Welcome to Litsy!

We saw road signs for a Danish windmill in the middle of Iowa on our way to see John Green. What was supposed to be a quick detour for it turned into about an hour of book shopping, touring the grounds, looking at trinkets, and an impromptu mead tasting with two old ladies who sold me some Viking Blod to sip while I read my new book of Nordic folk tales tonight. 🤍

I do NOT get the hate, guys. This book was swoon-worthy! Now, I love Vikings, and have watched every Viking show there is, so maybe I‘m biased, but Bjorn— what a man!! I am going to be dying until book 2 release. Also, The Bridge Kingdom is moving up on my TBR. 5/5

For #weeklyfavorites, I DNF‘d the #whimsicalreadsbookclub pick. I really tried my best but I couldn‘t get into it. From the beginning, I just knew it wouldn‘t be for me. It‘s a Viking fantasy romance. I‘m willing to still try out some other Viking books though.

Here‘s my review.

I don‘t really know what‘s going on in this story. The woman in this book killed her husband and there‘s supposed be a new husband. There‘s no romance or sex yet. I‘m so bored and I‘m not liking the characters in this book. I don‘t care about what‘s going on but I‘m not bailing on it yet. One of the women said that the new guy is hot and I just rolled my eyes.

1. In The End - Linkin Park

2. The tagged book is a Viking fantasy romance and it has Norse Mythology. In this book, the woman killed her husband. There‘s no romance or sex yet but there‘s a guy who‘s supposed to be the new husband. I don‘t really know what‘s going on in this book right now but I‘m not enjoying it. I‘m so bored. I don‘t think there‘s an Linkin Park song for this book.

I enjoyed this month‘s #whimsicalreads book club pick. Lots of Norse mythology and our FMC Freya is born with a drop of a God‘s blood so everyone is trying to use her to achieve their own ambitions. I enjoyed the love story but quite a cliffhanger ending so I‘ll def have to read book 2. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I started this month‘s pick for the #whimsicalreadsbookclub and I don‘t know what to think about it. I‘ve never read a Viking fantasy romance. When I get about 60% of the way through this then I‘ll decide if I want to continue reading this book or not.

This book is a Viking fantasy romance and it‘s Norse Mythology. I have a reading buddy with me. My mom and I haven‘t adopted him yet but he‘s been showing up here every day wanting to eat so we‘ve been feeding him and we‘ve been calling him Tom. I posted something on my neighborhood‘s Facebook group asking if anyone is missing a kitty. If no one claims him then we‘ll adopt him.

Freya, born with the blood of a protection goddess in her veins, is pulled into a fight for a kingship beyond her understanding. & her only ally is her new husband‘s very attractive & charming son.

This had a lot I liked. Fantastic scene setting, absolutely fascinating magic systems & interpretation of children of gods. However, I could not care less about this romance, which made everything else w/ these characters feel flat. So, YMMV.🌕🌕🌕🌗🌑
