Welcome to Litsy!

Fantasy novel set in Dhaka, #Bangladesh. I started it nearly 3 weeks ago but stopped. Reading about the father of 1 of the MC falling into a supernatural coma just when my father was being operated on spooked me a bit. Then RL took a turn for the worse & I stopped reading altogether. I picked it up again as I was enjoying it but I've reached the “saggy“ middle. We'll see how I fare.

I enjoyed this. The world building is exceptional. The characters are likable and well drawn. I love the idea of djinn just living and abiding by rules in our world.
The mystery and reveal were well thought out and I really love how strong Clark has made the women in the book, it is not often men can write such strong self assured and believable women.

I love this cover. The details and steampunk vibes are gorgeous 😍

I have this week off work so I am hoping to make a dent in my TBR. My library checkouts have gotten out of hand so pausing everything and trying to get things back.
I am a little over half into the tagged and I read 100 pgs of I Think They Love You yesterday then will move onto Phantom and Flamingo before tackling #CampLitsy25 2nd book and Witch King is high on my list b/c I have early access to the sequel.

#LittleFreeLibrary has teamed up with the new The Librarians: The Next Chapter TV show on TNT. On Sunday May 25, 2025, the participating LFLs will have special show swag, between 12-2pm.

I‘m super excited there are two LFL near me - a new one too, in Michigan! #MittenLitten

Is it better or worse to be in love with a djinn or a fae? Hmm

Clean the kitchen, work on the blanket (crochet), do some repotting, read, and figure out the best way for my daughter to record her proofs for her finals since the school is now closed and no public library has a whiteboard that we can use for free.

🌹 I have two that I loved & still own the copies I had as a child nearly 50 years ago. 1) Snow Treasure. 2) The Ghost of Dibble Hollow. They were great escapes from my life. I‘m still an escapist reader when it comes to fiction.

🌺 🌺 Kaz Brekker from Six of Crows, but mostly because when one of his plans is dashed, it doesn‘t take him long to come up with another. He never quits. I resonate with that.

Today‘s Mother‘s Day #audiobaking. My mum loves her homemade sandwich cookies.

I‘m only a little ways into CITY OF BRASS, but it seems promising. I have high hopes for it given how much I loved Chakraborty‘s more recent novel, THE ADVENTURES OF AMINA AL-SERAFI.

Right: what I‘d rather be doing, plus the Dodgers spring training hat. :)
