Welcome to Litsy!

Silver on the Tree by Susan Cooper is the last book in the 'Dark is Rising' sequence. I loved this series and have read it so many times, both as a child and as an adult.

The #20series20days reminded me I needed to finish Susan Cooper's Dark is Rising series. And I am in the mood for some middle grade fantasy.
Early in the novel there is a racist event where a man complains about all the Pakis coming to England and stealing jobs. The man's racist views are connected to evil on the rise. This novel was written in 1977. 😞 Everything he says sounds like things we hear today.

This in the final battle for the light in hope of overcoming the dark. Bringing back all the characters from previous books Coopers final book weaves a story that is just wonderful.

This series is between a pick and so-so for me. I found the characters a lot more interesting than the story. However, I‘m sure my nitpicks are due to the fact that I‘m not even close to the target age, so would recommend this to middle grade readers.

This was bare ground yesterday 😒❄️.
I‘ve closed the library and instead I‘ll spend the day in comfy pants with this book and a fire 👍🔥.

Sadly, I only have one #FunkoPop character. I'm afraid if I start collecting them, I won't be able to stop! So here's Baby Groot with a few tree titles from my library. #BookandFunko #SeptemberLibrary17 Did you know you can make a Funko Pop avatar of yourself? I haven't tried it, but it looks like fun. https://next.funko.com/pop-yourself

Here are my choices for #bookcolortag! Thanks for the colour options @UwannaPublishme 😉 I was going to go with just one, but then decided to do all three! Are there any Litsy newbies that want to join in? I'm looking at you @thenamesbondvagabond @Joyfulmimi @mellisarock ! No pressure, feel free to pick any colour you want. 👍🏽

#5thBookinaSeries I've read all these books which come 5th in a series except The Scarab Path.

Decided to count Dawntreader as 5th based on Narnian chronology as opposed to The Horse and his Boy which was the 5th published. I just like Dawntreader better. I spent an unreasonable amount of time making that decision.

I read this for the first time in college(1990s) for my Children's Lit class. When I discovered it was the final book in a series, I decided to read the rest --- in backwards order! I loved the series and decided because of it that fantasy wasn't so bad after all!
