Today‘s BN #bookhaul to spend my Christmas gift card. I asked for the tagged, but didn‘t really expect to get it. The Hekate has the gorgeous sprayed edges, and I can‘t wait for the next book (both to read it and to see what it looks like). The Time Machine is for homeschool literature on a few months - I thought I had it, but can‘t find it anywhere. Kiddo didn‘t spend all her gift cards in one go, but very carefully considered her purchases. 👇🏻

A wonderful novel-in-stories, focusing on Asil the Moor as he undergoes a series of disastrous dates foisted upon him by an unknown friend. While probably unnecessary in the grand scheme of the Mercyverse, there is some general plot progression throughout. And it‘s genuinely fun to read about Asil‘s misadventures. And look at these gorgeous endpapers! I told hubby I want my own copy for Christmas. Probably won‘t get it but 🤞🏻

My latest library #bookhaul - if a single book can be a haul. I‘m trying to finish Nobody‘s Girl first, but I don‘t know if I can wait that long.

Absolutely fabulous, stayed up way past my bedtime and paid in head pain but totally worth it.
Asil is surprised with 5 blind dates, and each one has an unexpected adventure which also builds up the world very nicely.
5/5 read for a nice mixture of holiday and novella with excellent world building and character development

#favoritereadofthemonth (October)

I finished this in one sitting because I couldn't put it down. Once again, Patricia Briggs delivers a fun, engaging story told in 5 short stories that shes ties together about Asil (from the Mercyverse). I loved reading about his 5 dates & appreciated how she tied all 5 stories together, & even had a HEA.

Thanks for the tag @ChaptersofChaos

Hello! I‘ve had a bit of a Litsy-hiatus due to work travel and the newly enforced vacation (iykyk). But I missed you! Y‘all help me actually think about what I‘m reading, and it turns out that I couldn‘t remember the title of a single book I‘d read lately, good or bad, when asked by my hairdresser last week 😆 so let‘s try and turn that around. At least Briggs‘ werewolves are always memorable…

Seeking a cure for "the gets" Luke goes to help his brother at a deep sea base at the bottom of the marianna trench. His brother found a new substance that he is calling ambrosia. But something else has found him and the other scientists ?‍⬛

Shinn‘s Twelve Houses series is one of my very favorite fantasy series, and there has always been an information gap - what happened to Kirra & Donnal on Dorrin Island? And now, so many years later, we finally know! I was so excited to hear about this book coming out.
Most of my enjoyment of this novella came from just being back with characters & in a world I know so well. I do wish it had been longer & given them more space to work things out.

To make up for my sluggish reading 😜😂, I am going to post about past reads, & give updated remarks for #overcomingevilempires
