So far this is a truly fascinating read about the Celts.

I read this book in one sitting, and I believe that is the only way you can do this justice. This is a bizarre, twisting tale about a week in broken Auri's life that reads like poetry.

So far this book has been a rich and vibrant narrative. It's told anecdotally, conversationally, and I'm enjoying it far more than I had expected to. (I'm up to ch 7)

#sizzlinsummerbooks Day 4: Red white blue. If you haven't read The Gun Seller (by Hugh Laurie of House fame) I highly recommend it. It's really funny and quirky. Happy 4th of July to my American friends!

There's nothing like the friendship between a man and his dog - or in this case, Newt Scamander and Pickett.

"Now come on, Pickett. Pickett. No, they're not going to bully you...Now, come on, Pickett!

PICKETT clings by his spindly hands to one of NEWT's fingers, determined not to return to the tree. NEWT resigns himself.

All right. But this is exactly why they accuse me of favouritism.

#sizzlinsummerbooks Day 1: TBR I can't wait to really sink my teeth into this series.

#junereads It's amazing how many books I can churn through when I'm avoiding writing a difficult scene.
- The Raven Cycle (re-read Books 1-4)
- The Imperial Radch Series (Books 1-3)

I'm going to do my best to complete my first ever Litsy book challenge 😄#sizzlinsummerbooks even though it's winter here in Australia. #litsybookchallenge I have to say, all the Litsy peeps are so lovely and welcoming 😊

Pros: This is a quick read, everything is more or less wrapped up in the series, some interesting characters.
Cons: Very little action, lots of relationship drama rather than world drama, everything feels a little too neat and tidy.

Look what arrived in the mail today! I am so excited to read this series. Everyone I know who has read it speaks so highly of it. Edits will have to wait #themistborntrilogy

Norwegian Wood opened my eyes to a whole new type of fiction. It is a great gateway drug to Murakami's bizarre brand of writing. This is a strange, beautiful coming of age story that I highly recommend.

I thought this #welcomelitten tag might be a fun way to meet some of the Litsy community 😊

This book was all about politics, and lacked a lot of the action and suspense of Ancillary Justice. That being said, I still mostly enjoyed this book.

This is my own book baby 😊 Rachaya always knew she was a dragon, but didn't really know what it meant. She is discovered by the dragons and they take her back to the dragon sanctuary, Fyrebyrne Island. She has to go to school with the other dragons, learning how to transform and use her fire. Oh, and she's also a princess (how did her mum forget to tell her that) and she's determined to be a warrior queen like the dragons of old.

This is my current reread- one chapter a day is all I am allowed. I'm analysing what it was about the language usage that grabbed me so firmly when I read it about 7 years ago.
