for April‘s Cinderella #FairyTaleReadingChallenge. I‘m glad I finally started this series! I love the mythology and I liked the first installment even more than I thought I would. Looking forward to May‘s challenges! @Charityann

I think this book has been on my TBR since it first was published in 2012 haha Worth the wait - creative and fun with likable characters. I did feel like the place cyborgs had in society wasn't very well explained, but on the whole I really enjoyed this one. And since it's been on my list ten years, I don't have to wait for the rest of the series! Bought all the others on Pango so they should be here next week!!

Someone gifted this one to me ⬇️

Cinder, a gifted mechanic, has no intentions in being swept up in interplanetary politics & a murderous Queen. But that‘s precisely what happens when Prince Kai asks her to repair an android.

I‘m really glad I had the opportunity to visit this again! The sci fi was fun, very space opera. Cinder was great & had a agency. The prince had his own story. I‘m curious to see what happens after that cliffhanger, so I‘ve got the sequel on hold! 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑

Doctor says the leg pain of the last few days is probably the beginnings of a small blood clot. 🙃🙃

So it‘s a take it easy day today!

Loved this book and so happy to have the anniversary edition!!!!! 😍😍😍

It snowed yesterday. 😤

I was getting all excited for spring, going to pull off the covers of the patio furniture. And snow. Boo.

So I‘m curling up with some cinnamon apple tea with a bit of honey and my #LMPBC book. #GroupU

I forgot to check my mail yesterday! Look what‘s here @Endowarrior21 ! So shiny! I am so excited to get started as soon as I finish off Vonnegut! 💕

My #LMPBC is on its way to @ozma.of.oz and my #SpeculativeSpringSwap @Avanders and my #LitsyLovesAnimals @DinoMom @ShelleyBooksie are on there way to their persons.

This will be on its way to you Friday @ozma.of.oz . I did not get to read it so I can't wait to see what you guys think of it. @ozma.of.oz @Bookwormjillk @Johanna414 #LMPBC @suvata

I read Cinder years ago & enjoyed it! Book one of The Lunar Chronicles. YA so beware of the typical tropes. I liked the original covers, I may collect them all.

Just finished this game n my bedtime read… (see what I mean) … on my kindle app cute story

Society takes places at the time with futuristic advanced technology and high risk of being infected by a deathly plague. Cinder, is just a mechanic that is trying to get through life by her awful step family. Likewise, the emperor decided to host a ball to find Prince Kai, an empress. However, she cannot go to the event even though she wants to. She was a cyborg and no prince would ever want to be in a presence near her.

So I was gonna go with The Witch Haven as my pick for #LMPBC this round but I can't find it lol so Cinder it is lol plus I have not read it since it came out 10 years ago so it is going to be fun going back into that world all over again. @Bookwormjillk @Johanna414 @ozma.of.oz

A deformed cyborg with a missing foot.
A Lunar with a stolen identity.
A mechanic with no one to run to, nowhere to go.
But they would be looking for a ghost.

Here is another series I love that I ended up getting second copies of because they changed the covers and the new ones are TOO BEAUTIFUL TO RESIST! 😍 I mean seriously, look at them! I resisted for as long as I could and then ended up just caving one day! 😂🤣 There are worse things in the world than having two sets of a book series you love, right? 🙈💕📚💕

Finished this one today. I really didn't want to read this one believe it or not, but finally decided to give it a chance. The story of Cinderella has a special place in my heart, so I was concerned. But honestly, this was so loosely based in my opinion that I quite enjoyed it. I think I'll continue on with the series and see what happens.

Joey! Thank you so much for these comfy socks and awesome cat clips!! And the book sounds amazing! I think I have another one in this series! Merry Christmas 🎄

A fun, if predictable start of the series. I‘m starting #Scarlet right after!

