Welcome to Litsy!

On my tbr

Wishing all of you on Litsy the happiest new year! This year, I‘m hoping to get back into more classics after giving myself a bit of a break over the last couple years. I want to reread all of Jane Austen‘s work to celebrate her 250th birthday, tackle Proust‘s Swann‘s Way, Dickens‘ Hard Times, and a few others that have sat on my TBR too long. Of course, I‘ll also be picking up whatever looks good in the moment for fun too! Happy reading!

Really enjoyed this collection of short stories set before the first Spirit Animals book. I wish the stories were a bit longer though, especially the last one. I feel like the action was kind of rushed to make it fit a certain work count or something. I would recommend it for fans of the Spirit Animals series but it probably won‘t be as enjoyable if you haven‘t read the main series already.

The pups shoved my book out of my hands and took up all of the real estate on my lap as soon as the first thunder crack shook our house. It seems we're in for it tonight...the power is flickering and my weather app is blowing up. #ThunderBuddies

I won book 5 in a LibraryThing giveaway and thought I‘d catch up on the series while I wait for my copy. This was an adorable quick read about a boy that moves to a new city, discovers a fruit bat in his bedroom, and makes friends with his neighbors. Oh, and then there‘s the pigeon. 😂

2/5⭐ The description is beautiful, but there's no hook and it's slow. Not for me. #roll100

4✨ This is the last book in the trilogy and it is heartbreaking! Anything that could happen to an elephant happens to poor little Ruby. She finds a bit of herself in a celebration. Loved each book in this series. #SeriesLove @Andrew65 @TheSpineView

I read the whole series finally, the writing is fairly simple and so were the plots. But characters, their interactions and the humour made up for it. It also had some rather gruesome and sad deaths for children‘s series. My favourite book was “The Fox Cub Bold” because it had a more serious plot. I also found that final book ended the series really satisfyingly. If you like animal fantasy books, then you should check out this series.
