Maddy's life couldn't get much worse. Her parents split and now she's stuck in a small town and at a new school. Most of the time, she retreats into her manga art, but when she gets into the Fields of Fantasy online computer game, she knows she's found the one place she can be herself. In the game world, Maddy can be the beautiful and magical Allora and have a virtually perfect life. And she even finds a little romance. But can Maddy escape her real-life problems altogether, or will she have to find a way to make her real world just as amazing as her virtual one?

Mehso-so

This book was an Express train from point A to point B. There were no side stops or unexpected destinations. Some of it was scenic but not exciting. It was an easy read but there was no feeling that everything might not turn out exactly as planned and the main character gets picked on but otherwise doesn't have much in the way of flaws.

Maewyn However, more books can totally be made about girls gaming and reading manga.😁 5y

Literary games!!! I had no idea there existed!! I love both reading and gaming. Any recommendations on the best literary games? Anybody ever played ones of these and can vouch for them? Where my game readers at?! 🃏🎲📖❤️

Captivatedbybooks I play a game on my phone that has short stories with it called Hidden CIty but im interested in this! 5y
tessavi There are story telling games like Tales of the Arabian Nights & Once Upon a Time. Personally I love Hardback & Paperback, which are word games, kinda like scrabble. There are also library themed games like Ex Libris, but haven't played that one. 5y
Whimsical.Curiosity @Captivatedbybooks ooh I'll check that out! 5y

Whimsical.Curiosity @tessavi oh good to know, I'm not a big fan of Once Upon a Time. I'll check it Hardback & Paperback for sure. Library themed how? 5y
Soubhiville I have one called Bring Your Own Book, and it‘s pretty fun. You use a book of your choosing to answer the questions... 5y
tournevis @Soubhiville @tessavi I second Bring Your Own Book. As well as Hardback, Paperback and Once Upon a Time, though the replayability of the latter is finite. 5y
tournevis @Whimsical.Curiosity @tessavi In quite different ways, both games are card drafting and deck crafting games, wherein you use letters to make words and therefore points. Both games have categories associated with books and genres, which affect points. For example, in Hardback, you ca use ink and whiteout to help you make better words. 5y
tournevis For a barebones word game, I humbly suggest Logomachy, a late 19th trick taking game about making words. The game has been out or print for decades, but I put print and play files on Boardgamegeek. https://boardgamegeek.com/filepage/168937/logomachy-original-english-pnp-cards 5y
Whimsical.Curiosity @Soubhiville oh that sounds awesome! Adding to my wishlist. 5y
Whimsical.Curiosity @tournevis ok that is friggin cool! I love word games and puzzles that are unique. I'll definitely get Logomachy. My family loves card games. Boardgamegeek is my favorite! Thanks a ton! 5y

1. The occasional board game with my niece and nephew. I mostly play Xbox and Nintendo 3DS. I still have every game system I‘ve ever owned.
2. I‘m going to go with the Assassin‘s Creed Games for Xbox. And Pokemon for the Nintendo games.
3. Lately it has been Blockpuzzle. But I don‘t play much on my phone these days.
4. Not sure who my fellow gamers are. So if you are a gamer and you see this, consider yourself tagged.

Do you want to play a game?

Game is simple #NakedBookChallenge

Post a pic of a naked book. You may post 1 clue (no author or title). Do NOT tag the book. Tag a game book, and tag 3+ Littens to play along.

The rest of us guess the title by the cover and clue.

Clue: There are no vampires or wolves in this one.

@so1quilt @LibrarianRyan @Lizpixie @BookHoarder32

rubyslippersreads Based on the Big Bang Theory guys, I'm guessing 6y
Traci1 @rubyslippersreads although not really close, that is a good guess. I did put the guys in the picture for a reason (though, it may only make sense in my head). ☺ 6y
LibrarianRyan It's a little brown publication. Black cover No wearwolves. Or vampires. Gail Carrienger is out. Hummmmmmm 6y

Traci1 @LibrarianRyan all those things are correct. 😊 6y
Booksblanketsandahotbeverage 🤔 this game is hard 😂 6y
asiriusreader Welcome to Litsy! 6y
Traci1 @asiriusreader thank you 6y
readordierachel Hm. The Chemist? 6y
Traci1 @ReadOrDieRachel Yes! Well done. 😁 6y
Traci1 @ReadOrDieRachel guessed correctly. It was Stephanie Meyer's The Chemist. @rubyslippersreads @LibrarianRyan @BookHoarder32 6y
LibrarianRyan That makes sense. And I've actually read that one. 6y
LibrarianRyan And I just got the Big Bang theory reference. Duhhhh 6y
Traci1 @LibrarianRyan I didn't have any chemistry type props, but then I saw them and thought "well, I have scientists!" That was fun. Thanks for starting the game. ☺ 6y

Finished the first in a large stack of library books! This one was so freaking cute! If I had have been about a decade younger when I met Noah (over a shared, long distance love of World of Warcraft) this story would have absolutely been relatable. Too bad Noah didn't end up being so close to home! A must read for gamers!

(Also, shout out to the Sault Ste Marie library, who never fails to put a barcode over someone's face lol)

Another book down! It's weird coming out of a reading slump, it seems much easier to read after you've had one! If you haven't read this book, you definitely need to give it a chance, it's one of my favorites!

Have y'all seen this?! It's like literary cards against humanity. I am not affiliated with this program, other than backing it to get a set of cards. Details at https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/electriclit/papercuts-a-party-game-for-the-...

Kirstin That sounds so fun! 😂😂 7y
