Welcome to Litsy!

I have now re-read all of the Pullman books in HDM and BoD until the final installment. Waiting to see what happens with #Jolabokaflod vs library availability and then I'll finish this epic journey! What a wonderful and thought-provoking collection with so many metaphors.

Jk... Apparently none of my photos are posting and I don't know why 😭😭😭

(2022) Second in the trilogy beginning with “Black Sun,“ this is a fantasy set in a would inspired by pre-Columbian America. This entry develops the worldbuilding and the political maneuvering. It's a fun world, and this is a fun visit, but it also feels a little directionless to me, like moving people around for the sake of filling Book Two. Looking forward to a grand showdown in Book Three.

Another cozy fantasy success by Baldree. This book was a fun mix of adventure and ridiculousness. Fern steals the show with her epic midlife crisis. Sometimes, a drunken nap can be the push to find a new path to happiness.

For the audiobook fans: Baldree did a great job. I was nervous about the author reading his own book at first, but I completely fell into the story.

Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC!

3.25⭐
Unlike the first book, this one didn't draw me in. The endless “mate“ references didn't help—she uses it constantly. We get it, they're mated. Honestly, I think I liked it more when they had the angst between them, and now that they‘re “mated,” all that delicious tension is gone. Sometimes I was just downright bored with the monotony this was giving.
🎙️•I love duet narration, so this was obviously fantastically done.

Starting this tonight

This is such a great series. I‘m so excited to see what happens next for Sakura and her friends. I can‘t wait to see what happens in the next book. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I originally skipped this when it came out but have liked Harrow‘s other books so I thought I‘d give it a try. But it‘s just not working for me. I‘m finding it disjointed which is making me uninterested. I‘m glad I skipped it before so it didn‘t stop me from enjoying her other books!

I reread (or listen to) A Christmas Carol every year…I really like Hugh Grant‘s narration!

4⭐️ I read this due to Libby doing a big read and my home library having a challenge related to this book. I was pleasantly surprised with this book and quite enjoyed it. #2025 #fiction #middlegrade #fantasy #magicalrealism

Still trucking on my reread of this favorite series. And damn, I forgot how EPIC and badass the end of this one is. Just chills! So good.
