Welcome to Litsy!

We are at the half way mark with Ship of Magic for #RealmofElderlings buddy read or challenge

Who has started/finished the book?

How are you finding it in comparison to the Farseer trilogy?

Use spoiler tags if necessary!

We'll be reading Ship of Magic through August and then Mad Ship September/October

Everyone is doing great, these are chonky chonky books. I've really enjoyed the buddy read on SG and seeing what people think as the read

My favourite fantasy series. First time I've re-read it in over 10 years and it's still as good as I remembered.

I do need a break before the next book. Maybe something cheerful and not as complex?

#RealmofElderlings

I'm reading my 1998 edition of Ship of Magic and the pages are like tissue paper!

Look at this stunning 90s book cover by Michael Whelan. Magical.

Here is the book club's leaderboard for the Farseer Trilogy. I know we lost a few which I understand, sometimes this trilogy is a merry go round of pain and 1st POV doesn't work for everyone.

Do you agree with the ratings? What was your favourite book?

Here‘s how I did on my #bookspinbingo June picks. I started Royal Assassin for the #realmofelderlings buddy read but I only read the prologue. I feel like I didn‘t have time to read very much of this book. I didn‘t read the book club book. I want to read it but I will read it another time. I don‘t have time to read it right now.

Here‘s how I did on my #readyourkindle list in June. I started Royal Assassin for #realmofelderlings buddy read but I only read the prologue. I finished a series for #serieslove2025. I read some of the books on the #naturalitsy list. I started the short story for #christiescapers but I didn‘t finish it before the end of the month. I read the short stories for #noplacelikeholmes and I read the #whimsicalreadsbookclub book.

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?

Here‘s my progress on #realmofelderlings. I started the tagged book this month. I‘ve only read the prologue but it was good. Will I make more progress? Eventually.

These books are never what I expect, but it always blows my mind.
A very satisfying end to a very heart-rending journey.

Hob weaves true magic with her writing. Her poetic, imaginative prose takes you places you've never dreamt of; contiplating situation you'll never face, but truly do though her stories
