Welcome to Litsy!

I don't know that I'll make it through the whole series if this kid keeps saying bro or brah every few statements 🙄

I decided that my speech for Monday would be a compare/contrast between my two fave characters: William Blair from Tales of the Iron Rose and Kaz Brekker from Sox of Crows. So I am reviewing the former because it‘s been a little while.

So mad at myself for not cracking this open the day it arrived from Aardvark. I loved this so much. It‘s just as wonderful as The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches - lovely, cozy writing, lovable characters, including a zombie rooster named Roo Roo, and a story that draws you in and blocks out the real world. It‘s a warm book hug, with subtle socio-political commentary, if you pay attention.

This book is filled with life, death, difficult moments and ones that will make your toes curl. While I was very excited for demon smut, I was more impressed by the way the author handled the topics of self harm, cancer, infertility and grief.

4.5⭐️

This was fun and creative and ridiculous. Even being completely clueless about D&D-type gaming and whatnot, I had a good time, but I‘m not sure I want to read seven more of them. (I‘m not quite the target audience for this haha.) Very entertaining though.

I'm so happy to be back at the d&d table. I'm playing a harengon ranger. A harengon is basically a rabbit person. I have a bit more painting to do on her, but I'm excited she gets to be active again.

What better company could a gal want on a comfy Saturday night (also present is husband and his book).

Today's 'scratched my brain just right' sentence.

Spectacular. Certainly took some darker turns with more pathos than I initially anticipated, but the fantastical elements are gorgeously rendered and truly imaginative.
I'm usually a big grump about illustrated works in black and white/gray scale, but this was beautiful even without colour. To think I found out about it because of an ad in the back of a The Way of the Househusband manga! 1/?

The Gone series has been on my TBR for years so I decided to check the 1st book Gone. I like it so far but I didn't realize how long this series is. There are 6 books in the original series and then 7-9 were add ons later in guess.
So I decided to calculate how long the series is because just the 1st book is 560 pages. In case you are curious too the total page count is - 4,245 pages and the audiobooks at 1 speed is approx 136 hours long. 😱
