Welcome to Litsy!

@AsYouWish #WickedWords
A good mix of books for Wicked Words this month! A graphic novel, a LGBTQIA+ SF YA anthology, a historical romance, a contemporary romance, and a prequel.

Pick of the crop: I think An Unexpected Party, though if you're not in Australia it might be hard to get your hands on. It's a homegrown Western Australian book.

Congrats everyone who finished all the words in March or finished any words because you got books off your TBRs! Remember this runs all year, so whenever you find them it counts!

If you did not see my previous post, March‘s Book/Movie was The Breakfast Club.

Now who is ready to figure out April‘s #WickedWords Book/Movie?
-Ship
-Iceberg
-Wreck
-Passenger
-Voyage

Feel free to guess if you like, I will reveal at the end of the month!

If you guessed that the #WickedWords Book/Movie this month was The Breakfast Club, you were correct!

I did not get a chance to read the book yet, but it is on my list for this year!

Also - HAPPY BREAKFAST CLUB DAY! (Detention was held on March 24, 1984)

On to March!

Congrats everyone who finished all the words in February or finished any words because you got books off your TBRs! Remember this runs all year, so whenever you find them it counts!

If you did not see my previous post, February‘s Book/Movie was The Notebook.

Now who is ready to figure out March‘s #WickedWords Book/Movie?
-Brain
-Athlete
-Basket case
-Princess
-Criminal

Feel free to guess if you like, I will reveal at the end of the month!

If you guessed that the #WickedWords Book/Movie this month was The Notebook, you were correct!

I read it (a reread for me) and it was just as amazing as the first time! This book always gives me hope and breaks my heart at the same time! I love Allie and Noah‘s story so much! I also adore the movie (hello Ryan Gosling!!) and it will forever hold a special place in my heart!

I read it (my first time) and I have to say it was not as scary as I thought it would be. Then again I have watched the movie many times, so I knew main plot points of the book (and thanks to Joey on Friends for “accidentally” spoiling the ending). Over all I enjoyed it and it was a good snowy day book to read.

It's been a pretty good month of reading so far! Knocked out #WickedWords @AsYouWish

Not sure if I enjoyed Kaiju Preservation Society or Paladin's Grace more, but they were both a fun ride from authors who I always vibe with.

Hello 2024! Congrats everyone who finished all the words in 2023 or finished any words because that mean you got books off your TBRs!

By popular vote, every month is going to have a theme, the overall theme of the year is books that are also movies.
The Catch: I am not going to reveal the book/movie until the end of the month, so you are welcome to guess when logging books!

Now for those #WickedWords
-Hotel
-Writer
-Winter
-Colorado
-Caretaker
