Welcome to Litsy!

Somewhere in Never Land . . .

“Wait, did we look over by the Troll Bridge?”
“. . . We did?”
“What about the Tonal Spring?”
“And the beaches around the Shimmering Sea?”
The asker of these questions was a slender young man of indeterminate age—though perhaps if an observer looked him dead in the face she would notice the last pockets of baby fat plumping his cheeks just above the cheekbones.

At midnight oh one, a golden glow appeared in her kitchen window.
Upon seeing it, Wendy‘s face also glowed.
“Tinker Bell!” she sighed, and opened the door.

Straight on Till Morning is a reimagining of the Disney movie Peter Pan. It is set four years after Peter Pan's initial visit to the Darling house and, in fleeing from the family dog Nana, not only left behind the children but also his shadow in the possession of the eldest Darling child, Wendy.

I‘ve finished this book a few days ago. I am wondering why I liked Peter Pan so much… this book was about self discovery for our young Wendy Darling, and yet there were so many times i wanted to stop reading because I felt not to have invested into the story. And, I guess that is how it is with these Twisted Tales. I hope ‘Almost There‘ is a lot better.

I‘m not sure how I feel about this book. I now read half of it. The premise was interesting, but it‘s barely keeping my attention. This is the second book in this series that I‘ve read, and I‘m willing to finish it.

Not quite “sitting on a chaise longue sunbathing and reading,” but sitting in the van with the windows down and shoes off reading during dance class is surely something? ☀️🌳📚🚗

Started the tagged book last night and saw this amazing rainbow this afternoon. Think it leads to Never Land? 🤔

“Tinker Bell!” she sighed, and opened the door.

I made these #Tinkerbell bookmarks as part of the favors for a baby shower I'm co-hosting. I love getting to have extra fun with our book club ladies!

This month, our bookclub is celebrating one of our members with a Peter Pan baby shower and this Twisted Tale. I thought I'd spend the morning with homemade banana muffins, chai, and some reading. April Fools to me, my four year old was only patient enough to let me bake the muffins, no reading allowed. Joke's on her though, I'll be putting her to bed early now. 😂

Truth 😉

A reimagining of Peter Pan where Wendy hitches a ride to Neverland with Hook so she can find Peter and save Neverland. My problem with this book was that Wendy was your typical YA heroine: low self-esteem, constantly doubting herself, trying to please everyone at her own expense, focused on the boy, etc. but turned up to the max.

Nope, this one just wasn‘t for me.
I listen to the audio book, and if it wasn‘t for that I would have dnf it a long time ago.

Every single character grated my nerves and I just wanted to shake them half the time and told them to grow-up. I guess it being Peter Pan and all, it‘s kind of ironic. But really, it was too much for me!

This was fun to read. I always enjoy reading the Twisted Tales series. It was interesting to see Wendy as the hero of the story. It was a cute little story overall. It reminded me of how important it is to make a difference in the world. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I love it so much @Gissy , thank you! I love the ornaments and the Spanish bookmark the best I think. I also am excited about the Christina Henry retellings! Right up my alley. And the tagged book. I love it all! And thank you @Chrissyreadit for being an amazing host yet again! #HappilyEverAfterSwap #HEAS

What if Wendy first traveled to Never Land with Captain Hook? ✨

New blog post up with my best reads of 2020! 😊📚📖

https://charityrau.wordpress.com/2021/01/15/my-top-reads-of-2020/

⭐⭐⭐.5

I love the Twisted Tales series but I just couldn‘t get into this one. I read about 150 pages and just couldn‘t see making myself read another 300 and some pages.

This book gave me BINGO BLACKOUT!!!! Thanks @TheAromaofBooks of books for putting this together. I read so many great books that would have probably sat on my bookshelves for who knows how long. This was my first month but it won‘t be my last!

My next and final read to my Peter Pan theme. I enjoyed Tiger Lily although was surprised by the ending. Happy reading and weekend everyone 📚❤️📖 @Jackal121 @CymbaX13

I love the Twisted Tales series, but I don‘t have this one...yet. I kinda want to take a trip on the Jolly Roger!

Thanks so much for this birthday book @FantasyChick 🥰 Quarantine birthdays are a bit strange, but your gift brightened my day! I‘m really looking forward to this one. #PoutinePenPals

I have loved all of the Twisted Tales books I‘ve read so far. And this is definitely one of my favorites. Definitely recommend and worth a re-read. Rating: 5 ⭐️

I am using the tagged book for the Daring prompt for @ravenlee 's #covid19challenge

Good. Interesting take on the original story took me a few chapters to get into as it's my first twisted tales and I was thinking about the original story. Even though this is classed as YA I would say this is aimed at an adult audience as there are jokes and some parts that are adult in nature. Recommend for any Disney fans.

Loved this one, new blog post up with my full review. https://charityrau.wordpress.com/2020/03/24/straight-on-till-morning-book-review...

I had a soft spot for the pirates, so it was not too surprising that I lost some of my interest when Wendy left them behind - but then, they came back! Hook might actually be my favorite character. I would love a book about him and his crew (as represented in this version of the story) - though Wendy was, obviously, a great heroine.

Book 2 for #24b4Monday . WOW. While I‘ve adored all the books in the Twisted Tales series, (aside from “Once Upon A Dream”), this one is above and beyond. I dare say it is pretty much a psychological, philosophical , & literary analysis of Peter Pan in the form a highly enjoyable adventure fantasy. It also was extremely meta (which I have a weakness for). I also deeply related to this version of Wendy.

This whole book is SO very Jungian. And Meta. As proven in this quote 😂😂😂

So excited to get this, I started reading it immediately even though I‘m in the middle of another book! 😆📚📖

Loving all the references to “The Odyssey” in this. First, mentions of “Rosey-fingered Dawn” and now Calypso and Circe ♥️

#24b4Monday stack! Should be able to get through them all, if not most, at the very least.

Released earlier than I thought it would be! Looking forward to reading this 😍

UK edition out on Thursday (21st) !!!

Look what is next in the twisted tales series!!!
