Welcome to Litsy!

Sitting down to read and drink some decaf coffee ☕️! It‘s cold and snowy outside. #otherlandbuddyread

You guys, I have FINALLY gotten through the first major section of Otherland Vol. 1!! I‘m glad I‘m finally making progress on this book. Goodreads tells me I started this on Dec. 12, 2016!! Not to mention that it was given to me as a gift in the late 1990‘s. Probably 1998, which makes it one of the oldest unread books in my collection! #MountTBR #otherlandbuddyread

7 books total (of 10 ytd)
Only 4 from my #mountTBR 😱The kid‘s books were all new. #mountTBRchallenge

They are all quite short books though. I started reading Otherland Vol. 1 again, so that‘s going to lower my numbers for March even more! #otherlandbuddyread @GrilledCheeseSamurai

I‘m finally getting back into this! I was hoping I could get the audiobook so I wouldn‘t have to lug this brick around (770 pages of hardcover), but Audible doesn‘t have it (in English! In German, yes! English, no?!?) and neither does my library. I will do my best to read from it every day, but I may get through it quickly!

I‘m on page 122 of our #OtherlandBuddyRead with @GrilledCheeseSamurai . I think I‘ll back up a bit to refresh my memory.

Here's the first few words of City Of Golden Shadow, from the Otherland series.

There's just something about the way Tad Williams tells a story that clicks with me. I've heard lots of folk complain about him being to wordy or slow moving. Not me. The man could write a book about eating a sandwich and I'd buy the hardcover! 🙋‍♂️

So happy to be back in his words again. 😍

I'm done work for the next 2 and a half days! 🙌

I got a few errands to run in the morning and after that I am hibernating in my house, locking my doors, ignoring the world, and sticking my nose in a book(s). The only human contact I want are fictional characters and my fellow Littens.

Celebrating with a cold beer and kicking things off by starting #OtherlandBuddyRead right now.

Another one of my favorite Fantasy books/series is Tad Williams Memory Sorrow and Thorn trilogy. Prolly even my number 1.

You know how people go bananas over LOTR's (myself included)? Well, this series is my LOTR's.

What I mean to say is - I'm obsessed with it. It's usually my go to for 'best of lists' and I love, love it!

And the best thing is, Tad just started a 2nd trilogy last year continuing the story. ❤️😍❤️

So these are the books on my plate right now. There‘re 2 buddy reads, which count also for my #MountTBRchallenge (#OtherlandBuddyRead & #EpicBuddyRead #NameoftheWind). There‘re also 2 collections for the #PoetryChallenge2018 and the new book for #GroupX‘s #LPMBC, which I thought I should keep Secret! ThankS for sending it @jhod !

@DivaDiane and I are about to do a #OtherlandBuddyRead of City of Golden Shadow (1st of 4 in the Otherland series).

I read these back when they first came out in the mid 90's and as Tad is one of my favorite authors I wanted to revisit. It's a casual (side book) read so if any one else wants to join in...go for it! It's a no pressure go at your own pace kinda thing. @DivaDiane has already started and I'm gonna begin this week/weekend. 🙌
