Welcome to Litsy!

Today I‘m running on caffeine and Christmas spirit. It‘s been a Monday. But, hey, Christmas is a week away and I‘m indulging in all of the Christmas reads and movies. We‘re talking about some of my favorite Christmas movies over on the blog today. So check that out. While you‘re doing that, I‘m going to get more tea because I have a lot of end of year posts to schedule and very little time to do it in. Wish me luck.

I‘ve got a short review for a short story today.

I really enjoyed my time reading Dawnshard. I loved the idea of a ghost ship full of secrets, and that premise was executed so well. I loved the new characters that were introduced, and I hope they continue to make an appearance in The Stormlight Archives.

I‘m excited to have another Cosmere book checked off my list.

I don't know how I didn't read this when I read Rhythm of War, but here we are. Not much to say here: if you like Sanderson normally, this is more of the same and adds some color to a couple things in RoW. This one gives us some insight into larger cosmere happenings through the viewpoint of interlude characters.

As always,

I enjoyed this “novella” (its almost 300 pages) of the Stormlight Archive series and am excited to continue the last book (currently) out in the series. This is an offshoot of the main story with side characters, but I can see it having some major impact going forward. It does not really work as a standalone, you really need to be familiar with the world before reading this one. 4.5⭐️
My first #bookspinbingo!

Literally every time I start a Stormlight book, I just have to keep reading until I finish it. This was SO GOOD! We finally get some insight into some of the bigger areas of intrigue within both Roshar and the Cosmere, and with a disabled protagonist. Read this in a day and enjoyed it way more than the Lift one. This just is one of my fave series.

I started DAWNSHARD last night and hit 40% over breakfast. I like Sanderson‘s behemoths more than his shorter work, but I‘m enjoying this one so far.

I stayed up late to finish this Brandon Sanderson novella. It also gave me a bingo for March #BookSpinBingo! 🤩

On Saturday I finished a book and then I had a really hard time deciding what to read next. And this is a common problem. The last couple days, everyone has been posting their February Bookspin results and their March lists. I've never done Bookspin and so thought I would try it in March and see if it helps me pick the next book to read. And it looks fun! I'll probably do the bingo too. #BookSpin #BookSpinBingo

Cozy reading day! Finishing up this novella before I get into Sanderson‘s newest behemoth with my hubby. I was hoping this peppermint cocoa would distract my head from my caffeine withdrawals, but no dice. It can definitely tell the difference. 🤕

Impromptu evening beach read after my plans of a quiet evening in are disrupted by the neighbour‘s persistent car alarm. Even went for a swim first

Oh, Sanderson, i love the characters you write.

This was a fun read while waiting for my copy of Rhythm of War to arrive

As a #Cosmere nut this novella was just up my alley! The implications of Sanderson‘s universe are huge! This novella delves into living with disabilities like very few novels I have read do, let alone fantasy. The Lopen gets a great character study here as well. Can‘t wait for #StormlightArchive 4

Finally making time for this novella!

I'll read a bit tonight and a bit tomorrow and I'll be ready for Rhythm of War next week. 🥰