#cinder #marissameyer

An adventurous sci-fi fairytale retelling & an incredibly creative read with a lot of fun & intrigue built in. Absolutely its own story. There are parallels with the original tale, but so much of it is unique & new. The plot is admittedly a bit predictable, but still fun. The pacing is good & the detail in the writing evokes a pretty powerful atmosphere. The characters carry the story. I'm totally sucked in to this world & I'm ready for more.

I'm looking forward to revisiting this series.

If there had been one more page of plague stuff, this would be a so-so (I‘m not ready for that yet). I like modern retellings but I think I like future retellings better now. My one thing is that I wish that instead of Cinder gaining over Kai maybe it could have been vise-versa? In New Berlin, the blue fever sweeps across the Commonwealth, a place where cyborgs are looked down upon. Cinder, a cyborg herself, is a mechanic. When her stepsister ⬇️

I need the next one. Now!
This is such a good twist on the classic fairy tale. Cinder is awesome and I want to know what happens next so badly!
I love the sci-fi world building - especially the personalities of the androids!

LOVE LOVE LOVE

I absolutely loved this book!! Retelling of Cinderella. The whole series is great!1🙂

I absolutely loved this book! Retelling of Cinderella. The whole series is great....🙂

Picked up this little gym by accident. It was in my Libby holds multiple times and never read it. Now it‘s available - I am curious about the story. I head the series is worth reading. I am still up in the air about the whole thing but we will see.the little bit I have read seems to be interesting retelling of the classic story.

Loved this series. Great fairytale retelling.

I'm so glad I finally read this; I loved it!

Cinder is a wonderfully complex character and the world Meyer has created is creative and fun. Probably one of the most unique retellings I've ever read. I hope the rest of the series is just as good.

I read the first three books back when they were published but by the time book 4 had come out I just wasn‘t as into it at the time. I‘ve decided to fix that and am doing the books in audio while I start doing yard work to prepare my garden.
It‘s a fun book and I‘m enjoying it just fine, it‘s still a whirlwind adventure with interesting and fun characters and the narrator is easy to listen to.

The fancy new cover seduced me. I was really hard on this book the first time I read it. This time I enjoyed it much more, maybe because my expectations were appropriately calibrated. Think I'll just go ahead and reread the rest of these now.

I have to say though, if I was playing a game and had to drink every time it's mentioned that Cinder is a mechanic and has grease somewhere on her person, I would probably die 🙄😆

A great sci-fi Cinderella retelling. For the full review, please visit http://benjamin-m-weilert.com/index.php/2021/02/10/book-cinder-2012/

@bookgoil it's here!
I can't believe you chose this one! Even this week I was looking at this and thinking that I'd love to get my hands on this series!!! SO EXCITING!
Super grateful to #LitsyLove and being the winner of the November donator draw.

Day 6: Fairytale Love

One of my favorite series, which makes the collectible teacup that came in the December LitJoy crate so perfect!

One of the better Cinderella retellings out there FOR SURE. I loved the sci-fi take on a classic story, and Cinder and Kai are both fascinating POV characters. Better go find book 2! #yalit #scifi #fairytales

I‘m doing #tbrdeckofcards hosted by the lovely @Clwojick but with @TheAromaofBooks twist. Instead of pulling a set amount of cards a month, I‘m going to pull one at a time and I can‘t move onto the next card until I finish the previous one. I‘m trying to keep extra pressure off of my reading this year so I feel like doing that will work better for me. First pull is Retelling! These are what I could find so I shall read whichever grabs my attention

“ I'm sure I'll feel much more grateful when I find a guy who thinks complex wiring in a girl is a turn-on. ”

The screw through Cinder‘s ankle had rusted, the engraved cross marks worn to a mangled circle.

I remember when I first read this 5 years ago, the idea of a plague that had claimed hundreds of thousands of lives seemed astronomical. Re-reading it today, that number doesn't seem so big anymore.

Thanks 2020 😞

Not gonna lie, I read the description of this solely based on this cover 🙃 but the audiobook is cute and entertaining so far 👍🏽
