Welcome to Litsy!

This one was long.A lot of it actually put me to sleep.The exciting parts could have been done in 300 pages. It is not one of my favorite series, but it was a chunkster challenge met.It fulfilled #SeriesLove @Andrew65 being #2 in series Also,#ISpyBingoJanuary with Waves, persons back kind of, and Fog or Mist, perhaps even and Oval shape with the Satelite Dish? Which is confusing as to why that is on the cover is beyond me. @Clwojick @TheSpineView

I just finished another Mini Chunkster. This one was 745 pages. Almost made the super chunkster, although there were some parts of this book that could have been taken out. My review will be posted later with other challenges dealing with this book. #ChunksterChallenge @Amiable

The book differs quite a bit from the TV show. Which didn't surprise me. The basic plot was the same. If I hadn't seen the show, the ending would have been a total surprise. The fight scenes are very in depth. I felt like those could have used some editing. I enjoyed it but I'm unlikely to read more of the series. But I rarely read full series so it's not a reflection of the story. (Fireside reading courtesy of YouTube tv.)

I can't lie, I'm thinking about coloring this page.

Got addicted to the show on Netflix. Found out the hard way there was only 2 seasons. Legit had a meltdown on my treadmill when it didn't play a next episode. I bought the book for my sister but started reading it myself. I fear I'm now lost in the 4 lands. I'm sad about the show but looking forward to the books. It seems like there are a lot of them in series. I will see how they differ.

A book, homemade hot cocoa, and several blankets for this chilly evening! 📚🍫❄

Continuing on with a couple of comfort re-reads 💜📚

#wondrouswednesday @Eggs

1. Yes! Redamancy. It means "a love returned in full"

2. Depends on the series. If the writer can keep the story going in an imaginative and unique way, I'll still be reading when book 697 releases ? My favorite series is Shannara by Terry Brooks

3. Yep! I write Christian fantasy and part one of my first book releases Dec 12th!

4. Happy Wondrous Wednesday!

By the age of 16 l was already a strong reader. Up to that point l had mostly read mysteries (which is still one of my favourite genre), but l don't know why, around that time, l started longing for stories with magic and adventures.
Elfstones of Shannara was my first fantasy ever. Soon after l discovered David Gemmell and then Tolkien.

Our first comiccon and a fun time with my girls! I'm so glad we were able to experience this! We got to see Terry Brooks, unbelievable❤️

So amazing book, with an amazing story, with amazing charecters. My favorite part was the chapter from the King of the Silver River. It is an amazing book. And the review is on My blog

Having My Lunch breack with Coffee and a book. Amazing

"... E era como se a morte tivesse saído das profundezas da terra para velar pelos elfos" amazing

"É o demónio tinha ódio. Odiava com uma intensidade que roçava a loucura. Centenas de anos de aprisionamento dentro da fortaleza negra que jazia além da muralha da proibição haviam dado ao seu ódio tempo mais que suficiente para supurar e crescer. Era tudo para ele. Dava-lhe poder, e ele usaria esse poder para esmagar as criaturas que lhe haviam causado tanta agonia"

Halfway through this book. I really like it. It feels like it is taking me forever though. My new work schedule has been crazy, but hopefully I get this other more desirable job I am interviewing for on Friday.

I feel like this describes me accurately. My fiancee hates watching movies with me that were books first. Lol

The Future of Books - Print vs. Digital

I saw this on Pinterest while scrolling through my feed. I certainly found it interesting. I love physical books, to me nothing can replace the feel of the pages and the smell of books. But I find myself getting more ebooks because it is nice not having my purse weighed down.

I went to my local library finally! I'm glad things have settled down enough since the move that I can start going to the library. I can't wait to get through these. :-) (Clearly the top four are library books. Lol)

This book made me fall in love with fantasy. I read it 2 or 3 times. The rich story line and vivid imagery inspired me to be a writer; my all time favorite fantasy novel.

Hurt gives way to bitterness, bitterness to anger. Travel too far that road and the way is lost.

"Your home is wherever you make it. Your people are whomever you wish them to be. But your responsibilities are sometimes given you without choice, without consent...You cannot run away from it; you cannot hide from it. You certainly cannot change it."

Elves & humans, demons & druids, magic, adventure, & a battle to save the world--everything a fantasy lover needs, & if it's not quite as captivating as Middle-Earth or Pern, it was enough to keep me turning pages. Will & Amberle's journey is exciting, but for me it was Ander, reluctant elf prince, who was the true heart of this story. I don't long to visit this world as I do Narnia or Lyra's Oxford, but it's not a bad place to spend some time.

Original order goes like this:
1. Sword of Shannara
2. Elfstones of Shannara
3. Wishsong of Shannara
I want to like The Sword of Shannara, but while there's clearly potential there, reading it was a bit...boring. 😴 So I've moved on the Elfstones of Shannara--which is great! Next I'll read Wishsong, then go back and finish Sword of Shannara as a prequel.

#septphotochallenge today is #madeintoamovie and even though I've only read two or three of these amazing books, I was pretty skeptical when it was announced last year that MTV was making a show out of them. I'm still on the fence about the show after watching the whole season. #somethingforsept #somethingforseptember

Help! Which book should I read next? I'm still working my way through Shannara, but I need help picking my secondary book (because my ability to focus is below zero right now). Thoughts?

My sister surprised me with a new book 😊

I have added books so why do I have 0 book adds?

Thanks for sharing your literary life with me! I love talking about books with you. 😊

Sometimes I forget how slow I can be at reading. Some books I whip through others I can't. Which confuses me on this one because I'm loving it, but I'm barely 100 pages in?! Reading is odd sometimes.

Thunder storms and fantasy books. What could be better? (#PotatoCat is not always my biggest fan)

Shh I did things a little backwards and watched the show before picking this one up. But I'm really excited to finally read it (so much so that I was reading in a crowded movie theater during the trailers 😂)

I actually really liked the story and the writing, but I found myself more interested in some of the minor characters than the main characters. I was also a little disappointed with how the book ended and thought things were wrapped up too quickly.

Nothing better than reading some fantasy in bed with a kitty 😄

Currently reading: a book which so carefully mimics Lord of the Rings so as to be kinda funny, with what appears to be a member of Hanson on the cover. (It's cheesy fun. I'm enjoying it.)
