Welcome to Litsy!

No caption needed #heartstopper

So good. Gave it a 5 star.

Taking a break from novels to read the Heartstopper series. I binged all of season 2 last night; the show is so wonderful, and the books are just as cute.

Easy peasy feel good graphic novel about finding yourself and the people who love you and forgetting about the rest. Just flat out feel good stuff. I wish I had this book as an option years ago when kids just like Nick and Charlie sat in my classroom, quiet and confused about where they belonged. Glad this series is there for the sweet kids of today 🖤

And, of course, I teared up reading this part 🍃💕🍂. Nick coming out to his mom as bisexual was beautiful 🍂💕🍃.

My favourite moment in Vol. 2 🍃💕🍂. This made me sooooo happy 🍂💕🍃.

I'm officially full to the brim of the warm fuzzies 🍃💕🍂. Charlie's and Nick's love story just gets cuter. I absolutely adored Vol. 2 to the point of actually getting teary at the end. Oseman's characters are a bunch of AMAZING people (bar Harry - I hate that guy!), and I'm certain the world would be a brighter place if they actually existed! I loved getting to know Elle and Tao better and hanging out with Charlie's friends. Vol. 3 next 🍂💕🍃

🌈❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🏳️‍🌈

It‘s tiiiiiiiiiiiime

Read for #SeriesLive2023 & introduced through Vol. 1, on @Laughterhp ‘s list for #AuldLangSpine
This is such a sweet series. I‘m not a big reader of graphic novels usually but I find myself caught up in the friendship & developing romance between Nick & Charlie & rooting for them. I‘ll read on.

Another reread for in-person LGBTQ+ book club tonight. Things that stood out: again the panel layout/shape is creatively done. Tao is a much more sympathetic character than I remember. Great depiction of the subtlety of the conflicts Charlie has about not outing Nick. Again, I‘m looking forward to discussing and meeting people at a new-to-me book club.

Loving the new kindle for library books. Living for these two boys figuring themselves out together. They‘re so CUTE. I feel so much for Nick trying to figure out these new feelings he has for Charlie. Very nice no pushing discussions throughout are vital to show communication. Such a nice slow growing story for them both playing the love. The “why are straight people like this” was so well put. Beach scene has me laughing with such joy.

This series is just so stinking cute, I had a smile on my face the entire time I was reading this volume. Exactly what I needed to read right now, an adorable, heartwarming, and deeply caring story. I loved the whole thing.

Next

5/5 🌟 Loved it even more than the first one. MCs Charlie and Nick are ADORABLE.

“I Don‘t know… they probably all just think I‘m this… gay nerd…” “Well, you are kind of a gay nerd”

This series is so sweet! Charlie and Nick are both experiencing first love with all the extra complications of same sex relationships and the awfulness of high school. Still, so sweet!

So glad to get this continuation of Charlie and Nick's story. It is so great to see the evolution of a romance, taking it slow and getting to know each other.

I'M IN LOVE WITH THIS SERIES THAT'S ALL I HAVE TO SAY AT THIS CURRENT TIME

A gorgeously bookish day with @Emilymdxn 😍

@MatchlessMarie I want you to know that Heartstopper has taken over my entire soul. I have already bought the 2nd one (despite them being available for free online because I simply must own them all) and I've watched the Netflix series about 5 times over😂 #AuldLangSpine @monalyisha

My last book for #Booked2022 ! A coming out story.

This was very sweet. I meant to grab Volume 1, but luckily this one works for the prompt just as well. Nick and Charlie are just friends. Nick is cool with Charlie being gay until a spontaneous kiss comes between them. Will this be the end of the friendship? Or could it be the start of something new?

Me reading this book: ☺️😆🥰😭🥰😜😭😭😤🥰😭☺️
All the feels. So good! And yes I requested Volume 3 immediately.

Corresponds roughly with the second half of the show, for those keeping track. A sweet and romantic story of Nick accepting he is bi and slowly starting to come out.

I have truly enjoyed the two Heartstopper books I‘ve read. They‘re light and sweet, plus the pacing is fantastic.

I will confess, however, that I‘m enjoying the show more. It makes up for what the graphic novels seem to lack for me (which is why they haven‘t been five star reads). I appreciate the more detailed character development and, overall, the actions of the characters feel more realistic to me.

Who me? 🐍

Cracking up because I hadn‘t used this bookmark in a bit, but happened to grab it for this adorable series.

Cute continuation of Charlie and Nick.

This is becoming one of my favorite graphic novel series. In this volume, Charlie and Nick further explore their relationship. It's both heartfelt and entertaining.

I tore through Vol 2 in no time at all. This series is quickly becoming a favorite. I‘m so sad that Vol 3 and 4 both say they have a 12 week wait. I‘m hoping the library gods will smile on me and they‘ll show up sooner. #LGBTQBookBingoFavorite @Kenyazero

How can you not root for these kids?

I read this because kid #2 told me I was missing out. Such an amazing series of books that encompass really teenage problems and not sweep them under the carpet and pretend life is good when its not. Such a moving storyline and brilliant writing and illustrations. Probably my favourite graphic novels yet.

I honestly can't wait to read Volumes 3 & 4! My husband found them yesterday and got them for me. My 9 yr old is in love with them as well. Can't wait for some good mommy/daughter bonding.

This one was just as cute and wholesome as the first volume. I just loved seeing the development of Nick and Charlies relationship as well as their own character development.

There was one part in the book where there was a trigger warning for the use of slurs but other than that it was just a sweet story of Nick learning more about himself and his sexuality. There is one part where it is hinted at to Charlie being outed by someone.

Dog sitting and one of the dog moms has the entire Heartstopper series! I know what I‘m up to for the weekend! 💕🌈🐾

Just as good as the first volume!

Just as cute and fluffy as the first volume. ❤

Ugh. Young love. The images are perfect for the feelings but I'm not so much for the feelings.

Loved the first book flyning through the second one. Guessing i will have finished the series by the end of the weekend.

I adored every bit of this even if it sometimes makes me anxious because I'm reliving bits of my own teenage anxiety.

Anyone else love these books but find yourself unable to watch the Netflix adaptation because you have too many feels? Just me? Alright then.

More precious wholesome queer joy, with bisexuality rep too!! Yes!!

I liked more this second volume than the first one.
I loved the story between Charlie and Nick and I loved them in every page. they're so cuteeee
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

#TomKitten is not immune to Heartstopper mania. Total Nick Nelson stan over here. 🖤💖💜💙 #CatsOfLitsy

While I was reading this, I couldn‘t get over the fact that this author can write one really bad book (I‘m talking about the book Radio Silence NOT Heartstopper these are perfection) and then this great series. I love these but still, Charlie‘s body proportions are extremely weird. 5🌟

I cannot remember the last time that I read a book and immediately went to the bookstore to pick up the next one. Honestly, it might have been around 2008 with Charlene Harris.
I am utterly in love with this series. It is heartwarming and happy but not delusional. I cried, I smirked, I smiled, I felt GOOD after reading it.
I am excited to see what comes next for Charlie and Nick

Still on vacation but here is what I am reading this week
