Sherlock Holmes (#noplacelikeholmes), I‘m caught up on this buddy read.

Assassin‘s Apprentice (#realmofelderlings), I need to catch up on the buddy read.

My Healthy Noggin (#roll100), I probably won‘t finish it this month.

The Mysterious Affair At Styles (#christiescapers), I just started it last night but I‘ll be able to finish it. This book mentioned Sherlock Holmes in the first chapter. I thought that was interesting.

I‘m still reading the tagged book for #realmofelderlings. I‘ve started it but I don‘t know when I‘ll get back to reading it because I started reading The Starless Sea and it‘s longer than this book. I‘m borrowing The Starless Sea from Libby but I need to read it fast because it‘s due in 10 days. The due date is March 19. I have plenty of time but I like returning books early as soon as I finish them so the next person can start reading the book.

Here‘s my #bookspinbingo list for March. I joined 2 buddy reads in February: #christiescapers and #naturalitsy. I‘m 2 months behind on those books because I‘m just joining but I should have time to catch up with everyone else. I‘m going to be reading more of Assassin‘s Apprentice for #realmofelderlings. I‘m in a book club on Fable but I don‘t know what we‘re reading yet. When I find out, I‘ll read it.

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! 3w

Here‘s how I did on #bookspinbingo in February with the picks that were chosen. I completed a book series for #serieslove2025 and I started Assassin‘s Apprentice for #realmofelderlings but I‘m not finished yet. I don‘t know when I‘ll get finished but I‘m taking my time.

TheAromaofBooks Yay!! Looking great!! 3w

Here‘s how I did on #bookspinbingo in February. I started the #realmofelderlings book but I didn‘t finish it and I didn‘t expect to. I finished 1 series for #serieslove2025, read the short stories I needed to read for #noplacelikeholmes, read my book club book and only read 1 book from my #roll100 list. I also started another #roll100 book but I didn‘t finish it.

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! Great month!! 3w

I originally read this book in 2019. It was and still is the only book I‘ve read by Robin Hobb. Because I read this so long ago, I didn‘t remember a thing about it! So it was like reading a new book to me. I enjoyed it just as much this time as I did last time, but this time I plan to actually continue the series.

For #weeklyfavorites, I read Sea Magick. It‘s about the ocean. It has spells, invocations, meditations and mythology. I really liked this book. This was on my #roll100 list. This week, I finished the short story from Sherlock Holmes for #noplacelikeholmes. I have 2 books in progress: Assassin‘s Apprentice for #realmofelderlings and My Healthy Noggin from my #roll100 list. It has blank journal pages and I‘m journaling along with the book.

Read4life Sounds like you‘ve got some good reading going on!! 💙🩷💙 4w

I am ready! I might read the 1990s edition as I've cracked the spine and it's already well read

I want to read the Rick Riordan books. I might split it up because it is long. Read other books in-between rather than trying to read it all at once

The first ¾ of this book are very slow and then it speeds up at the end.

It's the recollections of a royal bastard starting from when he was very young. His memories become clearer as he becomes older, though not always.

Fitz is not a reliable narrator. Whether that is deliberate or because memories are fallible. It's interesting to grow alongside him and learn what he finds value in and the people and events that shaped him.

PuddleJumper It can be confusing at times because you're being introduced to this fantasy world and its fantasy politics through a man remembering his childhood.

Author Fitz does not include much context for the reader. I liked this. It felt authentic to the narrative and I can respect a character that is more interested in their dog's wellbeing than the favour currying at court especially when said character is a child.

PuddleJumper That said, I do understand why some people find this book boring. Having re-read it for the first time in years, I think I would recommend people to start with the Liveship Traders trilogy which is much easier to get into even though they are chonky books!

PuddleJumper I totally forgot I won this from Goodreads back when giveaways were available on the UK 4w
Rachel.Rencher @PuddleJumper I started with Liveship Traders and I'm so glad I did! I'm on Royal Assassin now, but I might not have gotten this far had I not started with book 4. 4w
PuddleJumper @Rachel.Rencher Liveship Traders are some of my favourite books. I do think they are more accessible than the Farseer Trilogy, maybe more traditional fantasy. I originally read them first which got me into the series. I don't think I would have gotten through Assassin's Apprentice the first time around if it was my first book. 4w
