Welcome to Litsy!

Thanks for the tag @inthegreensandblues

My original books that I had since release date are MIA (I think I loaned them out but have no memory...) and my replacements have arrived!

I have reread this series so many times that my copies are pretty worn out, so when I saw THE ENTIRE series at my local thrift store for $.99 each, I couldn‘t pass it up!! They weren‘t all together so it was a fun little scavenger hunt 😄 Now I can spread the joy of this series to some friends by letting them borrow my older copies without worrying if I get them back or not! 🤪😂
I also can‘t believe how good the condition of these copies were!!

#BFCr3 book 1/6 is done, and with it I finished this series! Fluffy, predictable high fantasy. Good for my mood the last couple days. I spectacularly failed at the no caffeine/sugar goal yesterday because I was having a rough go at it. Better today...still have a headache though. 😥 I'm sure it'll go away soon though! #HSreadathon

Drinking Klarbrunn and reading the fluffy second volume of The Belgariad while I try not to die from sugar and caffeine withdrawal. #BFCr3, day 1, here we go! #HSreadathon @Megabooks @Tineke @tjwill @cewilf @cobwebmoth @KathyWheeler @TheEllieMo @guinsgirlreads @Emilymdxn

This book has me laughing out loud. I forgot how much I enjoy the Eddingses and their world. It's been too long! 😂😂😂

Borderline pick the nostalgia of a childhood favorite has worn off under some of the misogynistic representations of some female characters.

So happy this childhood favorite has held up. Epic fantasy novel of gods, men and sorcerers on a journey (of course) where a battles will be fought to save the world from evil. And for a book from the 80s there's a great strong female protagonist - Polgara, one of my favorite characters ever.

3 books in one volume and I'm on to volume 2

❤️ A bit of a trip in the wayback machine, but still my favorites: Belgarion and Ce‘Nedra
❤️ Freesia
❤️Chocolate. The darker, the better

Went shopping at a new used bookstore near me for a swap and of course found nothing for the swap but was taken back to my (ahem dating myself) childhood with these two volumes. I loved this fantasy series, there are actually 10 books in all, only 5 here so I'll have to search out the other 5. I hope it even a little bit lives up to my memories.

It sucks to be the chosen one. No, honestly! It‘s a common trope particularly in fantasy. Text above from https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ItSucksToBeTheChosenOne
Garion from The Belgariad is one of my favourite characters who regularly bemoans #whydidithavetobeme

Super loving rereading this gem! My wonderful aunt gifted the series to me as a teen and each book had a profound impact on me. Reading through the series again is making me incredibly nostalgic! 💕 #davideddings #belgariad #queenofscorcery #summerreading

1️⃣ - The Belgariad/Mallorean
2️⃣ - Macaroni with hot milk and butter
3️⃣ - The Joe Schmoe Show - You‘ll probably have to find it on DVD, but it‘s awesome - and Kyle XY

Are you a fan of the Lord of the rings. Love Cheering for a protagonist from a quiet village, then this is your book. Had some fantasy cravings and it was fulfilled by this book.

I've always thought The Belgariad would make a great TV series. David Eddings was very vocal about his not wanting his books to be made into movies/on screen, which I respect, but was always a bit bummed by it as it would be great to see some of my favourite books on screen.

#maybookflowers #war : when I think of war in books, I think back to my dad reading me the Belgariad when I was a little kid. This was post-Hobbit & pre-Harry Potter in my fantasy education, and it remains one of my favorite series ever.
Also, recently reread via audible: very hard to do when the guy pronounces all the made up words differently. It was a struggle.

A few of my go to #happyreads #marchintoreading

Of course I've read many of David Eddings books!

These were the first books that really got me into fantasy. For a great sidekick for #booktober day 13 I always loved Silk.

11 year old was up half the night reading this under the covers! I'll count that as a success at indoctrinating her with one of my old favourite fantasy novels ;-)

Loved this series. It was an easy read, full of good humour and high adventure.
