#LELH #LitsyEventsLittleHelper @LitsyEvents

Hi, I‘m @AnishaInkspill, I've been here for over a year. I haven‘t always read books, I came to them, moving forward, I wanted to approach this year to get to more of the books I‘ve been wanting to read. This is how my #3BookChallenge2026 came about: #26Shorts2026, #LongReadsWorkout2026 and #LikeForLikeReads2026.

The bigger goal was to keep my reading fun, that how I created these three.⬇️

AnishaInkspill ⬆️ #26Shorts2026 is a short story challenge, to read 26 that fit a prompt with the optional of reading another 6.

#LongReadsWorkout2026 is a challenge to get to the longer books, there‘s a choice of doing a workout that reaches 500+ pages, or one that is 600+ pages, leaving the room to take that jump to read 800+ pages as optional.

#LikeForLikeReads2026 is a challenge to read books that have something in common.⬇️

AnishaInkspill ⬆️ Together these challenges are #3BookChallenge2026. If you want to be just tagged and see how these challenges play out then I can keep you updated. You‘re also more than welcome to join in one of them and do as much or little that works for you. All three challenges are on Storygraph (links below), and for #26Shorts2026, I‘ve also set up a group on LibraryThing.com.⬇️ (edited) 39m

The Rose Field: The Book of Dust | Philip Pullman, Patricia Pushlady

I am distraught. This did not work. The book is, quite simply, uncooked. Needed several more revisions with a strong editor. I don't think this book falling flat damages the His Dark Materials legacy, but I do think as HDM lives on The Book of Dust is likely to go largely unread.

It‘s hard for me to dislike Malcolm but his attraction to Lyra does make me side-eye Pullman. Untoward! Not toward!

In my fantasy world, Lee Scoresby and Iorek Byrnison are just my dads and we travel the world by balloon, leaving a trail of mayhem and mischief in true chaotic good fashion.

One of the things I love about this series is how it hits me differently each time I read it! This time around I am conflicted about the young romance but will never not be absolutely thrilled by the reveal of the Authority. As over-the-top preachy as Pullman can be, his conclusion there is brilliant satire. (Avoiding spoilers but will add in the comments.)

everlocalwest The Authority's exit being so anticlimactic is an absolutely brazen choice and I love Pullman for it! 4h

For me, it cannot compete with Golden Compass but it's not supposed to. Like all trilogies, this one has its bridge book. And I love it still.

Golden Compass | Philip Pullman

The start of a fresh binge so that I can finally read the new trilogy!! Told a friend that this is a cozy, nostalgic read for me and his response was “isn't it like, really violent?“

They can't all be sugarplums, I guess.

The human spider demons make me so uncomfortable, but other than that, this was a really enjoyable volume. The humor mixed in makes the story feel so much lighter than it actually is, but I'm really liking that about it.
