Welcome to Litsy!

Taking one uninterrupted hour this morning before I have to spend the rest of the day not reading. #holidayseason

November TBR.

Also, one of these things is not like the other. 🤣🤦🏻‍♀️

It was an overall very underwhelming read for me, although the story and characters held a great potential. The language was somewhat dull and the characters development was poor and shallow. I wonder how much that is due to the translation though... what a pity, it could've been really awesome!

The story is interesting enough so far to keep me going, but I really wish it was better written/translated. The language is a bit dull and descriptions of characters as well as the world in which this happens fall rather flat...

I really enjoyed this! It's a book club pick that I'm so glad someone else suggested, because it wasn't one I'd heard of before. It took a lot of traditional fantasy tropes and did far different things with them than I expected... in good ways. I loved adding a diverse fantasy read to our current book club theme. I'm excited to read the next book in the trilogy, but sad that the third hasn't yet been translated into English.

What a lovely surprise I got when I opened my latest commute-read just now! I didn't know this book had chapter illustrations 😍

Morning plans. 📚☕️ 👍🏼

My sister gave me a bunch of day-old Panera pastries and I warmed up what I thought was a cinnamon scone, only to find it was a pumpkin spice bagel. I'm not disappointed, but I felt silly because I made the discovery as I started trying to eat it with a fork... 😜

I just started this one--a book club pick for the end of the month--and now I have a total of seven books in progress. 😳Gotta finish a couple of these this weekend! #Litsypartyofone goals!

I'm enjoying this so far--it's fascinating to read a Japanese fantasy novel, drawing on folklore outside my usual fantasy reads. And isn't this opening illustration gorgeous?#readingintranslation #diversebooks

Guys. I went to the library to get one book. Just one. I don't understand what happened. #libraryhaul
