Oh, Addie LaRue,
The odds were stacked against you,
but you left your mark ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Of how much she would lose in the centuries she has spent alive of how much there was to be lost.

Until one day she met the love that would change her life.

Someone who could actually remember her and give her a reason to fight.

A reason to live and a reason to enjoy her life.

So this poem is for you Addie LaRue.

A girl who has lived a million lives.

So guys I did a thing and wrote a poem because the book was so great. Enjoy 😊

A Poem For Addie LaRue

This poem is for a girl who lives in a world where no one remembers her existence.

She can leave no physical marks behind without facing any resistance.

She has lived in the world where with just one look a person cannot remember her face or her name.

A world where she has seen much darkness and pain.

When she made her deal with the Dark she did not understand the cost.

Nothing ever stays the same. As the great Lauryn Hill has said “Everything is everything. What is meant to be, will be. After winter must come spring. Change comes eventually.”

My dad and I have a mini book club that we started a couple years ago and we‘ve struggled with our picks so far, but he requested something fun this time around so I‘m hoping that Addie LaRue will be a win for both of us! Finally a good reason to get this off my TBR.

Loved it! Another hit from V.E. Schwab. I would pick this one up again. Addie is so well written that she feels like she could be real. Brilliant book!

Rereading one of my favorite books! Who else is moving from bookstagram to Litsy? I need to find my people!

2024 was a good year for reading and I read some fantastic books. I read every Sarah J Maas book and loved them all. My favourite book of the year was The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue 💙

Life got in the way of getting to read this book for a few months when I initially started it. Highly recommend reading this beautifully written story. Without too much detail, Addie bargains away her soul. She soon learns what she got wasn't exactly what she wanted. This is my first book from this author, but will definitely read more.

Awesome premise - I was hooked very early on! Unfortunately the middle part was repetitive so that took away from the whole experience. I did like the ending.

This one has been popular the last couple of years but I didn‘t enjoy it too much. It felt like word vomit a lot of the time. I liked the premise, the characters, and the ending. But the meat of the story was chaotic. Perhaps better editing was needed?

I‘m going in a different direction today with favorite “new to me” authors!

I loved several books by these authors in October and I‘m happy to have found new #authors and new genres! 💛💫 🧙‍♀️ 🪄

Addie LaRue lives in a world where she is forgotten the second she leaves a person's sight. After making a desperate pact 300 years ago to be allowed to live, Addie is cursed to wander the world invisible to everyone around her until one man remembers her. A beautifully crafted story that spans centuries whilst being rooted in the present, which sweeps you along. Truly loved this book and will be recommending it to people for a long time.

I cannot put this book down! It is captivating with the seamless swing from past to present. Do I have to go to work tomorrow or can I bunk off to read this all night?

“What she needs are stories.
Stories are a way to preserve one's self. To be remembered. And to forget.
Stories come in so many forms: in charcoal, and in song, in paintings, poems, films. And books.
Books, she has found, are a way to live a thousand lives—or to find strength in a very long one.”

Finishing this one tonight and I‘m really going to miss Addie Larue 🥹💫

Starting off our girls trip to Door County! One friend surprised the group with a book we could all read together this weekend. Can‘t wait to delve into the mystery of Addie LaRue. #girlstrip #bookclub

The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by V. E. Schwab

This is hands down one of the best books I have ever read. It's a bit different but oh so good. A magical experience for the mind. A love story for the soul. I don't say soul lightly either. I story of hope. A story of “Not forgetting.“ A story about a girl. Then a boy. And the deals they made.

France, 1714. When Adeline LaRue has to marry someone she doesn‘t want to, she begs for a life of freedom. Her wish comes true, but at a price. Addie will live forever, and is doomed to be forgotten by everyone she meets.
She travels across continents and through centuries and learns to live an invisible life. Until someone remembers her. That changes everything.

It‘s a sweet read. A bit too much so to my taste.
