Welcome to Litsy!

It‘s #jolabokaflod Day! Thank you so much Mikala. Book is perfect and the Cadbury‘s 😋 Such a nice idea. Thanks for organizing Chelle. To both, may sweet content be yours.

This book was all over the place. I picked it up because it seemed like it was going to be based on Arthurian legend. Which it kind of... was, but not well done. The writing was bad with lots of telling not showing, and as a handful of obvious typos (as far as I'm aware "plashed" isn't a word). The author also interjected several speeches that seemed like the book was actively trying to convert Christians to Wiccian, using arguments targeted...

I am posting one book per day from my to-be-read collection. No description and providing no reason for wanting to read it, I just do. Some will be old, some will be new - don‘t judge me I have a lot of books.
Join the fun if you want. This is day 255.

Brought Dad lunch today and got a book report. Braving It - interesting but why would you take your daughter to a place like that and risk her life? (Shakes head in disbelief)
Grunt - I like this author but I can‘t go to sleep after reading about people getting bits blown off. DNF
Falcon Thief (rec from @Cinfhen ) - very interesting. (I pressed for more detail) I have to keep moving while my pies are still warm. ⬇️

This is perfect for fans of "The Feather Thief". I was fascinated by that story and listened to the audiobook of this one which was incredibly similar but a different underground trade altogether. This time, the author investigates falcon collectors. It's amazing how selfish and ridiculous people can be when it comes to animals and using them for their own gain. Drives me over the edge. This is a nonviolent #truecrime.

Sneaking this one in, as Amazon says published in September 2015, for #BBRC #ER #POCCharacterPublishedWithin5Years.

Not too sure how to review easy readers, but I guess this would have a lot of appeal for slightly older readers with a lower reading level. Lots of repeated words, but it still feels more like a ‘proper‘ book than a reader. @LibrarianRyan @Sarahreadstoomuch

DNF - I got about a third of the way into this one and I‘m bored. Back to the library it goes!

This looks right up my alley!

Falconry is an ancient Arabic art dating back thousands of centuries and the history attached is absolutely fascinating. Who knew that the crown price of Dubai in the early 1990‘s would bring the sport of falconry back into vogue and in the process unwittingly create a hotbed of illegal activities. For fans of The Feather Thief and The Dragon Behind The Glass, The Falcon Thief is an egg-cellent true crime caper😉 #ARC #NetGalley
