Welcome to Litsy!

This has been one of the best books that I‘ve read in a long while. It‘s a modern retelling of the Celtic tale of Tam Lin. Beautifully bizarre, it weaves fairy folklore and the in between of death..I read this in 24 hours. It was that good! Book 1 in the trilogy.

This is a fairy tale, dark Gothic, urban fantasy..lol.. Ghosts, death, love, a powerful family and friends. Serafina is haunted by dreams of her sister, Lily-Rose who committed suicide, or did she? Jack's picture turns up in photographs from the early 1900's, so how can he still be alive? Love, power, mythology, friendship, suspense and survival.

Yesterday was the most Mondayest Monday of all the Mondays. I couldn‘t figure out what to read next so decided on an old favorite 🖤💚

Is there such a thing in between pick and so-so because this book is that grey in between space.

I loved the magic and darkness from the Fae characters but just couldn't believe the romance.

I just finished book 7 for the #mounttbrchallenge.

It's been just about a year since I finished the Night and Nothing series and I'm itching to read it again!

My latest TBR pile on the nightstand.

I was at Dollar Tree buying box tape. This just had to come home with me. So this is the 4th time this year I have "broken" my book ban.

A very pretty retelling of Tam Lin that captures the sinister nature of the fey in traditional folklore, rather than the watered down fairies of the Victorian and modern eras. I loved the sensuous description and use of poetry but did wish Harbour spent more time developing the relationship between Jack and Finn instead of introducing quite so many gorgeous but menacing characters. Harbour did her research, but we didn't need to see all of it.

I'm digging it. Not quite on par with Dean's Tam Lin or Fire and Hemlock, but maybe on the same level as The Perilous Gard or An Earthly Knight. It is also a book in which college students improbably quote Shakespeare & Keats, which should be its own genre.

Do you ever have so many books that you want to read, that you have trouble really settling in with one? I'm having readers ADD.

I have sooooo many books I need to read!!! And baseball season starts tomorrow so all of my evenings are about to be full of practices and fights about homework and eating vegetables. But I'm so excited to see my boys play!! #coverbuy #dollartree

Went in to the 💵🌳 after work and I just had to look at the 📚. I found these and got them. Can't beat $1 books! 😁

Mixed feelings. It's weird, dark, definitely unlike anything I've read. It starts out great, drawing you in, because it's mysterious, and interesting... but it gets a bit complicated and hard to follow — so many characters, so many detailed descriptions... the story kind of gets a little lost sometimes. Still, the author does paint a beautiful, dark, twisted fantasy world, and if they ever turn this into a graphic novel, I'll be all over it.

This almost sneaked past me! My first Litsy milestone! 😊
Thank you for being so wonderful, fun, welcoming and just generally awesome!! I love this community 💜💜💜💜

As much as I love a good quote providing #foodforthought, I love being introduced to the story's resident smartass just as much 😁

I grabbed this half off at the local English bookstore's post-holiday sale; it sounded intriguing, but I wasn't expecting much. Instead, it has sucked me in to the point that it's tied with Queen of Shadows for my attention 😉 Dark and a but weird but oddly compelling.

"You see... we've become a race of cynics. How can the dreadful, the venerable, the sacred and sublime, reveal themselves to our dulled minds? We are no longer capable of experiencing the possibilities of otherworldliness. Cynicism, not science, has killed our divinities."

Oh. My. Gosh. I must have all the Tam Lin retellings!
