Welcome to Litsy!

I am ready! I might read the 1990s edition as I've cracked the spine and it's already well read

I want to read the Rick Riordan books. I might split it up because it is long. Read other books in-between rather than trying to read it all at once

#RealmofElderlings

repost for @PuddleJumper:

Royal Assassin is the second book in the Farseer Trilogy #RealmofElderlings

How is everyone feeling about the series so far?

I‘ve got about 50 pages left of Assassin‘s Apprentice will hopefully get it finished this week. I‘m excited and a little intimidated by the second book. Been an age since I‘ve read anything that long and I think it‘s going to hurt but also fuck yeah my favourite character!

I'm basically reading the Realm of the Elderlings series in Star Wars order. I breezed through books 4, 5, & 6, and now I'm going back to 1, 2, & 3! I LOVED The Liveship Traders, but I feel like I would've loved Ship of Destiny *that* much more if I'd gotten the references to the elderling cities. Oh no, is that an excuse to go back and re-read it?! Darn!

I‘m reading this book for the #realmofelderlings readalong and it‘s good so far. I‘m going to come back to this book but I want to take a break from this book for a while and read a bad boy sports romance series that I have chosen on my Kindle to finish this month. I enjoyed the first book in the series but I never continued with the series.

Getting ready for #RealmofElderlings by finding my copies

The grey one is my original book from when I was a teenager. It is so tiny, the font is tiny and I squint when I look at it

The other copy is my nice copy and I don't want to ruin it ... By reading it? 🤣

This is the first planned reading schedule for #RealmofElderlings

It could change depending on how people find it.

I‘m giving 2 months for books over 500 pages which is pretty much all of them! This means it will take about 2 years to get through the entire series.

We'll be starting with Assassin's Apprentice in February, there will be a buddy read and readalong on SG and I'll post start, mid, end posts on Litsy

Would anyone be interested in a Realm of Elderlings readalong/monthly buddy read? I haven't read the last few series and I want to and I also want to obsess over them

Also, which series would you start with? Because I started with the Liveship Traders and then read the Farseer trilogy. I think Liveship Traders is easier to get into

Okay I liked the first book in this series, this one I really didn‘t, with all that happened to the main character it was a little over the top. I tried, I really tried to get to “like” but I just couldn‘t. I know this is a popular series and I‘m trying to figure out why. the abuse is over the top and there should be some type of goal…if he can‘t get to where he needs to go. I think my biggest issue is, if he‘s an assassin how is he always caught?

It‘s a good summer to revisit some old favorite authors for me.
