Welcome to Litsy!

SOOO MUCH FUN!
An epic quest for an illusive cure to save the children of Ku-fu which inlcudes ghosts, magic, trickery, romance, fantastic beasts and quite a bit of wine ?

My cheeky second pick for #foodandlit China, as this book is a "Novel of an ancient China that never was"
It's of course based on Chinese mythology, but there is no need to know any of it to enjoy the story (you'll feel clever if you do though ;))

Another one from my #tbr, this time featuring Master Li and Number #Ten Ox. #novemberbythenumbers

It does not get more #fullofadventure than this; ancient china, detective mystery involving a plague which can count, ancient wrongs which need to be corrected, gods, demons and all kinds of monsters told from the viewpoint of two very likable if not completely moral protagonists(master Li has a "slight" flaw in his character)

Ha, this is the easiest day for me in the #augustofpages #augustphotochallenge because almost all of my books are used. Growing up most of my books came from garage sales or thrift shops. Now that I'm supporting myself and two cats on a nonprofit salary (in a city with a ridiculously expensive housing market) I mostly rely on the library, or buy from recycled reads, powells, and half price books to feed my addiction. 😃

The first in the Master Li and Number Ten Ox series set in an ancient China that never was but should have been. Think of a fun Holmes and Watson style pastiche, except the Holmes character Master Li is a 100+ year old irascible former scholar and Ox is his large peasant offsider.
