Love the mysterious set up. Of course, we fan readers of this series know what exists in the North, but to start the story this way for Elinor is splendid. Creates spooky vibes 👏🏼📚💝. On Page 22

Murtagh: The World of Eragon | Christopher Paolini
post image

My current reads...

I've finished Murtagh, which I will review this weekend.

Just realized the book, To Shape A Dragon's Breath is 511 pages...a BitsyChunkster! It's the first book in its series.

The long awaited (for me to purchase) Bless Me, Ultima. A standalone novel.

The Third Book in the Riley Thorn mysteries.

The Sixth Book in the Old Kingdom series.

Thank You @debinhawaii for #5JoysFriday & for the tag 💖🌺💝.

1- Fruit 😋💝.

2- the magic of stumbling across something you have been looking for after having given up the search 🪄💖.

3- The 6th book in the Old Kingdom series has been added to my library 🪄📚💝 still super excited about this 😂📚💝.

4- meeting a stranger in a parking lot who claimed to be psychic and who read me too well 🪄🤩🆒.

AnnCrystal 5- had to go to Walmart for necessities that we haven't yet sourced elsewhere (I know 👀🥺🤐). Checked the entertainment dept. while there (Of course). There wasn't anything two-spirited, but there were woman/culture writers, fantasy, Spanish language books, etc. I know that Walmart is rolling back DEI, yet they haven't seemed to make it about their products, at least not yet. Perhaps they're reconsidering🥳🤞🏼.

AnnCrystal *anything two-spirited (LGBTQTS+) that I noted...there may have been, and it escaped my notice.

Sace Fruit is awesome! I have discovered that the best way to find something is to stop looking for it (or buy a replacement 🙄) 5mo
TheBookHippie We use Walmart it‘s the least of the evils here. Plus I use delivery and it‘s the jobs of the immigrants here. 🤷🏻‍♀️ not perfect, but local is hugely expensive and owned by right wing extremist. 5mo
AnnCrystal @AmyG truly indeed 👏🏼😉👍🏼🪄💖. 5mo
AnnCrystal @Sace I absolutely love fruit 😋👍🏼. And that does seem like the best way to find something 🧐🪄🤩...I really do hate replacing something I already have. 5mo
AnnCrystal @TheBookHippie I read that, “Walmart aims to power 50% of its operations with renewable energy by 2025 and 100% by 2035, while also aiming to reach zero emissions from all its vehicles and transportation network, including long-haul trucks, by 2040.“

We are trying our best to support mom and pop shops even more now, unfortunately, we've experienced some impossibly rude customer service from some. Thursday, we left a shop quite upset. 👇

AnnCrystal I wondered, does this guy want to sell his merchandise, or is he trying to run an exhibit for show only. Perhaps he assumed we didn't have the funds?? What he did have prices on were extremely expensive... (edited) 5mo
Bookwormjillk Fruit is the best! 5mo
Texreader Your No 4: that‘s amazing! What fun! 5mo
AmyG @TheBookHippie Same here….we just have Walmart and Costco. I try to buy atCostco as much as we can…but we still need Walmart. 5mo
AnnCrystal @Bookwormjillk absolutely 😋👍🏼💝. 5mo
AnnCrystal @Texreader it was strangely spectacular, 🤩🪄💖. 5mo
TheBookHippie @AmyG Costco is 60 minutes away one way here 😵‍💫 I do order online some things from there. 5mo

AnnCrystal 5- Book Shopping! I have found some real gems over the years at big-box and grocery stores, yet it was wonderful to seek out and purchase books that are actually on my radar... deciding which book to select from my long list of TBR to-buy list was a bit of a task 😂...

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.

Thank You @monalyisha For Creating This Play & Share Card.

1- It was little more than three miles from the Wall into the Old Kingdom, but that was enough.

2- They say the first of my kind was a woman named Alasdair, a human raised by hawks.

3- A boy went missing the night of the storm.

4- I remain committed to my goal of saving humanity from itself, but my latest efforts are meeting with mixed results.👇

AnnCrystal 5- Matilda Pages pushed open the door of Pages & Co. and breathed in deeply, taking in the familiar scent of just-blown-out candles, dark chocolate, and, of course, books. 12mo
AnnCrystal 1- Garth Nix's Sabriel, part one of the Old Kingdom series. 12mo
AnnCrystal 2- Amelia Atwater-Rhodes's Hawksong, part one of The Kiesha'ra series. 12mo

Thank you @debinhawaii for creating this fun play-card and thanks @Deblovestoread for tagging me.

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🤞. 👇

AnnCrystal 3- Learned last night that CBS will premiere the new Matlock with Kathy Bates on Sunday, September. 22, 24. Been waiting for that show!

4- Saw a wild cat today, who watched me with these beautiful gem like eyes and a “trickster's“ glee. Wacky me recalled Mogget from the Old Kingdom books by Garth Nix.

5- Discovered a new song today and fell in love with the lyrics, “I believe in music“ sung by B.J. Thomas written by Mac Davis.

Deblovestoread Oh my, I haven‘t heard that song in so long nor thought about those two artist. Great memory! 12mo

Thank You @Eggs for Creating this Play and Share card.

1 - Really, any book by the tagged author.

2 - While I wouldn't say, disliked...I read all the Twilight books (and watched all the movies) by Stephenie Meyer, and the story was good, yet I didn't go crazy for the craze.

3 - Old Kingdom Books by Garth Nix 📚📚💝.
