Welcome to Litsy!

This was my #doublespin for last December. I liked the story. At the beginning there was a bit of an information overload here and there. It was a bit graphic in places. But all in all an interesting story. @TheAromaofBooks
TBR since September 2021; 382 pages.

So excited to start on our last #readingwithfriends book for 2020! 🧝‍♀️🧙🏻‍♂️🧞‍♀️🧚‍♀️🧜‍♀️

It has been a minute, but #ThoughtfulThursday is BACK! ☘️I believe in Luck, absolutely. Some people are extraordinarily Lucky. But I also believe that you can make your own luck as well. ☘️Spring is starting where I live. The sun has returned & days grow longer. It definitely helps my spirits & personal motivation when the sun shines longer & the world reawakens. Winter months are hard for me.

Thank you so much Torie for the birthday gift! This book sounds awesome! Right up my alley! 😍 I'm hoping to get Valentine's cards out this weekend!

Aw man- I wanted to love this one!!! So much so that I own two copies!!! The premise had me intrigued but I only felt relief to have to finish it! The book reads like an alternative history textbook and ultimately feels like a very long prologue to a sequel that doesn‘t seem to be forthcoming (not that I would read it!). At first I thought maybe writing in the book was slowing me down, but the author does nothing for character or plot development

So! Here it is! The pile of books I'm hoping to get through in September!
Have you read any of them?

It was difficult to figure out which books to get with my Barnes and Noble gift card because there were so many I wanted. I chose these two in the end and I'm happy with my choice.

Book Mail! In the middle of #readathon and get a nice little surprise in the mailbox. And just check out that amazing cover! Excitement abounds

Guys... I really wanted to like this book, I really did. It took me forever to get through and I'm sad to say that I even sped read through some of the passages. Some parts were worth the read, but the plot was just so choppy and and character development so... I don't know. I'm guessing the word is blunt...
All in all it left me bereft...

Read tne first 10%. The world-building was promising, but i didnt care about characters or how the plot was developing. Life is too short to keep trying.

Thanks to a few friends giving me gift cards over the holidays, my little afternoon shopping spree didn't cost me a thing 💖🎉📚 😍

Ok, I consider myself a smart person, but this exchange was lost on me.... I hate when scheming and plotting goes on in a book and I lose track of the plans. I know he wants to launder the money through Jewish bankers, but I got lost with the church giving the confiscated land back??

Right... Because in no way could anyone sack Rome on their own without demonic help... And all the knowledge the celts had that the Vatican did not MUST be given to them by demons & it must be wicked to have know lapse on how the world works 😒 can't stand the history of the Catholic Church. Smh

Books and truck stops with wide open scenery. Does anyone else have some odd reading aesthetic? 😎

"Running his hand over the rough wood he tried to comfort the dying base and roots. He could feel the presence of the tree's ghost, as an amputee feels a missing arm and the sudden, sharp sting of the ax it had suffered."

These are all from my last two trips to Barnes and Noble. I have whole shelves of TBR, but these are the most recent lol

Gonna need an escape from reality since my fav person is leaving for work & don't know when I'll see him again 😢 bring on the fairies...

As another review said quite appropriately. This book was a chore and a bore. I didn't feel connected to any of the characters except perhaps one that is possibly the first to die in the story. And even then I got over it fairly quickly. And there is very little magic. At all.

Think I'm going to start this today before school resumes Monday.

This book was so well written. The legends so cleverly intertwined. Although it can be confusing at times this book is well laid out and the perfect pick for any lovers of Fae legends or even Game of Thrones.

Stocked up on faerie books for the weekend. ⭐️📚❤

Loving this so far and the cover is so pretty! ☘️💫🇮🇪🔮

I guess this is a book you love or hate. I saw so many bad reviews on it but couldn't resist the cover and blurb, so glad I didn't listen to the haters 😋Interesting fantasy/historical fiction mix, with celts, fairies, nephilim, witches.

"The book of Enoch was allegedly written by the great grandfather of Noah but the Vatican repudiated that notion. They ridiculed it as a fifteenth century forgery at best, or a second century satirical work of blasphemy at worst"

Picked this up yesterday and it sounds freaking amazing! I can't wait to get into it. May have to shuffle around other books on my tbr and read it sooner..

And here is my personal TBR shelf (one of them). I need to stop requesting books.

Currently reading The Last Days of Magic. It's starting out well!!

Starting this one today!

I would love to see this story continue. I enjoyed it.

Soon to be reviewed...;) can we talk about this cover though?!

Though a small island, world powers—real and mystical—have wanted to tame Ireland‘s wild people for time immemorial. Impeccably researched, this blend of history and magic made me long to visit Ireland‘s dew soaked greens. —Ivy

I wanted to LOVE this book. Instead, I sat it down to start another. :(

Just picked this up yesterday. I heard awesome things which convinced me since I'm trying not to read a whole lot of cis straight white dudes.

The battle between the Vatican & the Fae in the 1300s. Norse myth, Welsh faeries, French witches & more. Lots to think about in terms of the Catholic Church & the truth behind the legends of the Sidhe. Read this in print; audio doesn't add anything

Excellent and creative historical fantasy. There's a lot to unpack, so I can tell it'll be on my mind for awhile, but it was easy to read in one sitting and kept me hooked.

My weekend reading. Cracked open LAST DAYS first thing this morning!

Magic+Historical fiction+Ireland setting. It premises with the idea that while this story is steeped in fantasy & magic at one time it would all be taken as fact. I find that so ethereally beautiful that I was definitely a believer in Tompkins' tale.

Just starting this tonight: myth, legend, and reimagining the world. Where did the magic go?
