Welcome to Litsy!

Did a puzzle so I could finish MEMORIES OF ICE a bit quicker. As with the first two, I enjoyed it overall but I think time has softened the edges that made the series groundbreaking back in the day. I do wish everyone would curb their impulse towards bombastic internal monologues, too. There‘s a LOT of that.

I probably won‘t have much listening time in France, so I‘ll get the next one in late April or so. #MFMarch #audiopuzzling

Somebody give me a pep talk because this book is a monster. I‘ve heard that it‘s totally worth it though. I‘ve only been able to read a page or two a day so at this rate I‘ll be finished this time next year. 😂

I got an iron on my jacket this morning, and now it‘s done! Next up: the trousers. I‘ve mostly finished them, but I want to redo the lining because the stuff I chose is way too loud.

I‘m making good progress through MEMORIES OF ICE, too. It amazes me how very D&D the worldbuilding is, but I guess that‘s all in line with Erikson‘s stated goal to offer a more nuanced take on a particular kind of fantasy. #MFMarch #audiosewing

I‘m so excited to share 📚☺️ received my Broken Binding Malazan special edition books 🥰🥰🥰. There so amazing 😍❣️

Working at the weekend to fund more books and/or a holiday. The capitalism continues

Tomorrow I need to do the sleeve buttonholes, topstitch the lapels, and press the shit out of it. Then my tweed jacket is finally done!

To be honest, I didn‘t listen to a TON of DEADHOUSE GATES while I worked because the last week has all been fiddly handsewn stuff I wanted to focus on—and because, unpopular opinion coming up, I liked GARDENS OF THE MOON more than this one. Still, I‘m invested enough to tackle #3 in due course. #audiosewing

Finished book 4. Not much happened till around the last 100 pages.

While I‘m not enjoying this series as much as I‘d hoped I‘m still planning to continue as there‘s just something about it that makes me still want to know what‘s going to happen.

The provisional sleeve-set went well on both sides, thanks to 8300 pins. Only seven more steps until my jacket‘s ready for its Parisian debut!

I‘ve made good progress through GARDENS OF THE MOON, too. I like it a lot more than I did the first time I tried it, but I don‘t think it‘ll hit Love status. Still, most people agree this is the series‘ weakest book, so I‘ll look forward to the next one. #MFMarch #audiosewing

Starting the weekend with a reread since the second book in the series has been sitting on my shelves for more than a few months. I remember liking this the first time I read it. I think I‘m enjoying it even more this time!

Continuing The Wheel of Time Series.

This is book 3 and of the three I‘ve read it‘s not my favorite but I still want to know what happens next.

This one felt very much like a set up book but we‘ll just have to wait and see. I do have plans to pick up book 4 The Shadow Rising very soon.
