Welcome to Litsy!

The 540+ pages go quickly in this YA story told partially in diary excerpts from 1982 & illustrations from the present day. About two young girls, one in each time frame, both lonely & neglected, one severely bullied. Beautiful to look at, more sad than scary, although there is a spooky vibe. Due to the subject matter-probably for junior high & up. Using it for #LitsyReadingChallenge #LRC17 as the cover drove me to pick it up at the library.📚👍😔

I finally read one of the #kindlefirst books I‘ve been downloading every month with my Prime subscription! I definitely chose it based on its cover, and it was only a so-so read, but it completes my #litsyreadingchallenge for 2017, so I‘m pleased 😀

#LRC17

I decided to read this after seeing all the good reviews and because it sounded similar to Elle Kennedy's Off-campus series, which I loved. Very happy I did....and the abs on that cover!!😍 #LitsyReadingChallenge #LRC17 #LitsyAtoZ #LetterH

I wish I liked this book more than I do. It deserves praise for being inspiring and honest about anxiety, autism, feminism, gender roles, bisexuality, and self-acceptance. I was truly moved by a lot of this. Unfortunately, I never connected with characters. It also has super insta-love elements that I couldn't get into. I think many people out there will LOVE it, though. #litsyatoz - Q #lrc17 #judgebycover because THAT COVER IS SO GORGEOUS.

And moving on to #LRC17 book #20 - a book on my TBR for over a year. This is my husband's copy. In light reports of recent book burnings, I figured it was high time to read this. #lifeimitatingfiction?

I started this book today and finished it today. I can honestly say I hated it to start off - I found Ove impossible to like. He was rude, abrasive and just plain mean. As Parvaneh and company slowly peel back the layers of hide, I found myself rooting for Ove. A solid 4 star book for me.

Finally getting to this today. #LRC17 a book from a translation.

Using @Marchpane 's idea, to keep track of my #litsyreadingchallenge. So far:
#LRC13 #historicalevent: Columbine
#LRC17 #judgebycover: Wishful Drinking
#LRC15 #translated: A Man Called Ove
#LRC7 #aboutimmigration: Homegoing
#LRC25 #freespace: HP & the Cursed Child

Adorable cover! Set in Brooklyn! I read the whole book! (Those are all the good things I could come up with.)
