Welcome to Litsy!

#weeklyforecast

I‘ve got five days off this week! Hoping to get some reading done.

I really want to either finish or put aside my two current reads this week. I also need to get started on “The Queen of Nothing,” since it‘s due back in a week!

I‘m working six days this week (including a Sunday shift I had today) and I‘m somehow in the middle of reading three books! So I‘m going to keep my goals simple this week:

Continue to make progress in my current reads.

Finish at least one current read.

Start on “The Queen of Nothing.”

3⭐'s. It was okay. It started off really strong but kind of lost some steam along the way.

📖 Worlds of Ink and Shadow (Lena Coakley)

It was a really cool concept about the author of my favorite book, but for some reason I found this book extremely hard to get through

My reading goal this year started with a 16 book reading list, albeit I‘ve clearly gotten a bit distracted and added new finds to that list causing my goal to morph. I‘m happy to say that I started book 31 of 52 for the year earlier today. It‘s kind of interesting reading a story about the author of my favorite book #book31 #yearofbooks #2018 #bookworm #feedyoursoul #charlottebronte

This #historicalfantasyfiction is inspired by the true characters of the #Brontë siblings, Charlotte, Branwell, Emily & Anne. They acquired the abilities to physically crossover to other invented worlds. Truth be told I was skeptical about this book due to the below average ratings, but boy was I glad to be wrong! This book is rich with imaginations and the intriguing suspenseful plot will get readers hook right from the beginning! A must read! ❤

She often felt that being an author was like being a sheepdog, always snapping at her characters' heels to keep them on track.

I loved the concept of this book, and thought it was excellently thought out and wonderfully crafted. The Brontë siblings actually travelling to the imaginary worlds they created? Love it! I felt that at times the imaginary worlds came across a little immature and not as flushed out as I would have preferred. That said, still a delightful cute read.

It was okay... I love Wuthering Heights with all my heart so I loved Emily as a character. Mostly I was bored. I love all the Bronte sisters writings but I didn't get connected to their writing inside this book. The concept was fun, getting to travel to the stories you create, but it just didn't capture me. The ending was just eh... If you like historical fiction with magic you'll probably like this.

#BookishMail from @craftshley and I am in LOVE with these dinosaur #BookSleeves 😍And that orchid one really does match this book so perfectly! It fits really well inside, and inside the dinosaur ones are hardbacks of Allegiant and The Raven King. She has code INSTASLEEVES for 10% off and she just added some new bookish prints ❤️

I read this book a while ago, the same month I received it in my Owlcrate. I found it fascinating and a very interesting look into the fictional fantastical lives of the Brontes.

Lovely quirky story.

#fiestyfeb #day2 #shadows. This is the only book in my physical collection with shadow in the title. I finished it quite recently. It was pretty good. @RealLifeReading

#FeistyFeb day 2: Shadow. One of my #FebTBR picks is this tale of the Bronte Family.

I usually have tea when I read. If I eat anything, it is usually just basic cookies. #bookandmyfavesnack #readjanuary @RealLifeReading /I just finished this one. It was pretty good.

59 books this year. It's a personal record for me. so many great books and I could only narrow it down to 15 of my most favorite. A few like Jackaby and A Darker Shade of Magic I love the whole series. Fredrick Backman Needs to have a warning on his books that they will make you feel everything and Cry so hard. Super nice man his was my first ever author signing. So many amazing books in 2016. I can't wait for the books of 2017!!

I got this today at my favorite bookstore, Tubby & Coo's. I had been wanting to read it. #smallbusinesssaturday

Having trouble getting into this... I wonder if part of it is I haven't read anything from the Bronte siblings?

Just heard Lena Coakley read at the Eden Mills Writers' Festival. So excited to read her new book!

Day 11 of 31: Book Ombré. This is my attempt with purple book ombré: light to dark and dark to light. Eh?
?
Plus, the @ravens played and won their first preseason game and they wear purple, so yay! ?

It starts slow, which had me worried. It won me over in the end. This is another #Owlcrate read.

This is a Gimble Traveler. It's one of my favorite things. It holds your book open without getting in the way of the text, and it make it easy to still turn the page. It adjusts in size to fit a lot of different books. I love it.

Lunch break = Book break.

Starting this today. I'm three books away from being caught up on Owlcrate books!

Definitely one of my favorites of 2016!

I love this page! Coakley describes how the Bronte family's father would have the kids place on masks in order to lower anxiety in approaching him to talk openly. They were so intimidated by their father they needed alter egos

Coakley received a grant to research the Bronte family history - a history filled with tragedy, loss and wonder. Coakley weaves a story which answers the question, "why did the Bronte children die prematurely?" Her explanation is both fantastic and menacing. This is fantasy story set against history

I really like the idea of this book! And they create their own worlds?! Let's see how it is.

I was really surprised by this book. I got it from owl crate and I was not sure how I would feel about it, but I totally fell in love with it! I loved the ending and the historical time it took part in! I recommend this book for literally anyone 🤘

I am new to Litsy so I want to post a few old pictures of previous boxes. I will post what I can find and all new ones. This is the January Magic themed box from @owlcrate !!!

Isn't it remarkable how one can become attached to fictional people?

This book was pretty good. I absolutely love Charlotte Brontë so when I saw this was about her and her siblings I had to read it. I loved hearing their stories. It's important to read the authors afterword because it explains the characters and where she got her inspiration.

I am all about the Brontes and also reimagined histories. So hopefully this is great.
