Welcome to Litsy!

Last of my catch-up reviews for this week.

Book 2 in the Mercy Thompson series. It started off a bit slow with some repetitive info from book 1 (I understand this is necessary, but in this case it slowed down the beginning). However once our Mercy got roped into the vampire‘s problem it picked up. We find out more about the vampire seethe and how it works. We also got a bit more about Mercy‘s walker powers & some werewolf politics of course.

I was so excited to finally get this one! I have enjoyed Emily's story from start to finish, though I will admit, I found this one a bit slower than the previous two books. Still a solid four star read!

Starting today. Not only a 620 page book, but the font seems extra small!

Well, this was unexpected. Weird story, but have never heard anything like that before. Especially the colloquial language used. 💪

Back to my normal weekend routine after traveling last weekend. Starting a new book, having an egg and cheese on a cheddar chive biscuit and a latte, and then going to Petsmart.

Can‘t wait to see the lucky numbers!! #bookspin #doublebookspin

This graphic novel adaptation of the groundbreaking, time travelling science-fiction classic, offers an unflinching look at slavery, violence, race and the role of women in society.

A visually stunning work for a new generation of readers to appreciate!

The section about the unwritten poem and notes were interesting and similar to what I expected. However, I was hoping for more in the connections to The Silmarillion. I think I was looking more for character comparison rather than about sailing into the west. I‘ll be curious to hear what everyone else thinks.

3.5 🌟 I think this is a pick for me? I don‘t know who I would recommend this book to. I need a Xanax after going on this journey in the Alaskan tundra. A fierce love for the natural world rippled through the pages of this dark, eccentric tale. I felt fear, sorrow, devastation, horror, tenderness, more horror at the character‘s decisions (was this a horror novel?) I felt all of the feels, which is something! I‘m going to go…process some more.
