Welcome to Litsy!

I wanted to like this more than I did. Some grammatical errors (it‘s toe the line, not tow the line) and a couple of misattributed quotes bothered me, but overall the world building is pretty good. I might continue the series eventually, or I might not. I‘m not dying to do so, and I have other things calling my name at the moment. Meh.

Danny says I‘ve spent too much time reading today. This is his next napping spot, thank you very much.

@julesG I guess it‘s just that kind of day.

Devil‘s Isle series by Chloe Neill

While I mostly liked her Chicagoland Vampire series (more the earlier books than the later ones), I really loved Devil‘s Isle. The world, the magic system, and of course, the MC, Claire Connolly.

There are 4 books now. And what #20series20days is showing me is that I am going to have to order some books! 😂

#gettingtoknowyou favorite edition:
👾 color - blues
👾 season - fall
👾 genre - urban fantasy
👾 hobby - reading, of course, and all things bookish, but also jigsaw puzzles, writing, taking art & language classes, coin collecting, water sports
👾 snack - TJ‘s dark chocolate covered pretzels
👾 drink - gin & tonic
👾 bookish item - all of them! But I‘ll say magnetic bookmarks & enamel pins
👾 tagging everyone who wants to play! 😀

Books are seriously getting me through this week. My jaw and head have been hurting since last night, and then the news this morning. As a survivor of suicide loss, I don't do so well with hearing news of more suicides. But it's definitely something we have to talk about along with mental illness in general.

I listened to the audiobook, and wish I'd gotten it from the library instead of Audible. This is a solid 3🌟 urban fantasy set in New Orleans after a war between humans and magical creatures beyond the veil. Our heroine is Claire, and she's just learning she has magic (which is a crime now). She gets embroiled in saving the world. See? It's a bit formulaic.

Listening to a new series from the author of one of my favorite vampire series. So far, I like it. But why do so many female characters have green eyes? It's way more than the true genetic 20%. #greeneyedgirl #listenanddochores

When the world disappears and you're left with your kindle.... Heaven!
