Welcome to Litsy!

This was a perfect read for this time of year. The descriptions of the ice were wintery perfection. ❄

Great characters, great world building, and the ending has a big cliffhanger that has me wishing I had the second book already.

I‘m going to continue reading these because I LOVED The Books of the Ancestor. So, any chance to return to this world is worth it for me. However, I have some complaints. There are FAR too many battles & not nearly enough levity. And Lawrence does something that‘s a big pet peeve of mine; this first installment ends on such a major cliffhanger that it doesn‘t feel remotely whole unto itself. It‘s incomplete. The story could never stand on its own.

“There‘s nothing like friendship for pulling someone down a hole…or out of it.”

I am posting one book per day from my to-be-read collection. No description and providing no reason for wanting to read it, I just do. Some will be old, some will be new - don‘t judge me I have a lot of books.
Join the fun if you want. This is day 122.

The colossal head known as the “Younger Memnon,“ from the mortuary temple of Ramses in Thebes. Now in London. Created around 1270 BC and installed in the British Museum Egyptian Room #4 in 1834. The arrival of the Younger Memnon in London in 1821 likely inspired the twin sonnets entitled “Ozymandias“ by P.B.Shelley and Horace Smith. #lmpbc #round8 #groupC @laughterhp @unidragonfrag

For some reason I just didn‘t like this book. The world was interesting and that really what kept me reading. If it wasn‘t an #LMPBC book, I probably would have bailed.

I don‘t want to say too much since 1 more person still needs to read this, but it was a lot more YA than I thought it was going to be. 😬😬

Hey Group C! Just wanted to check in with everyone to see how they‘re doing on current reads. I honestly don‘t even know where we are actually supposed to be in this rotation.

I‘m about 130 pages into the tagged book. It‘s slow going. It‘s a lot more YA than I thought it. I‘m hoping to be done in May, but it‘ll probably be the first week of June.

This is the Illummicrate book for May!

Another brilliant fantasy offering from Mark Lawrence. Great new story and characters and a great cliff hanger ending 😁 Can‘t wait for the next one.

I love this book. Yaz is a great character, full of doubts but also determination to do what‘s right. I loved being back on Abeth, with mentions of the places from Red Sister, but also very different as this is life on the ice and below it. For me it had a sense of wonder and atmosphere that reminded me of when I read The Tombs of Atuan by Ursula Le Guin many years ago…..but this is very different, with fantastic world building.Utterly brilliant.

I‘ve been waiting a while for this ..... hopefully this will fill a few days 🤦🏻‍♂️😂 #currentread

This was really good! The next one doesn't come out for a while, so I'll probably pick up the other stories set in this same world to soothe my annoyance arty having to wait a year for the next one 😩
#LMPBC #GroupC - I'll be sending this out Monday! To @Geenie I believe?

#LMPBC #GroupC so, I chose 2 female authors and 3 of these are fantasy. The Ruby in the Smoke has fantasy as a tag though I think it's more historical fiction, but I don't know. I'll tag them in the comments w/the pg counts.

📚📚Looks like I'm going to choose the tagged book!📚📚
