No one can quite torture her characters (especially Fitz) - and her readers - quite like Robin Hobb. As usual, Fitz is full of plans but, alas, life intervenes. But he's back with the Fool and searching for little Bee.

pickThis was pure agony in the most wonderful way. Fitz spends most of this book feeling miserable and frustrated. So consequently, so did I. Thanks Robin Hobb ๐
Come on, Fitz! Go get em already!
Next up is the last book in the series. I‘m not sure I‘m emotionally strong enough to handle whatever is coming. But I can‘t look away. So onward we go!
โI tried not to be surly and resentful. It was difficult.โ
๐คฆโโ๏ธ Oh, Fitz. How I love you. Even though you‘re such a miserable bastard ๐

I‘ve seen several other people chime in on these books already, and I have to add myself to the fandom. I love Robin Hobb! I haven‘t read the whole series. I‘d guess I‘m about halfway through them. And I obviously like picking up used copies, as most of them don‘t match. But yeah, if epic fantasy is your thing, you can‘t go wrong with Robin Hobb!
I've had a traumatic couple of months and am having issues with sleep. A shoutout to characters and worlds that reading opens to us. When I am having trouble sleeping, this is one of my go-to favorites. Chapter 8 and 9 are everything!
For my birthday I saw a Endgame, read the tagged book, and went to a cute new store in the mall which was like a mini IKEA with an emphasis on stationary - except Danish, obviously. Starting my third decade off right. โบ๏ธ
Me, a reader: Yes, I can finally concentrate on The Eyre Affair, a Book I have owned for years and have been looking forward to!
My library holds: Hold my butterbeer.

This is the only thing that came to mind. ๐
This is me anxiously waiting for Fitz to find out that Bee has been kidnapped. Robin is really dragging the suspense out. Seriously, go get her already dude!
Happy Sunday, Littens!
pickOh, Fitz. Oh, Fool. Oh, Bee. ๐
I don‘t have words, I just need to read the third book as soon as possible!
If I was #onmyown all day, I know what I would do - READ THIS BOOK! But since my bf is home, and there‘s no sport in tv, I have to be a bit sociable. At least I got 100 pages into it today ๐

I'm one book away from my goal of 180 which I should finish this week. I have to say audiobooks have become my number one way to read. I still have a physical book going at the same time but I love being able to listen and multitask. #goodreadsyearinreview
pickI am perhaps too deeply attached to these characters, I freely admit. The more I read of this world, the more I want to read of it. I'm glad I'm not quite done with it yet and well be grieved when I am.
โญโญโญโญโญ
so-soMuch the same as the previous one.
1. Sooo many. Church dinner tonight. Bday party tmrw am. Avengers tmrw afternoon. Dinner w in-laws tmrw night. Plus several Sunday things. Whhhhyyy?? ๐คช
2. ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฉ
3. Just one! The tagged one, which was 800+ pages long. Now working on the equally long sequel. ๐
4. I started a new fitness class, and I‘m sore but feeling strong! Also I‘ve lost 10 lbs in the last month. ๐๐ช๐ป
5. I tag everyone who hasn‘t participated yet!
#friyayintro
I started a new workout class that goes from 5-6am. Waking up is ROUGH, but then I got home and showered and got to read a chapter while I ate breakfast, since the kids weren‘t up yet! (I ate most of my cantaloupe while the omelet was cooking bc working out early makes me so hungry!)
Looking forward to getting to this trilogy from The Realm of the Elderlings series! The Fool is one of if not the most intriguing characters ๐
#ReadingResolutions @Jess7 #photochallenge
Hoping that by alternating the library audiobook and my own pocketbook, I can get through all 752 pages by the weekend! Because then I have the last book in the final trilogy waiting for me! Ahhhhh. So weird to come near the end of a series I‘ve been reading for 6-7 years!! #fitzandthefool
I only have about 60 hours of library audiobooks to finish in the next 8 days. Nbd. ๐ #bookwormproblems
1. ๐ด๐ท๐ท๐ท๐ท๐๐ฒ Hayfever acting up this week.
2. Dwalia from the Fitz and the Fool trilogy
3. Over when changing the roll myself, but no problem if it's under.
4. Nope

pickThis book is obviously a pick, but my poor feelings!!! I need to read the third one ASAP... I have to wait for it but I'm dying to know what would happen!
pickLove this world. Love Robin Hobb. Love Fitz. Great continuation of the story.
And moving right along to book 2 ๐
Robin Hobb is one of my favourite winter reading, but my poor feelings!
#novemberbynumbers #13
I have this weird thing. I cannot stop before, during or after chapter 13. I just can't. It's deemed unlucky by some and even though I'm not an overly superstitious person this one gets me. (Probably why I love Discworld so much, no chapters!)
@Tiffy_Reads @JoeStalksBeck
I've been putting this one off bc I wasn't sure I was ready for the emotional commitment. Robin Hobb's books can be so intense! But here goes nothing! 7 pages in, 762 to go.
Another Day wasn't the only book I got, I bought all of these for about $15.25! Gotta love Ollie's Outlet ๐
pickAll I can say is I'm glad I have the last book because what a cliffhanger! So many emotions and ideas swirling around in my head from this one. Robin Hobb really knows how to write, she's a world apart from anything else I have ever read.
5/5. Her works are a must read for all fantasy fans.
So next on my list of books to finish is Fool's Quest by Robin Hobb. 80% of the way through. Part of me is really reluctant to finish it though, as then I'll be on the last book, Assassin's Fate. I've already cried my eyes out several times at this and Fool's Assassin. I also don't want the story to end ๐ข.

Fool's Quest โค
This book like Fool's Assassin before it has broken my heart so many times. Part of me is dreading reading Assassin's Fate.
If you're thinking of reading these books, do it. You will fall in love with Fitz and The Fool. Never have 2 characters seemed as real to me as those two. Everytime I read about The Fool he seems so real as to be sat opposite me when I lift my eyes from the page.

pick๐๐๐๐1/2
As slow as the first book was this one ripped along at a much better pace and I enjoyed it a lot more now that all the setup was out of the way. I love love loved the ballroom/party scene - I never thought or expected that to happen. Old characters making an appearance was amazing, with one in particular wrenching my heart all over again. A great read and I can't wait to be destroyed by book 3. #romansty #osrbc
pickRobin Hobb is so damned good at middle books. This one brings a ton of secrets to light, ups the tension by thrusting everyone into new roles, and ends in a hell of a place. I love it to death and I dunno how I'm gonna resist ASSASSIN'S FATE until I've cleared some other reading obligations from my plate.
Fitz is one of my favourite literary characters because he lies to himself so often and so ardently. It's fascinating. #maybookflowers #lies
I've finally started my FOOL'S QUEST reread, and it's exactly what I feel like this late in the #Readathon.
pickYet another Robin Hobb book that has made me cry - she's so good at making you empathise with Fitz, and when something actually genuinely good happens to him, it tips me into a flood of tears for him. An awful lot of the bad stuff that happens is of his own making, so it's wonderful to have the positive payoff every now & then. This installment of his & Fool's journey together is much more gripping than the first installment of this trilogy.
One of the great things about moving to the Puget Sound area has been having Robin Hobb as a local author. I think I've been to every book launch she's had since I moved here, and I'm well on my way to having all of my older books signed by her as well! #signedsundays
I am currently reading this book. I love any books featuring Fitz and the Fool.
