Welcome to Litsy!

Philip of France & Richard the Lionheart discover a mutual spark of attraction @ the same time Phillip is establishing his reign & Richard is dealing w/ a controlling father & an imprisoned mother.

Interesting characters & good scene setting, but 2 problems for me. I wasn‘t invested in the romance, & I‘m not usually into books that reimagine established historical figures so much. W/ a different background, I would have liked it better.🌕🌕🌑🌑🌑

It's interesting to see how each P&P retelling incorporates that famous first line. This one is so cheeky, with just a nod to the original. Love it

This sequel to Dark Rise is every bit as tense & exciting as the first with all the adventure, danger, death, betrayal, magic, & secrets you could want. More big reveals raise the stakes, choices lead to further complications and then of course everything gets turned on its head. Now comes the wait—however long it might be—for the third and final book. A very entertaining read as I expected.

Quite a lot learned in this volume! I‘m looking forward to seeing where else this story goes. #Manga #LGBTQIA

Started this middle book in a YA fantasy series last night. (Finally decided it had languished on the shelf too long.) 😬 The first book ended with a fantastic reveal and takes that reveal and runs with it. I‘m expecting an entertaining read & then, most likely, a bit of a wait for the third one.

(Also, I really like the font it‘s using…)

I‘ve been aware of this book for a while and finally decided to pick it up. I‘m glad I did. I really enjoyed it. These are mostly stories of hope and of how people fought oppression and won. I teared up on more than one occasion from something beautiful that happened. Thank you to our queer elders for sharing your story, and to Mason Funk for collecting and safeguarding them. #LGBTQIA #History
