Welcome to Litsy!

Starting this lovely tonight! It isn't in Litsy's library yet, though. 😕 Luckily, the author has a thing to do with #TF though, so I can still connect this to him, however loosely. 😁 #ActivatingCities #NoamAssayag #merrywanderer

#Aprella Day 15: From what I heard, the labyrinthine plot of these novels should prepare me for the inevitable #PlotTwist. Still haven‘t cracked Volume One open. Argh.

A must read for everyone wanting more from a book than just reading!

This is my most recent 5 star read. I gave it four stars my first time through, but I actually ended up liking it better the second time, so it‘s been bumped up to five stars. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Congratulations @booksandcooks and thanks for hosting the giveaway! 😃 #7777giveaway

Been busy this weekend and ended up getting a little behind for the reading group. Need to get caught up a bit on this one so I can start The Fifty Year Sword. 😬

How do we remember this emptiness so in fullness we won‘t forget?

From Clip 4 - “Whatever power we thought The Man had grown accustomed to handling was only the power we each will have to handle when inevitably the world shows us what little it takes to take it all away.”

If the kind of hilarious title for this Fall's upcoming volume didn't tip one off, vol. 4 starts to see events coming to a head in some pleasingly unexpected ways. The hidden strength of the series thus far is in the ways it tricks you to think ahead of it, only making the real outcomes all the more surprising.

From Clip 4: Loss like that, it does things to you. Strange things. Changing things. Until things are no longer things. And grace is only what grief taught to lie still.

"There is no need to ask where is outrage.

Outrage is the currency of harm."

Feels like I return to this well quite a bit, but hey, these are big books.

My library FINALLY got this in after being on order for months. I'm excited to get back into this strange, bizarre world.

I still don't really know what this is! But 4 down and 23 to go I guess! >^..^< #howmanyraindrops

God this is beautiful. #isthissmoke?

#aprilbookshowers day 24 - #shelfie

Gonna reach a point where I just have a designated "The Familiar" bookcase.

Kinda sorry @Dempsey couldn't get past the first volume, but at least I got my copy back. Guess I'll have to find another long, overly complicated literary endeavor to recommend. Hmmm...

Out with the family today, finally commited to the next entry in the series (was only a matter of time, mind). Snuck a peek at the end credits; glad to hear we'll be getting another one before the year is out.

The fourth in a series of 27 books, Hades brings so many threads tantalizingly close to each other! It makes me wish I had all the books to read now. I am enjoying the sheer breadth of the storytelling and the characters and the inventiveness apparent on each page.

Another volume down! Loving how the storylines continue to converge, and now I'm noticing some references to other MZD books as well. Can't wait for volume 5 on Halloween!

Help me choose my next (couple) books, Litsy!

#riotgram Challenge Day 16, #bookmarks ... most of my favorite bookmarks are beaded. One of my kids made the purple one for me in elementary school.

Take-out is the best on busy restaurant days. #sushi #misosoup

#riotgram Challenge Day 12. This is where I read, crochet, and knit #outside when it isn't freezing.

Yay, app updates giving me possibly THE BEST, MOST APPROPRIATE STICKER for this series! #TF4 #Hades #MZD #markzdanielewski
