Welcome to Litsy!

My reading plans backfired when the audiobook of Wicked Beauty wasn‘t jiving with me. So I‘m switching to starting Fourth Wing on Spotify… and continuing Wicked Beauty and The Quiet Tenant in tangible form.

Re-read before Onyx Storm!
I forgot just how good it was. Liam 😭🥹

I love books about dragons and dragon riders. This book felt a little different in that most of the dragons were mean jerks and their riders not much better. In this world, dragon riders are revered but to be one means a painful death will happen probably sooner than later. These dragons can have many riders over their lifetimes.

I liked the story of Anahrod. I think my favorite parts were when she was in the jungle. That was fascinating.

My kindle didn‘t fit on its stand with this case and pop socket, so I‘m immortalizing my stickers here 🥲 Finally reading Iron Flame right before book 3 comes out! Also trying to start a bookstagram since TikTok is questionable. Find me at cewilf_reads 🥰

“The truth rarely needs efforts”

I thought this book had a really great storyline! Can‘t wait to delve into Iron Flame!

Many might not know his name, but may have heard his voice! Simon Vance has narrated many an #audiobook from the Temeraire series to the Aubrey/Maturin series to the Dune series! His voice is grand in style, comfortable in both male and female voices and dialects. When I listen to his stories I‘m transported inside the narrative thanks to his voice.

His in-house recording studio burned along with his house in the Eaton, California fires. ⬇️

❤️ Loved it , again the spicy bits aren‘t for me (great thing about audible you can FF a little 😂) and frustrating with violets hypocritical reactions to Xaden secret keeping BUT could not put this down, especially after the interrogation room!! Brilliant!

Have my Preorder in for Onyx Storm

Sadly, I enjoyed this one even less than the first.

As a romance reader, I was super disappointed in the spicy scenes. It felt like zero character development happened in those scenes. If the spice doesn't serve the plot and doesn't give us insight into the character I just kinda feel it's unnecessary. But now I probably just sound like a prude.

Not my thing and I wouldn't have read it but I got called in for the midnight release party at the bookshop and didn't want to be out of the loop. Listened to the audio on 2.5x speed.

I'm here for Andarna though.
