Welcome to Litsy!

I was hooked from chapter one, though I struggled with the notes and pacing for the first half of the book. The main character Mia was so awesome, I loved her way of thinking and her cleverness, + I also liked Mr Kindly the non cat. The world building was extraordinary but I did get confused. Tric + the kinda romance was a nice break from the darkness of the book. The twists and plot was unexpected + so good, especially the ending + cliffhanger.

Love this part, the library in the book seems so cool but deadly!

Characters were brilliant, I especially loved Mia, Naev and Aelius. There were still many characters that you knew almost nothing about. But overall the cast was awesome, so was the atmosphere too. This was really mysterious, dark and unique world.

I have mixed feelings about the writing. Sometimes I loved it and it was fun & clever but sometimes I got tired it being so flowery.

This book had many good twists and I loved how they surprised me.

I HATE bailing on books, but I have way too many books begging to be read to keep trying to plow through something so boring. I absolutely hate that half of this story is told in footnotes. I find it incredibly disruptive to the flow. I had high hopes for this one, but alas, it‘s not for me.

Ready for a change of pace…I think this book will do just the trick!

Had to use my light when attending a webinar for my course 🤪… since I was up at 4am 🤦🏼‍♀️

I like to take these out and look at the this is one of the illustrations… beautiful 🤗

Sorry #LMPBC group! I have to bail on this book. The writing is so small, that I‘m dreading picking it up. It makes me feel like I need to go to the eye doctor for glasses.

Also, every time I get into the flow of the story, there is a footnote and I have to stop and get back into the flow. It‘s annoying. 🤣

This is also the 2nd time I‘ve tried to read this book and I‘m just not feeling it. I don‘t think this author is for me.

I‘m so excited to add these beautiful books to my shelf. 😍😍😍

More books from my personal library ☺️
#bookshelfie
I really love both series in this photograph: the Nevernight trilogy by Jay Kristoff and the Hunt trilogy by Andrew Fukuda
Habe you read them?

This was my May #LMPBC read. It took me a little while to get into - the book starts slow and Kristoff uses copious footnotes in Part 1 so a LOT of tiny print!! But after that the pace began to pick up and I found myself really invested in these characters and what was happening. The world-building was vivid and engaging and I found the concept of sand krakens to be delightfully terrifying. This is a little darker than my usual fare and I'm not ⬇

Okay, @Clwojick 's #BigJuneReadathon has challenged me already to assess where I am with various challenges/goals for the year. I'm doing pretty well at some of them - I'm steadily working my way through classics via #BookSpin and have checked quite a few 600pg+ books off as well. I've been pretty committed to #Roll100 and my #TBRDeckofCards but realized that where I am getting bogged down is SERIES! Somehow I'm already in the middle of five, and⬇

Found a spot on my desk to make a home for@my new light lovin it 🥰

I haven‘t found the home for this on my shelf‘s yet but 🤨… so excited to set it up

So I did a thing 👀📖🤗 love them

@Chrissyreadit - this one arrived safe and sound! And your Happy LMPBC Better Late Than Never Book Arrival Card made me snort with laughter! 😂 No worries, friend, life happens!! I have definitely been there with LMPBC books before!!

Looking forward to this one!! @Laughterhp @BookwormAHN

Finished - and sending TODAY - I think this was a different spin on some horror, bad ass teen, girls kick ass , fantasy tropes. It reminded me faintly of Red Rising. I liked the world and character building- I thought at times it had the potential for depth of a more “adult” complex book and felt like a YA/Adult hybrid. #lmpbc

1)The tagged book series, Malazan series, any Nora Robert or Johanna Lindsey books, the legend of Drizzt, Witcher Series, Six of Crows Series, Name of the Wind series, … I could keep going
2) my ability to shear and learn about different kinds of books
3) open to suggestions
If you have played do if your tagged enjoy
Thank you @Eggs I enjoyed this 🤗

… so I did this thing… 😖 and now I spent my book money for the next two months 🤦🏼‍♀️… but I‘ll have these beauties to comfort me 😍😍😍🥰🥰🥰

@BookwormAHN your #lmpbc book arrived- thank you so much for the crystals! FYI group friends- mine will be mailed by Friday- I am loving it but still reading.

I loved this book. Mia's family is murdered and she sets out to join a group of elite assassins so she can avenge them 🖤

I struggled with this at first (I really disliked the footnotes and the sarky teen tone), but I was into it by the end, and I will read the rest of the trilogy so I will rate it a pick. It was a slow burn though!

Loved this book. The world building was awesome and so were the characters. Very dark, violent, and brutal, but what would you expect from a book about a school of assassins?

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

I loved the world building and all the characters. Mia is a well fleshed out awesome female lead. We have Hogwarts style school only for assassins not wizards lol! It‘s dark, it‘s brutal, it‘s bloody, it‘s vengeful and it‘s lusty!!! Huzzah! The magic systems however are bit wonky to understand just yet, but hoping that will become more defined as I go.

I really enjoyed this world and the way the author builds it. The only complaint that I have is that everything the characters say is in sarcasm and it really makes then sound like immature children. Other than that I really enjoyed the story and plan to finish the trilogy.

Another long-standing one off my TBR. This was a lot of fun! The audio was a bit difficult to get into, as the author uses a lot of repetition. I had to rewind a few times just to make sure I wasn‘t hallucinating and the app wasn‘t glitching. I‘ll probably try to read the next one though.

Thanks to all of you raving about Empire of the Vampire for making this happen finally lol

#LittensDressedInBlood #Day15 #PetSematery I‘ve chosen this book for today‘s prompt because of Mr Kindly, the murderous shadow cat pet of our MC Mia Corvere. After barely surviving the murder of her family, Mia is taken in by an ex assassin & puts herself on the path of The Red Church(assassin school!)& vengeance with Mr Kindly giving advice along the way. It may have a young MC but this is no YA, lots of blood, curses & smut. I loved it❤️

This was ok the first time I read it and it's still just ok. The world is great, the story is very interesting but I really don't get the hype. I found myself bored for a large portion of it and the footnotes being forcefully inserted into the audiobook made me lose interest pretty quick. I understand why it was done (how else do you listen to footnotes?) but I lost a lot of the story

Adulting sucks sometimes but here's something NO ONE tells you...you can buy cake whenever you want! Had a shitty week and dreading the week coming? You can take your adult money, buy something ridiculously rich in chocolate, sit on the couch, watch trash TV, listen to an #audiobook and just blissfully ignore everything for a while. There's no one to tell you no! Buy the damn cake and enjoy a bit of happy 😊

#selfcaresunday #LetThemEatCake

This book was so good. At one point in time I yelled out loud. @JaneyWaneyB I loved this one.

A brutal, dark fantasy with echoes of Game of Thrones, The Witcher and Shadow & Bone. Mia is a lead heroine you root for and with her daemon side-kick Mister Kindly at her side you see her start to take shape as a deadly assassin. With a full range of characters of all shapes & sizes Kristoff is carving out a brilliant world so I look forward to the rest of the series. The only quibble, the needless, distracting footnotes, stick with the story.

Reading on the way to Sacramento.

Hope everyone is having a chilled weekend with lots of good books. I'm enjoying this dark fantasy, mix of GOT with Shadow & Bone.

Wishing all Littens a very Happy Weekend 😊

I am posting one book per day from my to-be-read collection. No description and providing no reason for wanting to read it, I just do. Some will be old, some will be new - don‘t judge me I have a lot of books.
Join the fun if you want. This is day 129

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
It took me a few chapters to get used to the writing style, but once I did, I went on quite a ride. I loved all the annotations at the bottom of the pages and I loved Mia and Mister Kindley. The entire story was dark and thrilling, and I'm reaching for the second book.

What an amazing read this was. Not only did I love the storyline, but the language was absolutely superb. Thank you to everyone who suggested this dark and gritty book about a girl and her shadows.

"If you let yourself fret on me, you'll miss the knife aimed at you" Mia Corvere Pg.147

I've never felt these words ring truer, as someone who has always done whatever possible to help my friends, I always miss the subtle attacks from behind, and the blatant ones from the front.

Never, ever let anyone walk all over you.

Starting the #nevernightchronicles tonight, I love how the books match my new #bedsheets 🌟🌙 ☀️ 🤩
I remember reading the Nevernight a couple of years ago, so when #Godsgrave and #Darkdawn fell into my #tbrpile 📚 I made the easy decision to #reread the first book 📖

I love all the foot notes, but this book really dragged on about the schooling of the assassins. I would have preferred for the author to cut out about 200 pages of that and focus on advancing the plot. Mia‘s family was brutally murdered and she swore revenge. She pledged herself to the church of the Dark Mother, but will she be able to survive the schooling? 3/5 stars, I will read the next one and hope it‘s more streamlined.

It‘s odd because I did like this but I didn‘t like it as much or for the reasons I thought I would. I like Kristoff‘s dark gritty writing. I got a little confused and will probably have to reread before I move onto book 2. Another #bookspinbingo marked off!
