Welcome to Litsy!

Igor wasn‘t quite ready to pose this morning. 🥱

I loved some parts of this third in the series, but it felt more scattered than the previous books as it bounced between characters. I‘m enjoying both the dragons and the handlers maturing, and the bits of the past they glimpse.

Book 4, the final in this series, is in my near future.

Rainier cherries are not only the sweetest and juiciest cherries - they're the prettiest too! 😍🍒💛 I almost burst into tears when I saw them at the grocery store yesterday, I was so happy! Cherries are my favorite fruit! Having a bowl of them while reading about dragons before heading in to work today! Happy Sunday, littens! 💕📚

Jumping back into this series this weekend! I missed the dragons and the Rain Wilds! Enjoying a plate of snacks which include an apple cider donut and a croissant stuffed with sweet cream cheese! 😋🥐🥓🧀

Excellent as usual. The City of Dragons is found in ruins. But, will it awake for the dragons? Meanwhile, once they learn of it, the traders will hurry to pull it to pieces to sell off everything. How to stop them...

Hobb is so very good at mixing plot lines and creating such complex characters.

Robin Hobb writes characters so well that I can sincerely say that I hope Hest gets eaten by a dragon in the next book. Preferably by Relpda, Sedric‘s dragon. That would do nicely, thanks 😆

Excited to begin

Completed and on to the next book 📖😋

Half way through 🙌🏽😋📖

I‘m flying through the Hobb books at the moment, and I‘m really enjoying myself. Even though this third book in the series wasn‘t as strong as the first two (a bit repetitive and superficial, and it felt like a filler), I really like how Hobb adds layers and layers to her stories even if they “only” are fantasy novels.

I struggled with the end of this book, the 3rd in the 4 books that make up Hobb's Rain Wild Chronicles. Part of that struggle is a result of the complexity of the series. There are so many characters at this point, but to switch POV every 5 or so paragraphs felt too hectic. I also was too busy (Thanksgiving) to give it any amount of time, and I am always happier when I can spend significant time with my characters. Still I enjoyed the beginning.👍

Our Thanksgiving Feast (all vegan). Dinner eaten, food put away, dishes done, seconds consumed. Hubby's watching football, and I'm about to settle in with my book. We are grateful for everything.
I hope all the Littens have had a wonderful day too, no matter what you all were doing.

A perfect evening. I'm mindlessly knitting stockinette while hanging with the girly and reading about dragons. 🐲
Now if only someone would start the Thanksgiving prep!

Tagged by @BarbaraTheBibliophage to do a grey book stack! Found this quite hard, thought I would have more than this. Only one book on this pile I haven't read and that's the Terry Brooks. Love his stuff, just never got round to reading this mammoth as it's 3 books in one volume!

I tag and challenge @mythicreads @ScorpioBookDreams @TrishB and @Smangela to make a yellow bookstack! 😄

I'm a bit over this series, but I'll still read the final book. The writing is just so repetitive and people are just too black or white evil/good that it isn't very interesting to read about them...

First part of my trip to Brussels for the weekend: the almost 2h train to the airport. I should be able to finish this book in that time!

Finally!

When I do my nails I can only read on my Kindle, or else I'm sure to mess up the nail polish. Fortunately, this book FINALLY got interesting. It sure took a while. I'm a bit fed up with all the relationship tenderness in these books. Just skip that and get back to the story.

Finally starting book three! I'm guessing the repetitions of past events won't bother me so much this time 😺

I really liked this one. The story expands beyond just the dragons and their keepers, but still remains focused on the relationships between these characters. I'm looking forward to reading the last book in this series soon.

I loved this third book of the Rainwild Chronicles. Book two had a bit of a slow patch but this one really made up for that! I finished it in about three hours and I now can't wait to get home and read the last book of the series. Hobb always amazes me with her wide variety of characters and it seems like we have another strong female character to look forward to in book four! 🌟🌟🌟 🌟

Train, tea and a book. On my way to mom's birthday while finishing the first book of my #LitsyA-Z list by book titels: C. I might even actually finish this challenge by 2018 😀

When you have to go out and be social but your book and chocolate are begging you to stay home..... I'll come back for you!!! 😢

Just finished setting up the christmas tree. Which is quite a trial ever year as we have no car and transport it by bike, we get a lot of funny looks when we do that 😂 And I am slightly allergic to christmas trees and after decorating my hands are all itchy and red. But I love christmas so much that I look forward to this whole ordeal every year 😊 Time to curl up on the couch with a fresh Robin Hobb book 🎄

Nearly done with this one. Loving the series with its social commentary under the guise of dragons, Elderlings, and those touched by the Rain Wilds. Rich v poor, marked v "normal," and the morality of wizardwood.
