Welcome to Litsy!

I struggle with this one.

I didn't connect with any of the characters, in fact I kept thinking that if it weren't for Kyle (who I hate, by the way) this whole story wouldn't exist.

The slow pace, character driven plot just didn't grab me like the Farseer Trilogy did.

However, I understand that Hobb develops her stories over time, and I can see a lot of potential in this trilogy and its importance in the overall Elderling series.

Even more magical than part one!
It's high spring and the art shows every spectacular detail of the beauty of the secret garden.
Combined with Collin's new found strength and appreciation for life it's a bitter sweet ending.

This has always been one of my favorite childhood stories.
So when I discovered it was turned into graphic novels, I knew I had to get my hands on it.

The adaptation is incredibly faithful and features stunning artwork.
I found myself just as immersed in this secret garden as I was in Frances Hodgson Burnett's original.

I'm thrilled that I already own part 2.

I‘m not much of a scary book connoisseur, but here are a few that have stuck in my mind.
1. The Dead Zone 😱😱😱 Page turner!
2. Hard Truth 😱😱😱😱 Very unsettling murder mystery
3. Rebecca 😱😱😱 WTAF Mrs. Danvers?!?

What a magnificent tale of loss, grief and ethical uncertainty.

Typically, I'm not a fan of the literary genre, but this one really fascinated me.
This enigmatic, heartfelt journey through the Amazon, being immersed in a different culture while grappling with personal inner turmoil just worked for me.

Now I will also need to explore Bel Canto.

1. Scholastic book fairs and the book flyers - I‘m still searching for the high these two things gave me 😂
2. The smell and feel of new school supplies. Each folder and notebook was color coordinated and the “ugly” colors were always my math ones 🤣
3. New clothes for the school year! Omg! Is there a better feeling than feeling 100% confident in your first day of school outfit?!

This was a fun trip down memory lane @dabbe Thank you 😁

1. School was my safe space. I lived for Monday mornings.
2. As a teacher, making relationships. If I can get my fifth graders to laugh, I am victorious.
3. When a book I'm reading causes a reaction. Boom. Mic Drop. I love teaching ela and social studies.

@Roary47 I had my tp roll on my desk yesterday while I was putting my room in order. Thought of you.

1. Scholastic book fair.
2. Silent reading. Favorite part of the day.
3. Watching one act plays/airbands in high school put on by the drama club.
Tagging some people to keep the ball rolling. What are your favorite school memories, or things you love about teaching or parenting school age kids.

Dark, atmospheric with a touch of the supernatural. A Mystery braided with Gothic dread.
The only complaint I have is the slow-burn, I was more in the mood for an immediate adrenaline hit.

🤯🤗Absolutely LOVED everything about this Jack McEvoy #1/Bosch Universe #5 book!! Highly recommended!

Not sure if I‘ll be able to hold out & to read them in Universe order (#s 24 & 32😳). Regardless, I‘ll be buying them on my next bookstore run ‘cause my grandma will be waiting for it soon😂 I left it with her Saturday & she‘s a very quick reader.
