Welcome to Litsy!

WE FINALLY HAVE A RELEASE DATE! AND IT'S NIT THAT FAR AWAY! 💕📚💕📚💕📚💕

1. Watching. My body won‘t let me play many.
2. While it not be the cup of tea of those in sports, I loved Heartstopper.

Can‘t believe all 4 Heartstopper books are still out on display… I‘m not back at work until Thursday (💃🏻) but I‘m hoping to see some significant movement in this display.

Finally read and caught up on this Webtoon original!! I find myself geeking out over every interaction. And the Netflix series holds it up well. 💕

My favourite moment in Heartstopper Vol. 1 🍁🍂. Nick's bisexual storyline is beautiful and oh-so important 🩷💜💙. I love this series with my whole heart!

My heart has melted! Ooh, my goodness. This is the most adorable m/m romance I've ever had the pleasure of reading. My favourite part was that Charlie's and Nick's relationship is just so realistic and supportive and soft (no over the top drama). Just two boys who fell in love and make each other feel safe and happy. And that mini-comic! I died when I saw the puppy! The art was beautiful, the story oh-so cute, and the characters... ADORABLE! 🍂🍃

Juggling two beautiful LGBTQIA+ romance stories at the minute! Heartstopper vol. 1 and Red, White & Royal Blue! I'm loving both of them and am equally looking forward to the new tv adaptations! 💙

Very rare sighting of all 4 volumes of Heartstopper on the shelf today. I‘m assuming they are on the reserve list that we were unable to run because of a long overdue system upgrade that had us offline all day.

Tomorrow is going to be a hot mess.

So glad the pictures are back so I can share this silly article that came across my "news" feed.
"How to read the Heartstopper books in order"

I mean....they are numbered for you? Start with one, then 2, 3, 4?

???

I love these books and the show but this is a bit much even for click bait.

This one is the cutest of cute graphic novels. Just lovely. Ready for Volume 2 🤗❤️🥰

Heartwarming and cozy. I absolutely adore this graphic novel series and super excited to binge watch season 2 of the tv series. I am in awe of how closely the tv show matches it‘s source material. Love it! It‘s the perfect way for me to recap season 1 😂

The beginning of a beautiful coming-of-age love story. Starting this little delight tonight. So excited! 🍁🍂🍃

With season 2 of Heartstopper right around the corner, I've boosted the graphic novels up my to-read list and will be diving in imminently! I'm so excited ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🖤.

Reread for in-person LGBTQ+ book club tonight. This time through I was struck by the creative use of panel shapes which mirror the emotions the characters are feeling. I also found Charlie‘s internal struggles to be more poignant. Finally, I enjoyed seeing remnants of web-comic format in the print copy, like reintroducing side characters. For instance Tao is noted as (Friend). I‘m excited to meet a new book club tonight and discuss.

This is today‘s book cover that I guessed on Bookdle.

Finally got this short & sweet book about crushes & love read. I was prompted by my #AuldLangSpine list from @Laughterhp (yes I‘m still working on the 12 books I selected to read-see the 💛Xs).

I don‘t read a lot of graphic novels but I loved the artwork & sentiments behind this one & it was a quick cross off for my last Kindle Spring Challenge “bookmark. I already downloaded the second book via Libby & will add it to my #SeriesLove2023 list.

I started reading this last week... Ended up binging the whole thing on Webtoons. I loved it!

4/5

A cute, quick read about high school and crushes.

Extremely short and oh so fluffy. Very interesting take on an out gay falling for the “token straight guy”. Especially when said guy starts questioning. The “I don‘t think he‘s straight” lines were amusing. Loads of talks on bullying, anxiety, identity, and overall peer pressure due to it all. Great exploration of identity in a safe space. Very adorable art style; simple yet emotionally powerful. #lgbtqa Biggest complaint is it‘s just too short

Luckily, I work a late shift today - which meant I had time this morning to run to Barnes and Noble to pick up the most exciting book releases of the summer! 🥰📚💕 I couldn't resist fawning over this absolutely adorable Heartstopper display!

Picked these up at the library today. I‘m thinking of rereading Heartstopper for the graphic novel and adapted into a tv series fields. Can anyone recommend a good book for set in South America or a South American author? Or any of the other categories?

This was unnecessarily adorable. I think I have a cavity now. Now we wait for the next book to be free at the library

“Mate, I don‘t think being gay makes you bad at sports”

In a weird reading mood in that I want to read but just can‘t sit still enough to read more than a chapter😅 so I figured perfect time to read volume four!

