Welcome to Litsy!

Fantasy isn't really my jam but I've heard amazing things about Kuang AND this one was about books AND my partner is a fan AND I nabbed a skip-the-line audio AND we were spending 10 days hiking in the Alps so it was a perfect choice for a joint listen. I did like the bookish parts and the back stories of both Alice & Peter. The rest... Meh.

An excellent re-read. Forgot how absolutely jam-packed the first book in this series is. I think it's that only book series where I would recommend the audiobook over the physical and insist on 1x playback because Kobna Holdbrook-Smith is THAT GOOD of a narrator/performer. The jazzy chapter intros don't hurt either. Might take a bit with the library hold list, but I think I'm set to reread the whole series at this point. 1/?

Wishing you moments of peace, rest, and joy in the last few days of the year.

When my mother was alive, I was a different person. That little girl wore simple clothes and wildflowers in her hair and could sing any aria or tavern song known in the Northern Kingdoms.

My favourite book from March was this debut fairytale from Australian author, Kell Woods. It‘s a blend of many tales but the central character is Greta and follows what happens to her, post gingerbread cottage.

I know the story from the manhwa (which is up to this point preeetty faithful to this version), but it was still fun to read it in this format and get just a little more of the detail. Jinwoo is so clueless about people's feelings, ahahaha.

Enjoyed it a lot.

Thank you @Captivatedbybooks for an absolutely **PURRfect** 12/10 no notes #NLHS #naughtylistholidayswap package. The cookies look soooo good, I just caught a cold 😭 so fuzzy socks and hot drinks are a must, I‘m obsessed with the smell of the candle and her adorable kitty ornament and bookends, and can‘t wait to dig into this book and build myself a weird chocolate Santa 😂 Love it all so much!!

I seem to have caught a winter cough so Rolo is helping me recover as I read in bed. This book is interesting and kind of gives me the urban fantasy equivalent of The Last Wish vibes.
