Litsy

It‘s difficult to make out but that is snow in the upper hills. I live on the central coast of California. It snowed in late April. This is some of the weirdest weather I‘ve seen here.

Edited to add: Bummer, I‘ve been posting square photos until now and had no idea you couldn‘t see the whole if it wasn‘t square. Well, enjoy looking at the hominy? 😝 🤦🏼‍♂️

Reading in the ER. Needed a physical book because my phone doesn‘t stay charged forever. What I‘ve learned in this book is that all demon-possession in stories now has a very sinister feel because it‘s always the disabled person.

Texreader I hope everything is ok. 6d

IriDas @Texreader It seems to be. My older daughter has certain health issues that require surgery every once in a while and I feared that‘s what it was. So, I‘m happy it‘s just probably an ulcer? 🤷 🤦🏼‍♂️ 🤪😞 5d

Mostly new cast for the librarians, but still the same Library! They‘ll have to save the world from bad people who want to steal the magic!

I‘m so looking forward to the new season!

Deblovestoread Fun! 2w

CrowCAH @Deblovestoread it‘s a neat premise. And the tagged book is inspired by the original three movies and tv show. 2w

iread2much Ooo, that‘s very exciting! I loved the show, although they really should be called the Archivists . 2w

CrowCAH @Deblovestoread I‘m hoping it will have the same lighthearted adventure as the other series had. 2w

A Dead Djinn in Cairo: A Tor.Com Original | P. Djeli Clark

so-so

This story reminds me a lot of the movie Hellboy. Magic, djinn, angels(?), otherworldly beings, the threat of total destruction of our world, doom, despair. It was interesting but just OK. ⭐️⭐️⭐️

pick

(2003) A young magician works a spell far above his level of training to summon a demon for a plan of petty revenge. Things go downhill from there. For a book in which all the characters are dislikable except for the demon a little bit, it's surprisingly fun.

#WhereAreYouMonday

This Monday I find myself in an alternative historical, steampunk version of early 20th century Cairo, where magic and djinns are commonplace. A murder mystery with supernatural elements, this fantasy world that Clark has created is fantastic.

Ruthiella @ChaoticMissAdventures I hope you like it! I read the two stories/novellas set in this series a couple of years ago now and was intrigued. 1mo

Centique I love this series (or is it a collection?) Whatever it is, I loved being in such an exciting and different fantasy world. I need more of these! 3w

Ruthiella @CaramelLunacy It‘s a fantastic alternate and fantastical world the author has conjured up! 3w

Ruthiella @Centique Right? Maybe less of a series and more a shared fictional world? I also love it because it‘s different from so many other fantasy imaginings. 3w
