Welcome to Litsy!

I'm 💯 Hobbit, are you? 😊

Great book if you are into Greek mythology- I loved it - very funny in parts too .

I discovered my library has the entire light novel series of The Apothecary Diaries last night. I got hooked on the manga last year. I‘m already loving the extra insight into Maomao's thoughts. She's so aloof but caring at the same time.

Fantasy/science fiction holds up a mirror to real life, and this one is SCATHING. A fascinating look at the dark side of humanity, ego and selfishness — but also the drive to do better. The choice of magic to power a city is an interesting one, with life‘s energy being used to run technology similar to our own. I wonder what we would do, given the choice, and am afraid I know. An absolutely outstanding read, if a difficult one.

I got a shipping notification from eBay the other day and was like hmm, what did I buy during my summer heatwave induced bout of insomnia this time?

The answer was this edition of Witch Week! I love it but I‘m very hopeful for some cooler nights and some deeper sleeps! Otherwise who knows what other parcels will turn up?!

Audio. This is an incredible cast of characters and setting. This sequel is about the fallout of the previous books fall from their style of the hunger games-esqu trials to be the best.
I love Nya so much. Still a favorite. My heart goes out to Xio after everything in the first book. All of this series has my heart.
Almost five stars, except for the closure. Great LGBTQ representation and romances.

"Men are not created equal; we all know this. There are averages. There are outliers. There are the ugly. There are the beautiful. This would not be if we were all equal. A Red can no more command a starship than a Green can serve as a doctor!"

Reading this with my online book club, https://thereadingloft.groups.io/g/main

There was no emotion coming off the FMC & MMC unless they were banging. The last 20% of the book is good, the spice was good, but I don‘t understand Kingfisher as everyone‘s new book boyfriend; I simply cannot lust over a 1700 year old male who can‘t communicate properly.

I‘m usually pretty lenient with the first of a series, I know we need time for worldbuilding & establishing the systems, but this wasn‘t anything too new & took forever.

Audiobook read by Tom Taylorson who did a superb job.

What a fun book! A cozy fantasy I actually really enjoyed. A former military man, and trained EMT is in search of a job. An elderly wizard needs a butler. A match made in, well, somewhere.
