Welcome to Litsy!

#ReadYourDamnDanmei is mostly for me as a way to get through my light novels

I did really well this year. I read 5 out of 8 books and then 9 extra … that I maybe bought

I've got several more that I want to get through. I've just set up a SG challenge where you add 24 books. I don't think I've got that many right now but my self control is limited

That seems like a lot of books. I actually got through 3 books for #ReadYourDamnDanmei

Managed to read this during sprints so that was fun!

This is a lot denser than the first book. There is so much mythology and information that it got a little bit overwhelming.

I'm excited to see what happens next after that cliffhanger.

That was a fun read! It was a little dense and info dumping in places but I expect the from the first in a series

Out of all of MXTX‘s works this was the one that interested me the least. I wasn't going to buy it but I found it for £3 at a charity shop.

This didn't capture me. I enjoyed the sections in the present but I found the flashbacks quite dull. I'm not interested enough to carry on, especially since it's such a long series and expensive to buy.

I'm gonna go with MDZS as my special book because I don't think I'm going to like it and I want to read it for #ReadYourDamnDanmei

A political drama set during the Sui dynasty with a slow burn romance featuring espionage, hate flirting, and political machinations.

It is slow to start and there is a lot of information which can be difficult. I read up a bit because I was getting lost with what kingdom was where and why they didn't like or did like the Sui dynasty (this helped a lot).

I really enjoyed the first volume. I've wanted to read this for ages after watching bits and pieces of the show. It is very different from the show and I think much better.

Guo Changcheng was definitely my favourite. I related to him so much.

There was mystery, mythology, pining, and longing looks, all the good stuff.

I really enjoyed this. This was my first official Danmei novel and I'm glad I started with this. It was very light and humorous, made fun of and then subverted common tropes, and was a fun read.

Help a Litten out! I'm wanting to get back into reading challenges this year but I'm having a hard time figuring out what Litsy is hosting these days. It looks like a few I used to do aren't active anymore. Are there any I should know about? (I'm planning to do #bookspin with @TheAromaofBooks and #agathachristieclubR3 with @Librarybelle, of course!)
