Welcome to Litsy!

I really love this time travel/alternate history series! Chomping at the bit for the third one so I‘ll need to track that down asap. A LOT happens in this globe spanning epic w/ a large cast of characters, but it doesn‘t feel bogged down. I adore many of the characters (especially the Hollard siblings and their royal love interests 😉) and I think the author does a great job of not making the ancients stupid or inferior to the Nantucketers.

This installment doesn't quite live up to the first one but I still enjoyed my time with the characters (at least the good guys that is). There is a lart of darkness because the villains are so OTT evil and it is a military fantasy. A lot of this one deals with setting up alliances for what I assume will be the final showdown in book 3.

#BookReport
I had an abysmal reading week. I think I maybe read like ten pages total. Work has been crazy so I just kind of didn't have the mental energy for reading afterwards.

#WeeklyForecast
My goal is to make more progress in both books. They both have really tiny font so it feels like it's taking forever but if I get to 50% in either one I'll be happy with that for the week.

Rolo and I are RICE ing it up with a book today because I fell hard at derby practice last night and my pads could only do so much. My knee is swollen and there‘s a bruise forming but other than that it doesn‘t really hurt just feels stretched too tight from the swelling. Excellent excuse to do nothing but read though.

My goal was to read a big chunk of this during the week but oof at the minuscule text size. Definitely have to find my reading glasses.

You would think with my birthday happening tomorrow I would not be so shocked to find out that October is nearly upon us but here we are. I cannot wait for the new #BookSpin picks to come out. New to the list this month are the tagged and Grass.
