Welcome to Litsy!

@PandaPanda @booksellerofyourdiscontent @Littlewolf1 here's my first list of choices for our #Lmpbc #Round10.

I went with stuff on my TBR that was a little older , since it looks like we have a couple of newer selections already. I also DID NOT LOOK AT PAGE COUNTS, because I am the worst. 🥴

See anything good??

Really loved this book! Reminds me of The Good Fairies of New York and Tithe. Great characters, a brilliant, unique plot, plenty of fairy lore.

This week's reading plans:
-finish War for the Oaks
-Angela Carter's Book of Fairy Tales
-start Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell

Interesting not-an-intro....

War for the Oaks and Angela Carter's Book of Fairy Tales
I know next week's reading plans!

Great urban fantasy novel I've been meaning to read for a while. I read The Blue Girl by Charles de Lint when I was a teen, and fell in love with the urban fantasy genre. I learned about Emma Bull from the old Bordertown series (about runaway kids and elves living on the border between The World and Faerie where magic is unreliable). I loved her contributions to the series so I had to pick this one up. A faery war and rock and roll! So good.

Brill book

🤣Oberon is serious as a heart attack about his tea! Thor isn‘t as in love with tea as Oberon is 😂 but he definitely likes to be included in the ritual of tea time! Especially in the after (their) tea part, where they sleep in my lap while I read and drink my tea! 🥰🐶💕 “I like to party, and by party, I mean stay home and drink tea.” - my mug 🍵

These are my last 12 books to read to complete all prompts for #sfftbrchallenge! Not counting Daggerspell which I am currently reading.

I'm not sure if I'll finish all of them in the next 2 months, but I'll see how far I can get.

I read Emma Bulls wonderful urban fantasy about 13 years ago and I honestly fell in love. Pooka really delighted me in his mischievous ways! If you like urban fantasy I‘d recommend this. Set in the 80s, it‘s actually a brilliant read.

“Eddie McCandry, the Seelie Court goes to war, and needs the presence of mortal blood to bring death to its enemies.”

EeeEEEEE this started rather slow but now I'm biting my nails not halfway through. Yipes!

I didn't mean to sit down and finish it, it just happened. It's a lot of fun -- not as fresh and unique as it must have felt to read it when it first came out, but it has a lot of energy. And I loved the phouka and what he and Eddi managed to do together.

1. In fantasy, probably female authors, but I'm not sure I'd like to place a bet. Non-fic, definitely male.
2. Three, but I didn't count on the back cover.
3. I have no visual memory/imagination, so... no idea.
4. Ditto.
5. Uhh. Hilary Mantel.
6. "And."

Started War for the Oaks this evening -- this really is like the grandma of so much urban fantasy, with so many of the ingredients, including some from paranormal romance.

1🎶 “War for the Oaks,” by Emma Bull is my absolute favorite music related book, and one of my favorites in general! If you haven‘t read it I highly recommend that you do!
2🎼 Dorothy
3🎶 The Rainman Suit. They did a garage concert at a friend‘s house and it was amazing!
4🎼 “Missile,” by Dorothy. I love to blast this song on repeat and sing it at the top of my lungs!

Fun and fast read. Really liked this take on fairy genre.

Rainy Sundays are my enabler ...

This was delightful! Not perfect. The plot moved more quickly than the character development, and for most of the story I didn‘t really feel a sense of tension or dread over the danger the characters are in. But it was interesting and enjoyable, and every description of Eddi‘s band playing was a little bit epic.

We seem to be doing all our best reading in cars these days ...

The up-side of attending mandatory training for work ... getting to spend your 45-minute lunch break reading in the car!

I admit it ... I judge books by their covers. And this one is awesome. As is the story thus far.

One of my all time favorite books!
The 80s themes of music and fashion, etc sucked me in! So did the phouka aspect!
And Eddi was an awesome strong female lead!
And the introduction to this book is my all time favorite introduction to any book.

This book got on my radar when @Liberty posted about it during her recent faerie binge. The fact that so many people had recommended it to her made me curious and luckily my library had it on its shelves. I needed a change of pace and a book about a faerie war seemed to match my mood. Definitely a fun Saturday read.

When I asked the internet for faerie book recommendations, this is the one y'all mentioned the most times. So here goes! ❤️⭐️📚

Respect.

Sometimes simple is best! Especially when you consider the source!

I love music and I love reading about music, both as a function in fictional stories and as a focal point in memoir. Here are four books featuring music that I really enjoyed - the top two are fiction, the bottom two are memoir. I'm definitely noticing that my protagonists definitely skew toward women - and I'm good with that. #augustofpages #booksandmusic #bookphotochallenge #readwomen

The MC, Eddi, is a bad ass rocker chick with music and magic streaming through her veins. I've lost track of how many times I've read this book. And I can't explain why, but I've always loved pairing this book with the soundtrack from Buffy the Vampire Slayer, it just works for me! #BooksAndMusic #AugustOfPages #AugustPhotoChallenge

I read this as a teen and it has colored my views on life and literature ever since!
