Welcome to Litsy!

Whew! @Chrissyreadit challenged me to identify my top 10 (ish) favorite sci fi / fantasy novels. Impossible. This list is my current mood, responsive. But I had to exclude books that are definitely also favorites in this genre! Like Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell or City of Saints & Madmen or LOTR.. or others!!! 😁😁 But here are 13, anyway...

Books that are first in series are representative of the series (avail so far). 😁🌌🔮💜

You wanna play?

I love bits of this book. The parts that follow Sara and Kiernan, Taliesin, Pudjwik, and the house are amazing. I was frustrated by the government plot and much less invested in the other characters

A cross post from instagram today - but the challenge works here too with what I had to say about it sooo... ?‍♂️

"This is an author I love to read outdoors in the summer. There's just something about Charles de Lint and outdoor reading that always feels so right."

#toptenofthedecade
I included books I *read* (not necessarily published) in the past decade.

Of course this was ridiculously challenging, but I used my “favorites” shelf in Goodreads 😊. I also added 2 runners-up, at the end. And I cant‘t pick a single favorite, but I sure did esp love the tagged book. ... and all the others shown here. 😂

Years 1st read, in order: 2015, 2014, 2015, 2018, 2019, 2013, 2016, 2019, 2019, 2019, 2010, 2015

I missed the official full moon, but if werewolf rules apply then tonight will still work. 🐺
1. I have tried to be closer and more understanding with my family. My wife (@cobwebmoth) and kids are really awesome and supportive people. They deserve me at my best.
2. Self doubt and a general feeling of unworthiness.

1. An hour from everywhere Ohio.
2. I had never read a Stephen King novel until last year. The Dark Tower series has me hooked.
3. "Stacks and stacks of racks on racks."
4. Couch

It has Vikings, wizards, magic houses, time travel, bikers, ancient curses, indigenous American Elves, a dark army of evil creatures, and a legendary traveling bard from King Arthur's court.

Used bookstore Charles de Lint haul. I got all 3 for 9 bucks! 👌

de Lint is an excellent urban fantasy writer and I've slowly been trying to get all his books. Finding these 3 that I don't already have made this humpday a joy! 🤘🤘

I just finished listening (primarily) to Moonheart. I loved it so much. It is involved and profound and fascinating and nostalgic and enrapturing and was just the perfect thing for me just right now. I cannot believe there's no movie or tv series of this book for me to watch now. What do I read next?! This is one of those books where you feel like nothing else is going to satisfy you that same way for a while.

@Pogue on your recommendation, I started listening to this on audio. I'm about 45 minutes in and I've already bought the book. 😳 Thanks for the recommendation. It already feels like it's going to be an amazing read!!

A couple of my shelves. I'm a terrible housekeeper. 😅🤓😇

While I absolutely love Nova Scotia, I also love and miss Ottawa wholeheartedly. We lived there for 6 years, and so many things we love are still there (friends, family, amazing food). I used to live in the neighbourhood this book takes place in, and actually read this the first time while I lived there. #setinabelovedlocation #17booklove @jess.how
