My April pick for #12Booksof2022

The Library Of The Unwritten
pickA new favourite. A beautiful ending to a truly remarkable trilogy. I love everything it had to say about stories, libraries, readers, love, hope, and found family. The emerging polyamorous love story was so well developed. Glad to return to a diverse cast of characters, each given their due portion of the narrative. Here's hoping every series I finish wraps up this well.
Claire, Hero and Rami? The power throuple to end all throuples. Please, PLEASE don't tease me A.J.!
"perfectly average"
Pretty sure Hackwith just slammed Supernatural. ?
Research as vice: check.
Hero's sharp banter: check!
I LOVE these characters. Having trouble accepting this is the last book in the trilogy.🥲
pickAn excellent ending to the trilogy. The middle book flagged a bit but the ending is a beautiful love song to story, reading and books. The audiobook is an excellent choice but you might want an actual book to underline all the beautiful sentences about stories, and libraries, and life.
pickIn an epic conclusion to this trilogy, our heroes may have to redefine the very nature of the Library to protect them all from power hungry demons.
This was a resolution that left me breathless. What a love letter to stories and readers and libraries. Such expansion and growth! The ending was unexpected, but fitting. I‘m disappointed we don‘t get a follow through to a pretty big plot point from 2, but overall I was very satisfied. 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑
pickLoved the ending to this trilogy. But oh, it made me sad to think that was the end.

Thanks for the tag @brittanybooks
#WondrousWednesday @Eggs
1) please ignore the clutter
2) Tagged. Not necessarily most important, but the one that will stick with me longer than most of the others.
3) Tigana by Guy Gavriel Kay
What about you? @jmtrivera @ozma.of.oz @Marmie7
pickEven days after finishing it, and I savoured it slowly, I am still what the title says: lost for words that is, not a God/dess; just in case you were wondering. It's the perfect ending to the trilogy. Claire, Hero, Brevity and Rami are trying to save the Library from falling into the clutches of Hell's demons.
Full review: https://scepticalreading.com/
"Librarians were of every shape and shade. [...] The majority were humans, like Claire, but there were other spirits [...] and one librarian appeared to be some kind of shape-shifter that was currently a bespectacled orangutan.[...] he made a proper cup of tea."

Tried to remove things that might be considered spoilers.
Then again, even this is a spoiler. ???
These books. They get me every damn time. Straight into my reader feelings. Aaaaaaaah.
Does it count as #ReadingOnLocation when I'm at my Alma Mater reading while waiting for my daughter? She's doing an advanced science course for young kids in secondary school.
Not the nicest of buildings, it's a 1960s concrete monstrosity, but it has the largest/best stocked uni-library in Germany. I am not visiting the library today though; I'm not sure about the Covid R&R atm.

Nerdy cuppa and book 3 of Hell's Library.
Got up shortly after 6am, fed the felines and then watched Venus at dawn - sounds like a porn film, but I actually just lay in bed watching planet Venus and the changing colours of the sky.
Now, hopefully, a few more minutes of peace and quiet before the kids ask me how many 🍳 they may have for breakfast. 🙄
pickVery satisfying conclusion to this wonderful trilogy. Loved it.
1. Still reading the tagged, but I haven‘t read much so far this weekend. I‘ve been cross stitching instead.
2. We have been waiting for snow, was supposed to start this morning, but just started a couple of hours ago. It rained first, glad I have tomorrow off.
3. Griffin helps keep me warm, plus my throw quilt.

💜💜💜 A.J. Hackwith sent all her Patreons at the $20 and up level a signed, personalized copy of the tagged. I received mine today
pickI wasn‘t sure how this trilogy was going to end but I was incredibly pleased. Three books of fantastic world-building and character development culminated into a wrenching last stand for the Library we‘ve come to love. The themes in this trilogy are poignant and sure to leave a lasting impression.
“Even the battles you lost are worthy,” Bjorn said. “Winning doesn‘t make a warrior, trying to live does that.”
A Year of Books
I didn‘t read consistently in 2021. Some months I read a lot, some months I read only 1, some months I reread old faves and then reread them again.
So I opted to pick my overall favorite 12 new reads of 2021. #12booksof2021
Happy New Year Littens! May your 2022 be full of great reads and new adventures. 🎉
The secret is out and we‘re all in peril! In a fast-paced story that centers on the journey to liberation of The Library as a whole, Claire, Brevity, Hero, and Ramiel will find themselves at wits end testing every fiber of their resolve and their love for each other to find a home.
12-9-21: My 124th finished book of 2021! Book 3 in the Hell‘s Library trilogy. Claire, Hero, Rami and Brevity must save the library from Hell‘s most fierce general, Malphas, who now knows the true nature of the unwritten books. They will have to sacrifice everything to keep their vulnerable corner of the afterlife safe. This trilogy was a lot of fun and it ended very well. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 👍🏼📖#️⃣1️⃣2️⃣4️⃣
pickI can‘t imagine a more perfect ending and I can‘t really put into words how much I love this imaginative, incredible trilogy.

Book 2 for #NovelNovember
And I hit 36k words tonight! My story is coming along. #NaNoWriMo
#weekendreads
1. The tagged (audio), Strange Practice, & A Good Day for Chardonnay
2. Archive of the Forgotten (I re-listened to books 1 & 2 before starting the tagged)
3. Yes! 3 audiobooks (one of which estimated 2 weeks but that was 3 weeks ago) & 3 physical books
Who hasn‘t played? Consider yourself tagged! 🔖
Day 1 of #NovelNovember was busy. I got my miles in before it rained, got my hair cut, made progress on the tagged (approx 30% done), read another couple chapters of Strange Practice + got 2 more bingos for #NaNoBingo21 🎉
And despite the fact that (1) my story has taken a life of its own, (2) my story is somewhat disjointed & chaotic, and (3) I‘ve already made notes on how I want to edit it, I did hit 30000 words today 🤷🏼♀️🤣
#NaNoWriMo
Now that book 3 has been released, I‘m rereading books 1 & 2 before I dive into book 3.
Love this trilogy. I hope they release it as a box set.
