The Power Broker: Robert Moses and the Fall of New York | Robert A. Caro, R. A. Caro

Holy #chunkster, Batman! This was a gift today from a very kind coworker. It sounds fascinating but I think it will take some planning to actually read. 😂

Suet624 Yikes! Does this coworker like you? 2w

Clare-Dragonfly @Suet624 😂 2w

fredthemoose It‘s really, really good! But a bold gift if you don‘t know that person wants to spend that kind of time on that kind of book… 2w

Nebklvr Wow. That is a chunky book! 2w

Clare-Dragonfly @fredthemoose He had been talking it up to me and I did say I‘d like to read it. I may, however, get an ebook version! 2w

fredthemoose @Clare-Dragonfly well, it sounds like he was trying to be thoughtful… 😀 It really is good! I got through it on audio. 2w

Ship of Magic (The Liveship Traders, Book 1) | Robin Hobb

so-so

I struggle with this one.

I didn't connect with any of the characters, in fact I kept thinking that if it weren't for Kyle (who I hate, by the way) this whole story wouldn't exist.

The slow pace, character driven plot just didn't grab me like the Farseer Trilogy did.

However, I understand that Hobb develops her stories over time, and I can see a lot of potential in this trilogy and its importance in the overall Elderling series.

Enchanted_Bibliophile @PuddleJumper I know I'm way behind on the #RealmOfElderlings timetable, but I'm going to try my best to catch up before the end of the year. 2mo

Ruthiella Kyle is despicable. But there is good character development in this trilogy, especially with Malta IMO. 2mo

PuddleJumper Kyle is the absolute worst. He is a catalyst for the other characters and plot but yeah, it's hard sometimes when nearly everything goes back to one character. I've totally lost the plot with where we are! I think this book was for Sep/Oct and last one is Nov/Dec. I'm very behind as well 2mo

Enchanted_Bibliophile @Ruthiella I can't wait to see that, she really got the spoiled little teenage brat going strong in this one. 2mo

Enchanted_Bibliophile @PuddleJumper Glad to hear it's not just me 😊 2mo

pick

It's taken me about a year to get through this. Though not as fast paced as the previous two it had a resonance and a reflective nature that I enjoyed after I had settled into the pace of it.
Highly recommend and a fitting end to this amazing trilogy.

Hi Everyone! I have missed you all and all the news about what you are reading. At the same time it's a lot. Along with everything else. So I had to check out for awhile. But I just passed my 9th #Litsyversary a few weeks back so I just wanted to check in and see how things were going. I hope you all have been well and gotten some good reading done! This is the #chunkster I am currently working on. Well worth the length!

Librarybelle Good to see you! 3mo
