Welcome to Litsy!

Finished this one today. It was ok and I didn‘t DNF. But, yeah.

Another small cute book I have chosen for a bit of diversion.

I finished 8 books in December. My two favorites were The Scholar and the Last Faerie Door and an ARC of Emily Wilde's Compendium of Lost Tales. Both books with faeries!🧚‍♂️

Emily and Wendell embark on their journey into Wendell's realm. Having previously defeated his step-mother, taking the throne should be a formality, yet it is not so easy. A dark curse is threatening the kingdom and Emily soon realises they are living in a "fairy tale" whose many versions don't seem to have a happy ending. Emily is determined to use all her scholarly powers to find ⬇️

If you thought grumpy Cambridge scholar Emily Wilde‘s research into faerie-kind and their mysterious realms was enchanting, intense, or quite seriously ill-advised before…just wait until she becomes the queen of one! This series is so clever, delicious, and fantastically conceived—I‘ll walk through any faerie door on the heels of Emily, her dandy of a faerie prince, and their expanding world of colleagues, companions, beasts, friends, and foes!

Photos from our Saturday walk. We picked chestnuts: not only were they pretty, shiny and pristine, with not a maggot in sight and hardly any mud on them, but they were also delicious.
And Little Witch Hazel is a fantastic book for children. Grandkid loves the stories & I like the underpinning “hippy“ outlook on life - kind, understanding and tolerant (including of leg hair on women 😅)

“Fairy dust is very useful”

I loved the Fancy Nancy books growing up and when reading this, I was reminded a lot of them. The way the book is written as well as the illustrations. I would love to read this in an elementary class.

Alice the Fairy by David Shannon, published in 2004. This story is about Alice who is a temporary fairy and wants to become one permanently. The illustrations are very cartoonish and child like, and the text is written in a different way helps with the flow or reading.
