Welcome to Litsy!

5th stop on my DC #IndependentBookstoreDay tour was Second Story Books in Dupont, which is DC‘s oldest used bookstore, founded in 1973.

Since this was bookshop no. 5 for me, I got a gift—a Second Story pin & notebook.

I‘m at 10k+ steps and it‘s only 1:30. That‘s 5 hours of glorious bookshop browsing.

There‘s 1 more bookshop I want to hit, but first a stop at home to eat & rest for a minute.

500+ pages and just when you feel like maybe, just maybe, the pacing is going to pick up- bam. The book is over and you are expected to pick up the next doorstopper. No thanks.

It was fun sinking back into Robin Hobb‘s world of the Rain Wilds, rejoining dragons and keepers for book 2 in this series.

The dragons selfish and childish behavior at the beginning had me rolling my eyes, but the characters and setting and Hobb‘s writing quickly absorbed me. I think book 3 is in my near future.

I‘m not really sure how I feel about this book, the characters or the series to be honest.
It may not be for everyone but it is a complex, intricate and intelligent story.

Starting the first book in The Rain Wild Chronicles 🐉💙💚

No one can quite torture her characters (especially Fitz) - and her readers - quite like Robin Hobb. As usual, Fitz is full of plans but, alas, life intervenes. But he's back with the Fool and searching for little Bee.

Love Robin Hobb books, but yet to get to the Dragon #Wild Chronicles.
