Welcome to Litsy!

This is just not interesting me. I put it down for a few weeks and had pretty much zero desire to pick it up again even though I'm like 100 pages in. Plus, I still have no idea who the guy on the cover is; he's either white-washed, has the wrong hair colour, and/or too old to be any of the main male characters in the book. How annoying.

Literally chose my next read by reaching into one of my boxes of books (from recently moving) and picking the first one I found that I haven't read yet. I've read one other book by the queer Canadian fantasy author and loved it. I hope this one is good! #QueerBooks #Fantasy #CanLit

Adventure, Pirates, a New World with a ferret that has a snake for a tail (yes you read that right), quick witted lead female with a dash of Romance?? YES PLEASE! My only complaint would be Sophie's overly nosey nature. Sometimes it was a little over the top, prompting eye-rolling and/or a head smack. However, her blunt delivery when talking or asking questions were hilarious. All in all this book was pretty great and I was sad to see it end.

These are the books that jumped in my mind for books that take place on an island. A Wizard of Earthsea, Abarat, and Child of a Hidden Sea all take place on a grouping of islands. Island of the Blue Dolphins has haunted me ever since I read it in elementary school. #seasonsreadings2016 @RealLifeReading

Our heroine continues to be a bit of a jerk, which I think continues to be kind of the point. Stormwrack is such an intriguing world, and its connections to our own are so deftly drawn, that I'm down for whatever Dellamonica wants to do with it.

And it seems like I'm seeing LeGuin everywhere recently.
