Welcome to Litsy!

Thank you @BookmarkTavern for creating this fun play-card.

The Old Kingdom Series by Garth Nix. Love his writing style 🪄✍️📚💝.

Also, while my interests would have one day led me to discover necromancy (I love reading about anything magical and ghostly)...it was in this series by Garth Nix that I first encountered this form of magic 🪄👻💝 in fantasy.

1- Wonderful that U.S.A. was one of the countries involved in the Historic prisoner swap 😢🙏🥲.

2- Caught an episode of Captain Planet this week. Haven't seen this show since elementary age. The foundation of the show's storyline always stayed with me, yet the episode was like brand new. 💍🌎💍🌏💍🌍💍🎬💍. Hopefully I can catch more episodes🤞. 👇

The 6th book I read in February is the 5th & final book in the Dante Valentine series. After being violated by Lucifer in Hell, Danny‘s dropped back in the real world with her mind & body scrambled, barely knowing her name let alone who to trust. A pawn in Hells war, she has to decide whether Japhrimel is on her side or if she on her own against both Lucifer & his daughter. #SeriesLove2024 #BacklistReadathon #ReadAway2024

Another one finished last week is Bk4 of the Dante Valentine series. After the betrayals in Bk3, Danny is called back to Saint City to help her oldest friend track down a murderer. She ends up losing way too much & is hunted by police for something she did not do while Lucifer has his hot dirty little fingers in nearly every pie. This book is not perfect but it is heartbreaking & well worth a read. #SeriesLove2024 #BacklistReadathon #ReadAway2024

The 3rd book in Dante Valentine is not my fave in the series but still a good read.After defeating the ‘ka‘ of her evil headmaster, Danny & Japhrimel have left Saint City to recover from the psychic damage to her mind. But Lucifer doesn‘t let go so easily & wants Danny to roundup 4 Demons for him. But everyone knows the Devil can‘t be trusted. For people who like dark, violent fantasy & don‘t mind a lot of swearing & hellraising. Like me! 👇

I finished this whole series last week but I‘m still having ups & downs with my health, which is honestly worse than being flat on my back constantly. Just when you think you‘re getting up it‘s WHAM! Sucks balls. But this book was great👍The 2nd Dante Valentine, Danny‘s struggling after the death of her mate with Lucifer double crossing her. But psychics are being murdered & it‘s all tied to the boarding school hell she lived through as a child.👇

Bk2 of February was the 1st in another Saintcrow series. It‘s fitting seeing as my year so far has been touched by the 😈I think this was her debut novel? Dante Valentine is a Necromance,minding her own business when the demon Japhrimel knocks on her door & tells her she has an appt with Lucifer. He wants her to track down an escaped demon by whatever means & gives her no choice in the matter. It‘s another dark & violent ride👍 #SeriesLove2024
