Ship of Magic | Robin Hobb

We are nearing the time where we say goodbye to FitzChivalry and hello to magic ships and I am so excited!

Next book for #RealmofElderlings will be Ship of Magic which starts the Liveship Trader trilogy. This is by far my favourite trilogy

I'll do a Farseer trilogy wrap up when the leaderboard gets generated

Are we excited to explore a different part of Robin Hobb's world? What are your expectations?

Laughterhp Do I need to have finished the other trilogy to enjoy this one? Because I only read the first book again for fitzchivalry. 1d

PuddleJumper @Laughterhp No, it's set in a different part of the world. I actually read this trilogy first on my original read through 1d

Laughterhp Oh okay, perfect! I‘m hoping I‘ll be more into the next trilogy. 1d

PuddleJumper @Laughterhp Farseer Trilogy is an outlier, it is the only series in 1st person I believe. I see prior recommending reading the Liveship Traders first before Farseer because by then you're invested and won't be easily put off 😅 1d

Enchanted_Bibliophile I'm excited to jump into the new trilogy 😃 (see what I did there) 😉 8h

You can try to get them all in a month, or keep this board in play for longer, whatever works for you.

Bloody Jack: Being an Account of the Curious Adventures of Mary "Jacky" Faber, Ship's Boy | L. A. Meyer

I signed up for an account with https://www.audiobooks.com/ because a Hearts Through History author had some #audiobook holds for her first book. I figured I could fit listening to it in my reading schedule. Downside another account, password, and app. Plus side seems like they have a lot of content, even for free!

I spotted two of my favorite narrators listed: Simon Vance and Katherine Kellgren!!! 🩷

I Spy Treasure Hunt: A Book of Picture Riddles | Jean Marzollo

Bwahaha here I am actually remembering to post the new #ISpyBingo board in a timely manner! Miracle!!

Anyway, here are July's prompts. As a reminder, anyone can play. These items can be found on the front cover, back cover, or spine of the book. You can try to get them all in a month, or keep this board in play for longer, whatever works for you!! I personally have been adding a new board every month but plan to give myself a year to clear each ⬇

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) one, so I'll be playing this one from July 2025 to the end of June 2026 (theoretically haha)

If you want to see all the 2025 boards they can be found here - https://www.canva.com/design/DAGVO4NctsY/-lGsmflP3sUW9FsAung8hg/view?utm_content...

Feel free to let me know if you have questions, or if you'd like to be added to the list of people I tag with each month's board!! 1w

LiseWorks It's July already? Love the #ISpyBingos 1w

julieclair I downloaded all 12 boards in January, and have been working on them all at the same time. I‘m wondering which one will be my first coverall! 6d

TheAromaofBooks @julieclair - That's what I did last year, but then it was a little crazy at the beginning of the year checking off a jillion prompts, and then by the end of the year I was just looking for a handful of weird ones. So it's been kind of fun starting a new one each month. I still haven't cleared any of them, although I only have one prompt left in January. (Handcuffs?? What was I thinking?! 😂) 6d

julieclair @TheAromaofBooks I must admit I loved checking off a jillion prompts at the beginning of the year! 😆 January is my best month so far, too, but even so, I still have 7 empty spaces. One of which is handcuffs (yep… what were you thinking🤣 I have visions of myself in December, having no time for holiday festivities because I‘m running around looking for a book with handcuffs on the cover! 😂😂😂 5d

TheAromaofBooks @julieclair - Your Christmas wishlist is composed of one item: ANY book with handcuffs on the cover 😂 5d

The Scar | China Mi�ville

My Scar reading has sped up, because it's going well so far. Here's 2 things I've thought about this morning:
1) this book could pull the exact same twist that Perdido Street Station did, with Tanner. Please don't, book.
2) hearing about the different lands makes me think very strongly of the Wayward Children series

Visited Santa Barbara today. Was walking along State Street and looked down to my left and said “There‘s the library.” It took my kids half a block before they saw it. They do not have a library radar in their heads. 😂
