Welcome to Litsy!

I‘m joining all the fun things late!

I think I signed up for #MidWinterSolace too!

Just trying to finish all the challenges before the end of the year! Last year I read 7 books in December. 🤞🏼

This gothic novel is beautifully written. Loosely based on the Island of Dr. Moreau, we once again follow the Thaumas sisters as the youngest Verity, takes a leap, and goes on a daring and twisted adventure.
Absolutely horrifyingly beautiful.

This is told as a fairytale, a retelling (apparently) of Bluebeard which I was unfamiliar with prior. I loved the way this played with the fairytale genre and ways we tell stories to circumvent reality, often even to ourselves. But ultimately, the narrator tells us: “The people are us, the time is always.” Side: didn‘t I just read this somewhere on Litsy? Such a perfect line. I‘m not sure I grasped all this was doing but I had fun trying. #ToB26

If you like the Robin Hood story, you will love this one. The prequel of how Robin Hood came to be and all his merry men. It was a chunksters but a page turner. One for #SnowyDecemberReathathon ✔️ done. One spot for #ISpyBingoDec @TheAromaofBooks

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️5/5 loved this! 🖤

This was a superb ending to an amazing series. I love this series, I can‘t believe how long it took me to discover it. I‘m blown away with everything that happened in this series. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The length of this novel did a disservice to the premise. 😏 It would have been much better as a short story or novella. What did the editor do aside from check grammar and spelling? I got through the audio only because I spent hours in the kitchen cooking & cleaning for Thanksgiving.

It seems too soon to post my December #bookspin, but Monday is the first so I guess not. As always I‘ll be excited to see what @TheAromaofBooks pulls out of the hat!

Ayleth is determined to prove herself to her mother‘s coven heading to the kingdom‘s capital to rescue the Bloodstones keeping the Veil intact. But then she draws the eye of the king as she becomes friends with a princess dark as a raven, fair as snow, & red as blood.

A fantastic prequel! Really digs into taking a sympathetic character & breaking her down until she‘s willing to burn it all. Great world building, a little slow to start.🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑
