Welcome to Litsy!

I‘m a sucker for Ruritanian romance; throw in some fantasy and I‘m there. This is the sequel to ‘Coronets & Steel‘ literally a modern day Ruritanian romance with fantasy elements; it follows on the Christmas after the events in the first book. Although (halfway through) there‘s not much romance, the love of Kim‘s life being otherwise engaged (pun intended). Still fun

My -ology journey continues with Griffin & Sabine heptalogy series. I chose these instead of Chronicles of Narnia because a) I read book 1 of G&S and I wanted to finish the remaining books and b) I read Narnia to the point I lost count.

If you like the IP and Stackpole‘s work this is quick fun read.

Interesting premise and I liked reading how ancient Romans lived, the public baths, the smell (omg, the smell - you could practically experience it coming off the pages with the descriptions), disease and war. Too bad the main character was so unlikeable. She had her own morals, like no drinking, no spanking children, etc., but then would give into them, almost like, “Oh well, when in Rome…” Ending felt flat and predictable too.

The 1st in the Critically acclaimed Trilogy

I love John Connolly. This is an ebook I've had for a few months now, but I haven't gotten around to reading it yet.

So damn good. The first part drug for me, like the first book. I liked the Old English words at the beginning of the chapters. Think that I love the whimsy of the book.

I received this in the mail from Thriftbooks, but didn‘t order it. Did someone send me a gift?!

4.25/5 ?????

"There would be consequences, I knew that. There were always consequences, usually teeny tiny consequences that you hardly noticed.
But the small things added up over time, until eventually they formed one big thing that could crush you beneath its weight."
