Welcome to Litsy!

I love Greenglass House books. The only one I haven‘t adored was Bluecrowne, and after reading the tagged I need to revisit it because I don‘t think I did it justice first time through. This book pulls in so much from all the previous books, I‘m just impressed with Milford‘s ability to keep so many threads in play. I already want to reread this one to see what I missed the first time. Also, the illustrations are gorgeous!

She had a three-headed donkey, and its name was Fred-Morty-Tucker, same as my brothers, who, come to think of it, are not unlike a three-headed jackass themselves.

Today‘s #bookhaul - I went into a bookstore and only bought the one book I went in to buy! This has only happened a handful of tines in my entire life.

To celebrate, I went to Baskin-Robbins (fastest in-and-out ever) to get a quart of ice cream for the kiddo and a cone for myself. I forgot the February flavor of the month is one of my favorites, so I‘m happy to have gotten it in before it left.

Did grocery pickup, too, but that wasn‘t as fun.

Kate Milford‘s Nagspeake/Green Glass House series has been one of my favorites for the last few years. She has built a vibrant, mysterious, and wholly unique world in which her characters move in seemingly disconnected paths and times. This one is full of the backstories mentioned in some of the earlier books. A little dense, but good just the same. More at https://itsallaboutthebook.org/
