Welcome to Litsy!

I‘m calling it! #bookspin #doublespin a #d100 and my #bookspinbingo ✨ 14 books don‘t seem like many for July, but I‘ll take it. On to August!

Wow. Abercrombie rarely disappoints, and he‘s at the top of his form here. Fantasy with MANY fascinating, morally grey characters who consistently surprise? Oh yes. You can almost smell the gunpowder (yes, there is) and taste the blood in your mouth from that dagger someone slipped in your back. They call Abercrombie Lord Grimdark for a reason. If that‘s your jam, this book is as good as it gets. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #d100

Got my #bookspinbingo list settled. The top item is The Axe of Ice. Can you tell my library is having a ‘read a book in translation‘ challenge this month? 😆 What can I say: I wanted MANY options. #bookspin #doublespin #bookspinbingo #d100

I‘m calling it! A good month for reading. I picked up my #bookspin #doublespin a couple of #bookspinbingo lines and both my #d100 challenges. Book of Night was a lot of urban fantasy fun with antiheroine Charlie Hall. May I also have a quickened shadow? I won‘t use it for naughty things, I promise 🤞⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This fantasy takes a while to build up steam due to all the world-building, but it pulls you along as it gets going. The creepy magic system, archipelago world, and strange creatures will captivate you even more than the humans (and there are many). I‘m not sure how Stewart will top her Big Bad here (an emperor who sucks the life from his people to make FLESH PUPPETS 😱). But I might need to snatch up the sequel to watch her try. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #d100

My first #d100 of the month was pretty good. I enjoyed the idea of a fairy-tale wood just outside Portland, filled with bandits, coyote soldiers, and a parliament of fowl. The central story, Prue‘s quest to recapture her brother Mac from an evil queen bent on controlling the wood, was well-constructed but felt a little long. There‘s nothing new here, but the pieces come together well. ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Well, sugar. May didn‘t go great - no #doublespin, no #d100 gains. We‘ll see if this month picks up. Happy June!💐 #bookspin #doublespin #bookspinbingo #d100

It‘s kinda scribbly, but my list is DONE! #bookspin #doublespin #bookspinbingo #d100
