Welcome to Litsy!

A weak pick. I liked the mystery and loved the Provence setting, but had some trouble getting used to the snobbish main character. Still, I enjoyed this novel enough that I plan to continue the series.

I thoroughly enjoyed this one — steam trains, dwarves, terrorism, all handled deftly by Moist von Lipwig. Great characters, including the train Iron Girder.

Bloodlands was my top read and I just bought Snyder‘s On Freedom which I‘m excited to dive into.

Callaway has a great way of describing the Greenbrier and its landscape—I‘ve never been there, yet I could envision everything. Dorothy Draper and her talent comes to life in this novel. I loved the language, the writing style, and the story. Won‘t say more until the #SundayBuddyRead discussion! #52BookClub25 #300To400PagesLong

I liked the interwoven stories and the parallels between the Kindertransport children of WWII and the refugee children separated from their parents at the US border in more recent times. It makes me very sad to think of these situations that are still affecting many refugees today.

I loved this book the first time I'd read it a number of years ago and the reading experience was just as great the second time around. I enjoyed reading along with #HashtagBrigade even though I fell behind. @BarkingMadRun

I also enjoyed the 2018 TV series based on the book.

I really enjoyed this fantasy novel about a dragon slayer and his bard. It's different in that it is set in modern-day Southwestern Ontario and is an alternate history novel with political and historical events explained in the context of fossil-fuel consuming dragons.

I can see why this is on the shortlist, but it wasn't particularly outstanding for me.