#WithHeart #TemptingTitles I fell in love with this series right along with the rest of the world last year! @Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

I had a very nice Easter bunny 🐰 this morning! My family and I still hide presents 🎁 for each other, no matter how old we all are 😅. It‘s always a lot of fun.

#Easter #newbooks #gifts #heartstopper

Oh, OK then. It is very, very sweet and charming. Despite being an old grump, I will be reading volume 2 (if I can catch it before it flies out of the door at work at any point).

It‘s the only book I‘ve had someone physically jumping up and down with excitement when it‘s been on the shelf for them.

This is such a cute, fluffy series. Flew through volumes 1-4 this month and now have to wait until NOVEMBER for Vol. 5 🫠
Two young students, Nick and Charlie, become fast friends in class and it turns into something much deeper. This series has all the typical things teens deal with. Identity, sexuality, mental health, bullying, friendship, and independence. I would recommend this series to anyone that enjoys queer YA coming-of-age tales.
4.5🌟s

I did not know what to expect. I have never read a graphic novel. I love it! What an amazing way to tell a story. I love the whole thing. I am officially a 52 year old reader of graphic novels! If you are like me and think you are too old to read graphic novels. Please give them a chance. . I am looking forward to reading the second book.

So my husband took days off to join me during my spring break - but it's miserably cold and windy, so we're staying in and reading instead. Apparently the thing to do is binge the Heartstopper series!

I ordered this special hardcover edition of the Heartstopper Vol. 1 graphic novel from the UK. The plus side = Shipping was free. The down side = Basic shipping beat up the beautiful shiny cover a bit. Still the same great story of Charlie and Nick, which is basically a hug in a book 🧡

Oh! I almost forgot: today was my #Litsyversary, 7 years along with a handful of other long-haulers. It‘s been fun to be part of Litsy in so many different capacities over the years!

#ihavequestions

This is always such a tough question for me cause I would much rather go into a story then have the characters come into my world lol

But I think hanging out with the characters from Heartstopper would be cute and fun! I'd order a bunch of food and we could watch movies and play games. Oh and I'd take them to my favorite local cafe and we'd all get fun drinks and pastries. 🥐🧋

Book 9 of 2023! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Adorable, but ended on a cliffhanger! Now I need the next volume from the library!

February #BookSpin pick read!
@TheAromaofBooks

I don't usually read graphic novels, but I've seen a lot of good reviews of this one, so I thought I'd check it out. Now I need to read the next one in the series, because I feel like this one stopped suddenly!

A very sweet graphic novel about 2 high school boys falling in love. My only complaint is that volume 1 was too short. Now I have to go to the library to get the next volume.

I was curious to try this with all the hype surrounding it.
It‘s confirmed that graphic novels aren‘t really my thing, but I understand why people love it!

Loved it.

If someone asked me to describe these books , I would say that are like potato chips. You can‘t stop at just one! I munched through this delicious little snack of a series today. It‘s adorable, but doesn‘t shy away from hard topics.

All the feels. This series is so cute and heartwarming and not afraid to be vulnerable.

❤️💜💛💙💚 heartstopper. This isn't from the book, it's from an online mini-comic

Finally reading Heartstopper, and I was worried it might be a bit overhyped. But it's just so stinkin adorable I'm in a constant state of "Aw... So cute!" ? Which is not my normal state of being, I have to say. ?

I adored the show, and finally got around to reading the first volume of the series. It‘s just wonderful, can‘t wait to read the rest (and for season 2 of the show!).

Beautifully drawn graphic novel with a swift moving story. Had a bit of a cliffhanger, I am eagerly awaiting for the next one to be available at the library.

I believe I‘m a bit late to the party on this one but, dang, it was just adorable. Like, every few pages it made me go “Eeeeeee!” inside. I already went and bought volume 2, and am looking forward to it.

Important to note, though, that a CW is necessary for SA. It‘s not graphic but is potentially emotionally upsetting.

How to gobble down over a thousand pages in a weekend:

Step 1: Grab the first four Heartstopper volumes and read back to back.

Cute. Relevant. Informative. Alice doesn't shy away/gloss over tough topics.

Next

This made my little bi heart siiiiing and I didn't want it to end!!😍 It was so cute - I loved it🥰 And that's my 2nd book read of the year and another square ticked off for #BookSpinBingo😁
