Welcome to Litsy!

I last read this a couple of decades ago, but it felt like a brand-new read. Kept me turning the pages quickly!

I liked this little story! I appreciate when people appreciate nature; I should get out more when it‘s not icy. Extra credit for finding this in a little free library and gifting it to a friend.

A totally unrelated bookmark but the PNW does have woods so 🤷🏽‍♀️

Starting the audio book. My main complaint so far is the reader's voice for Saphira. Lol he makes her sound like an old lady 😂

Hello Litsy!
I know it's been a while since I posted, but it's a combination of the app not working, a broken hip, and a reading slump!
Anyway, this book has helped get me out of the 4 month reading slump, so I recommend it with reservations. The next picture I post will be under a spoiler, as it contains the content warnings.

This is the best book in the series. It takes a huge dark turn!
I love the beginning of the book before Hogwarts as we don't go back to school until 1/4 into the book! I think it's criminal that the movie doesn't show much of Sirius as he becomes such a great godfather to Harry in GoF.
The scenes where Harry relives the graveyard to Sirius & Dumbledore, also Sirius & Mrs Weasley sitting by his bedside get me every time 🥺
Also, Dobby is back! 🥰

For children‘s book of the year (Barnes and noble), I expected more. It just fell flat for me. The themes of the story (power, greed, love) borderline older understanding. Surprised by the amount of death in this book. Though I guess that‘s part of the overall theme; that even through all these hardships and evil, life is still worth living for in joy. That was nice. The fantastical creatures came by overwhelmingly. Story felt over stimulating.

I adore this series so much. This final book followed up with the same writing style and prose. Of which, now being older myself reading these, it‘s interesting that the story never seems to evolve. Which helps a lot with all these twists, but not with getting deep into it. In tune to this final one, I liked how the questions of morality came up, wanting a simply life, though felt a missed opportunity for taking it in depth.

I have got to get these books back to the library! This week's stretch goal. I am 3/4 into the tagged and am listening to the audio on my walls, hope to finish tomorrow. I am 1/3 into Tenants Downstairs and hope to finish that Tuesday. Picked up 7 Moons on audio to supplement my reading when walking.
