I like that you can track what book you're reading and talk about books also posting pictures and anything else that you might think of that's book related everyone there is super nice as well. (0 more)
I can't find anything bad (0 more)
A good place to talk about books
Pretty much all that I have stated above in the good. If you are looking to connect with people who share your love of reading and are looking to communicate ideas and different opinions where people will respect you and give you a chance to share it without criticism then litsy should be the place for you.

Back in Time
Girl: "OMG, hey!! I haven't seen you for so long"

Me: "Hi, I know its been a while"

Girl: "You look so different! You weren't like this before, you've changed..."

This is a conversation I have so many times with old school friends, family members who haven't seen me for a while or general passers-by that like to give me their opinions. I always find that statement odd "you've changed". Like I should remain the same two-dimensional person my entire life. When people tell me I've changed, I usually reply with "I hope so!"

Wow! Sylvain Neuvel has done it again! I was so excited when I was approved for this ARC because I absolutely LOVE these books and Only Human is just as magnificent as the first two. I started reading it earlier this afternoon and finished it at a little after 1am; I couldn't sleep without knowing how it ended!

I'll post a longer review closer to the release date, I need a minute to process all my thoughts on this one. Just know that it is an incredible end to an amazing trilogy!

**Many thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the ARC!! All opinions are my own.**

I really enjoyed this book! But I would Highly suggest buying an actual copy of it!

I love all things travel and knew when this book popped up that I had to read it. For someone who has always wanted to go to Ireland but has yet to have the opportunity this book was a dream! It made my imaginations come alive with the descriptions from the authors. The only thing I wish was that there were pictures in the book.

Highly recommend for anyone who likes travel.

Loved the photo's in this book! They helped bring the recipes to life before I even started making them :) While I have not made all of them, the instructions and ingredients are easy to find and follow. Plus, they taste good. Which is a definite plus. I recommend checking out this book (I am dairy free for life because of an allergy) while not all the recipes were completely dairy free, they were easy to convert.

I give this book 5 out of 5 stars :)

This was much more difficult that I thought it would be!
It was sooo.. good for me to complete this 40-day sugar fast while thinking on scripture and how I can apply these principles :)
I really enjoyed the way the book flowed and I loved Wendy Speake's insight and encouragement. I think everyone should read this book at least once.
I give this book 5 out of 5 stars for the encouragement, the health reasons, and for the many truths found between these pages.

This was such a sweetly written story!
 I entirely enjoyed this read. From the very captivating beginning to the mining town of San Francisco, this story gives my imagination room to breath. I loved the characters, the descriptions of them, the interaction between them, and the hopeful lead into to another book at the end. The setting was very informative and gave me a great look at life back in the 1800's. I highly recommend this book.

Oh WOW This book was simply amazing!
 I have not read very many books by Amy Clipston but this one was Great. Such a compelling story about listening to what God has for you even though it is hard and you do not always have support. God uses these times to grow us and show us the way we are suppose to go. A truly great read that made my heart happy ! I highly recommend getting this book into your hands!

What an unexpected twist this tale took for me as I definitely did not see it coming. I found this to be an exciting read with interesting characters and I read it all in one sitting. I was gripped by the death of a character right off the bat and I was held captive until the horrific end. The only reason I gave it four stars was because there were times when the story lagged and seemed to go off the beaten path. I still recommend this book.
