Welcome to Litsy!

I love all the twists and turns these books take!!! #wildbook #30junebooks @howjessreads

This was so good!!

I‘m sad this is the last time I‘m going back to Caraval, but it was such a good ending!!!

#joycesummerreads2019

I got really lucky when scrolling through the available audiobooks!! I've obviously started Finale, so I'm well under way. I'm listening at 2.5x speed, so I should be able to get through these without a problem over the next 9 days.

Finally time to get back to Litsy and reading. School and work has calmed down enough for me to do this!

I found this final book in the trilogy rather disappointing. Too much “He loves me / He loves me not” & the Fates were a bit of a letdown. Overall, I‘m glad it only ran to three book as I think more would have made it outstay it‘s welcome. 3⭐️

#60 time to finish up this world. I‘m excited to read it but I don‘t want to finish it 🙇🏻‍♀️ #thestruggleisreal

Sad this series is over for me.

I loved it, all the twists and turns made it a great adventure. This world was so well done I love the magic and the love and the even the pain. 5⭐ Julian, Legend and Jacks are great characters I love the mystery behind them and all the love and trouble they cause.

🌟🌟🌟It‘s time. I wish I was able to start reading sooner this evening. I may be up all night relishing in the magic 🌟🌟🌟

I've read mixed reviews for this book but I really enjoyed the last installment in the #Caraval series. I do agree that it sometimes felt a bit rushed and too neat but as far as conclusions go, I'm pretty happy with this one. It was interesting to see these characters outside of the game and there wasn't a dull moment. I loved learning more about the Fates. Also, I am now more in love with Julian than ever before. ❤️

Bookmail!

Started this during our school readathon and have to say it's the best yet and helps tie together all those parts of the other books.

With the new puppy, I didn‘t have the time to read that I hoped to this past month, but including my Harry Potter reread, I still managed to get 9 books read. Not too shabby. 💜📚

Disappointed. I was really loving this series until the last book. Sure, there were a lot of YA tropes, but it was still magical and fun. This final book of the series seemed rushed, like the basic plot was there but the details weren‘t ironed out, with unnecessary things thrown in and loose ends left hanging. It honestly felt a little half-assed. I still enjoyed the magic elements of it, and that‘s why I‘m giving it 3 stars instead of two.

Arya has a lot of energy this morning, so I haven‘t been able to read at all, and I‘m really trying to finish the tagged book. But she cute, and she‘s enjoying the taste of tea left if my 9 3/4 mug. ❤️

“There were also a few spines with titles that she would have liked to read, had she not felt pressed for time.”

Literally me in any bookstore or library. 📚📚📚 So many books, so little time.

Arya likes my reading bench. Now if I could just get her to settle down long enough for me to actually read.

I was mostly able to look past the faults of the first two novels (overly flowery language, romance quibbles) because I loved certain things about each of them. But it seemed like no matter what I did, I wasn‘t able to look past those things for this one. It was as if all the bad qualities from the first two were put together into one for a grand, well... finale. Perhaps without the element of Caraval, it lost the necessary magic. 👇🏻👇🏻

32% in, very captivating so far...

I haven‘t been able to read as much as I would like to, but I feel like I‘m finally getting somewhere all the same. 🗝

This is between a Pick and a So-So for me. I loved this story and all of the book, until the ending. I‘m a person who likes everything to be wrapped up at the end of a novel or series and with this one I still have some questions. It‘s an incredible story and the endings you do get are good, I just wish there was a little more to it.
3.75/5 🌟

Finally had time to really sit and read this tonight, about half way through now and I‘m really enjoying it so far! Love my little reading buddy to death as well 😻

😁

With starting my new internship this week I haven‘t had much time to read but it‘s a very exciting time and I‘m loving what I‘m doing! Hopefully with this long weekend I‘ll find some time to read.

I‘ve read woefully little of this book so far. I‘m over the bronchitis now, so I‘m less tired than I was, but it seems Ike I just don‘t do well with interrupted sleep. Getting up in the middle of the night to take out the puppy, and then not really being able to fall back to sleep has really gotten to me. With my luck, I‘ll probably adjust right when Arya starts sleeping through the night. 😴😂

I‘m so sad this is over. I am so going to miss all these characters. I was very happy with the way the story concluded. I will always have 😍 for Legend. 🌟🌟🌟🌟

I am so excited for this!!! ❤️❤️❤️

What an amazing ending to an amazing series!! These books just got better and better and I‘m FULL OF EMOTIONS 😭🖤😭🖤😭

I have many feelings about this book, many many. I think the best compliment I can give to the author is that I want to go back and reread Caraval to remember everything again. Stephanie Garber has a way of creating worlds that couldn‘t possibly exist but that we can imagine must because she writes them so real. I eagerly away her next imaginings.

It's finally here! I'm so excited to start the last book in the series.

Spending my cold, wet morning in the Service dept. Got about an hour to wait so no better time to get started on this.
I've had mixed feelings about this trilogy so far and I'm curious to know how it ends!

I fell in love with the first book of the series, Caraval, because I love fantasy when well done. Caraval was well written with scads of interesting characters, shops, events, etc. I wanted to go to Caraval I liked it so much. Finale is such a departure from the original idea that I would call it a romance with some fantasy thrown in. I didn't care which man either sister ended up with since I was too busy mourning Caraval.

My latest #bookhaul includes the most stunning book of the Caraval trilogy ❤️

Stopped at my library to pick up one hold ‘Kid Gloves‘. And while perusing the shelves I picked up a couple more. I still wonder how there is not a huge hold list for new material. I guess I should be super happy since I‘m reaping all the benefits!

My Waterstones Finale arrived yesterday. Love these hidden covers!

The hubs just brought me an afternoon pick me up, and the dogs are settling down a bit (possibly for a little nap🤞) So I‘m going to try to get some more reading done. As predicted, I fell asleep pretty quickly last night so I didn‘t get far at all.

#DogsOfLitsy

Yes, finally I will find out what happens to Tella and Scarlet! #finale #books

I have been too tired to read lately. Seriously. It‘s a massive bummer. BUT I really miss reading physical books, and I‘ve been excited to read this one, so I‘m going to try to read for at least a few minutes tonight. I may pass out, but I‘m gonna give it my best shot! 💪

The third book is finally out! The trilogy is complete! I'm kind of obsessed with these covers! 😍💕📚

It‘s so hard to say goodbye to the world of “Caraval” but it could not have been a more perfect “Finale” to such a spectacular trilogy. This may have been my favorite book out of the entire trilogy. It is so lush, entrancing, & immersive, that I LITERALLY had a dream of being in the world last night.

YAAY! A magical library! Who else would like to check out a few of these titles listed here?

I am super excited for these 2 books!!! 🤓

On the board! I just finished Damia‘s Children last night for theme of motherhood. :) #bookishbingo

So excited for this book! AND this quote was exactly the inspiration I needed today.

For all the books I have read in my life, there are only a handful where I want to crawl through the pages and join that world. Caraval is one of them. Between Stephanie‘s beautiful prose which paints the scene to the magic, romance and mystery within... major book hangover. Like their covers, this series is simply stunning. #worldofcaraval #stephaniegarber
