pickThis wavered between a pick and so-so, but I'm feeling generous so I'll give it a low pick. Its gritty urban fantasy, although the first story seemed more post-apocalyptic dystopian fiction. I don't believe I'd be interested in following the series any further. 3 🧝♂️🧝♂️🧝♂️

📖 Borderland and Beyond The North Wind
📽 LoTR, The Expanse TV series
📖 I almost always read the book first. I did buy The Last Wish after I heard about The Witcher TV series. I haven't read it yet.

Once upon a time (isn't that the way humans always start a story?) there was magic in the world, or so your bards and storytellers of old have always claimed: elven lords in dark forests and sumptuous halls beneath the hills, dragons curled in mountain caverns sleeping upon hoarded gold, Nereids in woodland streams, merman in the cold gray sea.

I am posting one book per day from my extensive to-be-read collection. No description or reason for wanting to read the book. Some are old and some will be new. Don't judge me - I have a lot of books.

Not finding a lot of time to read right now and haven‘t gotten into a good routine here yet. Stealing a few minutes in Bordertown while I can.

Still cannot get myself to stick with The Scorpio Races, so I am reading the Essential Bordertown, one of the last books in the incredible shared world anthology put together by Terri Windling.
How could I not love stories about runaway punk elves and teens?
Short stories before bed.

Tentative booklist for November to help me keep the political blues away.

So, this is what Urban Fantasy looked like in the 80s. Way less romance, way more grit. Not sure exactly when that started to change but I seriously miss the old stuff.
And I just spent $81 on these three books that I‘ve wanted for soooo long. Part of me knows that‘s a ridiculous amount to spend but the rest of me can‘t wait to read them in November.
