Yule: A Celebration of Light & Warmth | Dorothy Morrison

Taking the #litsy temperature. Who would be interested in a yule themed card swap this winter? And if you wouldn't mind stating what country you're from so I can get a vibe for international interest levels. #swaps #yule #solstice #litsyswaps
#LitsyEvents

KadaGul @thebacklistbook Count me in 🙌 for the Yule Swap 🔁from the USA 🇺🇸! Work 🏢has been hectic for a long time now, but all the football 🏈, card, and book 📚swaps keep me sane 😌and add much-needed fun🤩🥳! 4d

Bookwormjillk I usually do the Winter Solstice card swap. When would the Yule Swap be? 4d

thebacklistbook it would be opening date of January 1, I'm thinking. it will be structured very similarly to the #autumncomfortswap just yule themed. so base commitment the card and small stuff with the opportunity to send more if someone wants to. @Bookwormjillk 3d

CrowCAH I‘ve been into the card swaps lately! Yes, from MI, USA. 3d

#ShardlakeBR #LitsyEvents

So sorry I'm late, Shardlakians! I just got home from vacation yesterday? How are we doing on TOMBLAND? And thoughts or comments? I am wwwaaayyy behind, so I have nothing to say except that I hope to be catching up this month! If you're like me, no worries! You're definitely not alone! Next check-in will be 8/31 with a final discussion on 9/30 over the entire book. Have a great week! 🩵💙🩵

LiseWorks I love this book. This time, it seems to be all about the legal system, and boy, it's sad. 2w

AnneCecilie I love this one as well, as I‘ve mentioned before this series is a reread for me. But I had completely forgotten why Shardlake was in Norwich. I remember more of what happens later. I completely agree @LiseWorks about the legal system, imagine being put in trial and not being allowed to pay for someone to defend you. I can‘t imagine how many have been wrongly convicted because of it 2w

kwmg40 I‘m enjoying this book very much. The length is a bit daunting but it is interesting learning about the legal system in that time. 2w

dabbe @LiseWorks It is stunningly sad, isn't it? 2w

dabbe @AnneCecilie Pretty much everything about living during the Tudor times was tough, whether you were poor or the wife of the king. As bad as our modern times may be, nothing compares to that! 2w

dabbe @kwmg40 🩵🎯🩵 And thank goodness for 3 months! 😂 2w

Daisey I‘m also way behind and currently working on catching up on Kristin Lavransdatter as well, so we‘ll see how that goes with school about to start as well. 2w

dabbe @Daisey 🩵🎯🩵 2w

lil1inblue I'm plugging along! I like the book, but compared to some of the others I feel it's dragging just a bit. But I still have 65% to go, so we'll see what happens! 2w

lil1inblue @liseworks @annececilie The legal system is infuriating! And the punishments are so excessive for many of the crimes! Yet again, those with means can game the system, and those without suffer - often wrongly. 2w

dabbe @lil1inblue I hear ya! 🩵🎯🩵 2w

1. The sun shiny day! The sun is beaming! ☀️
2. My books! 📚I love the books I‘m reading now and the books I haven‘t read yet that‘s in all my little places around the house.
3. The love of God and the love of family. God is love, so love is all around us.❤️
4. My glasses so I can read my books. 👓
5. I can‘t even tell you how blessed I am this Friday. 5th joy…Blessed! @DebinHawaii

Assassin's Apprentice: The Farseer Trilogy | Robin Hobb

This is the first planned reading schedule for #RealmofElderlings

It could change depending on how people find it.

I‘m giving 2 months for books over 500 pages which is pretty much all of them! This means it will take about 2 years to get through the entire series.

We'll be starting with Assassin's Apprentice in February, there will be a buddy read and readalong on SG and I'll post start, mid, end posts on Litsy

PuddleJumper Bookclub on SG - https://app.thestorygraph.com/book_clubs/29999d93-0689-409b-8291-72dbf71334bf

@Fortifiedbybooks @wanderinglynn @Ruthiella @majkia @willaful @LitsyEvents 7mo

Luke-XVX Tempting ! 7mo

PuddleJumper @Luke-XVX Join us! See how many times we collectively spell assassin wrong 😂

All the SG will remain open/visible. Even if you don't read along, I think you can still see the comments 7mo

See All 24 Comments

Luke-XVX I did read Ship of Magic last year so I could feasibly skip that one. I do have Storygraph but I haven‘t used it enough to “get” it (edited) 7mo

PuddleJumper @Luke-XVX You don't need to use SG. I'll post things here as well which will hopefully include discussions

I like the SG features because they are aimed more towards that kind of thing 7mo

Luke-XVX Count me in! I haven‘t done an online Bookclub before 7mo

Ruthiella Awesome. I appreciate the pacing as well! These are long books and there‘s a lot to take in with each one. 7mo

PuddleJumper @Luke-XVX Great! I'll add you to the list 7mo

PuddleJumper @Ruthiella Yeah, a month would be pushing it for a lot of people and you can't rush these ones. I remember them being packed with stuff 7mo

majkia Looking forward to a revisit. It'll be traumatic.... 7mo

PuddleJumper @majkia So very traumatic. I think I cry a lot during the first book 7mo

wanderinglynn Yay! Can‘t wait! 7mo

Enchanted_Bibliophile I've been meaning to read these books forever, so this is the perfect kick I need to get it done! I've never done a BC on SG, but am excited to learn 7mo

Larkken Ive always wanted to try SG for buddy reads and I've never finished all of these! I may join 7mo

Laughterhp I‘ve only read the first book and I remember really loving it. I‘ll give it a try again this year since I‘ve been better recently about continuing series! 7mo

PuddleJumper @Enchanted_Bibliophile I like that SG is geared towards discussion and commentary. Buddy reads are my favourite because i can react as I read 7mo

PuddleJumper @Larkken I really like the buddy reads on SG. I like seeing people's comments as they read 7mo

PuddleJumper @Laughterhp I'm more likely to read if I can talk about things with people. I remember having a lot of feelings about these books 🤣 7mo

kelli7990 I want to join. It‘s been a long time since I‘ve read a fantasy series. The last fantasy series I read was A Song Of Ice And Fire but I read it with The Catchup Book Club on social media. I‘ve heard that these books are really good and I want to see what the hype is all about. I‘ve never buddy read a book series on Litsy before. 7mo

PuddleJumper @kelli7990 I definitely think it helps reading with other people. I love the series but they can be a bit intimidating, they are so long! 7mo

daena May I join in! This sounds wonderful. 7mo

PuddleJumper @daena Of course! I'll add you to the list and if you're on SG the book club is here https://app.thestorygraph.com/book_clubs/29999d93-0689-409b-8291-72dbf71334bf 7mo

daena Great. I just joined the SG group. 7mo
