pickI read this a long time ago but really loved it. I keep meaning to read more in the series. Happy St. Patrick's Day to all who observe it. My husband made this Guinness and Baileys Irish creme frosting cake. (He used Guinness zero in the cake, and Irish cream flavored coffee syrup with Irish butter for the frosting to make it sober friendly.) My tea was Irish Breakfast. Carrigaline pottery.

pick4 Stars • Tricked is the fourth book in The Iron Druid Chronicles by Kevin Hearne. In this novel, Atticus O'Sullivan, a 2,000-year-old Druid, teams up with the Navajo trickster god Coyote to fake his death and avoid the wrath of Norse gods. This leads to confrontations with skinwalkers and other supernatural entities. The book includes themes of cunning, betrayal, and survival, maintaining the series' blend of humor, urban fantasy, and mythology.
It was after the name Conn-eda the province of Connaucht, or Conneda, or Connacht, was so called.

In this week of thrifted finds, I bring this set. This looks like an interesting fusion of sci-fi and fantasy. While I have all three of the trilogy, the last isn't original to the others. I can tell because the page ends have aged differently, and the cover has silver around the artwork. The order of books is The Copper Crown, The Throne of Scone, and The Silver Branch. I've heard on Instagram that these are complex and beautiful.

I went overboard at the charity shop's book sale but there was a lot more choice than usual on the English book shelves. I think someone (probably American) must have moved away.
I left all the autobiographies of US politicians and business people and all the romances for others....
