Chain-Gang All-Stars: A Novel | Adjei-Brenyah, Nana K
post image
Pickpick

What an intense listen! Following Blood Sports of the prison system, this dystopian novel expertly portrays how society can detach from the prison system and see prisoners as nothing more than their crimes due for punishment instead of rehabilitation. My only issue was that there were so many characters which made it hard to follow at times. 4⭐️ for me! #litsylovereads

The author states this book is much darker than the first book and that is ABSOLUTELY RIGHT. Harder to read but I also could not put it down. So much pain and healing happening and Sibby is my favorite… I‘m really upset with the author about leaving us in the dark there! 4⭐️ for me! #litsylovereads

4.5 ★

I‘ll be honest, at the beginning of this book I was a little like what the heck am I reading? Very detailed and dense with many characters that had me slightly discombobulated. BUT I finally started to connect all the dots and goodness gracious is this book good! Flew through 800 pages like it was nothing and can‘t wait to pick up book two! #LitsyLoveReads

4.5 ★

Despite not knowing a single thing about tennis, Carrie Soto Is Back is a phenomenal read. An elite female tennis player fights her way back to the top despite being written off by the tennis world due to being considered “too old” and called a bitch by many others. The audio version is amazing and brings this story to life even more so than just reading. Highly recommend the listen! #LitsyLoveReads

Yikes! I do not take DNF lightly but When Grumpy Met Sunshine was just not for me. Flat and uninteresting banter gave me nothing to be excited about. All I could think about was what book I could be reading instead. So I took that as a sign to DNF and move on. Better luck to the next reader! #LitsyLoveReads

Thank you NetGalley and St Martin‘s Press for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I‘m convinced that Ali Hazelwood can do no wrong when it comes to writing.

Her books and characters are relatable, charming, sexy, funny, witty all while integrating serious notes of emotion and what it‘s like to be a woman in male dominated fields. Love, Theoretically is all those things plus an enemies to lovers, empowering, embrace who you truly are plotline. Highly recommend! #LitsyLoveReads

The Ashes & The Star-Cursed King by Carissa Broadbent

4 ★

Bittersweet is the first thing that comes to mind when reading The Ashes & The Star-Cursed King. Book two picks up immediately where book one left off and is packed with so much emotion and action from start to finish. The character relationships are so raw and real, it‘s impossible not to feel attached.

Spoiler: I‘m not ready for Raihn and Oraya‘s story to end 😭

I think I had too high of expectations based on all the 5 star reviews as it wasn‘t really a 5 star book in my opinion. Finlay Donovan Is Killing It was an easy, quick read with a really good ending and some great characters. But I think I missed the charm and comedic relief that so many others enjoyed. #LitsyLoveReads

I think I had too high expectations for this book as it kept popping up as a recommendation for me based on my most recent reads and boy was it missing a little bit of the spice factor 🌶️

A slower start but once things got moving at about 20%, I found it hard to put the book down! Overall, a solid read for me!

I adored Secretly Yours by Tessa Bailey but I thought the storyline was just a little rushed and unrealistic.

Bookpearl How are you enjoying your Oasis? This is on my list to purchase but my Kindle Paperwhite still works and I cannot justify buying it just yet. 5mo
readwithcori @Bookpearl I really love it!! I love the buttons and that I can flip it to either hold in my left or right hand (my one complaint with my Paperwhite when trying to read in bed and trying to figure out how to hold it). The oasis battery isn‘t as great but it still hangs in there with some pretty heavy use! Definitely don‘t regret upgrading! 5mo
