Welcome to Litsy!

There are shades of Labyrinth in this book, by which I mean the Lady of the Hills and Jareth could both have been played by David Bowie, in my head.

I was sold when this was advertised as a book series similar to the Earth‘s Children series, and it is indeed similar to that though different enough to stand on its own right. Thankful to Kindle Unlimited for allowing me access to the first four books. #currentlyreading

An examination of cunning folk in history, from their heyday to when they began to lose their influence. Cunning folk are practitioners of folk magic, which is different from witchcraft, no pact with the devil is assumed. It's a fascinating and well researched book and a must read for anyone interested in this topic.

I loved this book growing up, and it definitely encouraged my ongoing love affair with alleys 😂 I hadn't read this one in several years, and it was super fun to revisit. Cleery buys a box of magic at a flea market, and accidentally magics a stuffed crow into being alive - and able to talk - but not able to fly. With an enchantment of being able to find something magical in every new alley she visits that summer, she and her best friend set off ⬇

Got some #bookmail yesterday afternoon. Just browsing the pages and the beautiful illustrations, I know I‘m saving this book for a palette cleanse.

Absolutely enjoyed this this one!
This feels like a classic folk tale, what with Agatha having to take on missions/adventures to win favors from the Fae, intertwined into Agatha's every day life in her sleepy little village.

I truly loved the water colors and character designs. Everything was just a treat to look at. I really enjoyed Hyacinth the most and wouldn't have minded more of them.

With this book done I have read 75 books this year. High is half more than I normally make so I‘m super happy about that.m

I also have more than that in places I want to visit now…darn not being rich enough to do it!

I am finishing up my last 2 books of the year the next 2 days, and I will not be doing my best of until I finish them, but I do know how I did with my 2024 goals in general.

I Started out strong with my Jose Saramago goal, but only ended up reading 3 of 12. I lost track of the classics I was going to read, but know of at least 4 I didn't get to. I own them all so will roll them over to 25.

Time to go on a journey
