Welcome to Litsy!

About to read this, so I can mark off Azerbaijan in another reading challenge I have been trying to complete for a few years.

#StorySettings Day 1: Reading at the Leland #SkiResort Park in California back in early 2020. One of my great fantasy reads.

I read 8 books this month!
💜 5 from my #mtTBR
💜 3 library books
💜 1 audio, 5 ebook and 2 physical books
💜 3 from #readyourkindle challenge

I was intrigued by the nesting doll style of so many of these stories. The roots lie in oral storytelling tradition, and I could imagine how these stories might be performed and where they could be embellished for the audience. Overall enjoyable reading.

I was SO excited to get my hands on a new book by Yangsze Choo, since I loved THE NIGHT TIGER. In THE FOX WIFE, Choo draws on the Chinese mythology of foxes to tell a compelling, lyrical story of Snow, a fox in a revenge mission, and Bao, an investigator of mysterious deaths that may be the work of a fox. With an evocative atmosphere and complex characters but deliberate pacing, this is a book to sit down with in long stretches and get lost in.

We went to Barnes & Noble for my birthday today. I‘m pretty happy with my purchases.

Really looking forward to this.

Okay, I LOVED that. While the Fables series continues to pull characters from fairy tales, this arc felt very much like a truly original story, and a wonderful journey for the previously overlooked protagonist. It wove seamlessly into the continuing story of the series but really took the time to tell its particular entry in a style that felt like vintage tales of knights and adventure. A new favourite in the series' collected editions.
