Welcome to Litsy!

It‘s finally the weekend so now I can binge this. I‘m also excited to use the bookmark one of the ladies at my work book club made.

Happy Baba Yaga season, dear Littens!
I've baked rye bread, and there are gallons of tea: in other words, business as usual.

This is a fun middle grade book full of magic, secrets, night markets, monsters, & a pair of siblings you can‘t help but root for. Juniper is an enchanter & is forced to leave her twin brother behind when she is sent to study magic. Unwilling to be separated from her, her twin Rafferty begins an apprenticeship near the academy where Juniper is studying. Needles to say, things get complicated & with the promise of more, this is a solid first book.

It seems almost cruel to tag this very hard-to-find book, but it has such a poignant little ghost in it.

Thanks to Tor and NetGalley for the eARC of Queen Demon. This was an amazing follow up to The Witch King. You MUST read The Witch King first.

Magical and cozy stories about closeness to and love of nature, friendship and adventures. The books had some things that weren't handled so well (prejudices against other people, intolerance to different eating habits, the handling of the financial situation and others), but those are nice and simple fantasy stories.

Spotted the book I recently finished in a bookstore ✨!
💫Chronicles of Whetherwhy: The Age of Enchantment is an entertaining book featuring a magical school in a fantasy world. 💫

Stanmore couldn‘t have stood less of chance.

However, much as I loved Idle Grounds, Moominland knocked it out of the running on the left side of the board. AND, much as I loved Moominland, I expect my Wild Card to sideswipe it in the end.

The drama!!!

June ended up being more about quantity than quality. I‘m still surpassing my reading goals but I didn‘t LOVE anything this month (other than Anne, of course, which was a reread). Cunning Folk seemed like it was going to really do it for me, for a while, but it fell short stylistically.

Better luck next month, me!
