I have been reading so much Sci-Fi and Fantasy lately - and while they are probably my favorite genres - I wish to learn something.

Picked this up almost a year ago and intended it as a "book club" style read with my sister.

We never do get around to those. ?

As I pick up this book I find myself wondering how it is that I got here. These books are well written, don't get me wrong, but the plot is so random and difficult to follow that I'm starting to feel as clueless as the characters. Is that the point? Either way, THESE BOOKS MAKE ME FEEL THINGS.

@the-flashley Have you made any more progress on this series? 😂😂

My darling sister is throwing in impromptu readathon during this cold snap. You can follow along at reademandeatblog.com or participate by posting your own reading material today using #frozenwordnerd 🤓

It has been one year since my childhood princess left the world. This one is going to be a teary eyed read.

RIP Carrie. Never truly gone. ❤

A tiny leatherbound pocket edition of A Christmas Carol, from my thoughtful mother. Specifically *NOT* a Christmas present. Haha!

Might as well get into the spirit.

🤓🎅🏻🎄

There's a floof in my shelf of Doctor Who stories! 😍 #catsoflitsy

It's that time of year my friends! Anyone else have a favorite festive read?

🎄❄🤓

This book was very cute. I enjoyed reading about little Alice and Millie's adventures. :)

Recommendation from my Mom. Feeling thankful for my bookish family.❤

Happy Thanksgiving to my fellow Litsy Canadians!

🤓

Two down, one to go.

This book did not answer my questions, AT ALL. I mean, I have more information, but many more questions as well.

One thing Jeff Vandermeer does well is to make you feel like you have to keep reading.

Next installment already ordered on Amazon.

Frick.

😂

Getting back into the swing of things after a long spell of not reading. Our new kitten Paul is assisting.

Stranded at the tire place this morning whilst I get an alignment done.

Oh, darn. 🤓

I decided to read this book because it was the oldest in my large stack of books that were purchased and never read. It's a terrible habit I can't seem to quit.

I was pleasantly surprised (as I'd mostly forgotten the subject matter) to find this very much to my taste.

The heroine is relatable and clever, if at times a bit too wistful for my liking.

I loved the character of Er Lang and would rate this as a pick based on his banter alone.

💚

Winding down from the long weekend with a delicious treat and an interesting read. 🤓🍦

1. Prince Edward County, Ontario, CANADA ❄
2. Ready Player One by Ernest Cline
3. American Gods by Neil Gaiman
4. Murder on the Orient Express by Agatha Christie - this only counts because I read it in grade 7 and have loved it ever since. 😍
5. I almost always prefer the book but enjoyed the Lord of the Rings movies.
6. PERSEPOLIS RISING - The latest installment in the Expanse series by James S A Corey.

#letstalkaboutbooksbaby

This book has upset me in the best possible way. I fear I may never have have closure and "I am not prepared".

Please Blizzard? Give us a sequel!

Ahhh Saturday. 🍷

#rosereading

My kind of Friday night. 👌🖤

"She said that she would dance with me if I brought her red roses."

I'm not one for short stories normally, but this tragic tale is one I like to re-read often. It certainly doesn't hurt that this Barnes and Noble Collectors Edition is absolutely stunning. ?

On to the next one! This one selected by my handsome boyfriend since I am still a bit hoodwinked from my previous read. 🙃

#awildmeltycatappears #catsoflitsy #worldofwarcraft

@The-Flashley thanks for pointing me in the direction of this strange series.

I have to admit, I rate this as a pick somewhat lightly. I'm beginning to understand the varying reactions to this volume.

I can't tell if I thoroughly enjoyed this book or if I'm just hoodwinked by it's strangeness. The ending left so many questions but at the same time felt so very right. I will definitely finish this series.

👽

Snuggling and reading with this crazy floof today. She looks how I feel about this strange book.

Litsy, meet Agapaw Christie! 😻

Anyone else out there with pets named after their favorite authors/books/characters?

#catsoflitsy #floof

This book is so strange...I'm kind of loving it! @The-Flashley 🤓

I will almost always pick these little bite sized adventures. Filled with fun characters that I already love. :)

Enjoying the beautiful sunshine on my break at work. Love the vintage cover illustrations on these old stories. 😍

BOOK MAIL!! 🤓

My beautiful sister recently moved away and today is her birthday. So naturally, whilst browsing Amazon for her present-to-be, I decided to gift wrap myself a couple books as well. You can find her at @Read.Em.And.Eat ! (Her blog is pretty outstanding too)

Annihilation by Jeff Vandermeer is my first Litsy recommended purchase. Thanks to @The-Flashley for an intriguing review. 😉

Happy Friyay!

🖤

This book is like a good thick cut steak, pan seared and oven baked to perfection. I'm still reeling from how delicious it was. 👌

From the world, to the characters, and the depth of feeling, everything in this story is so wonderfully balanced. I have already ordered the other two in the series, and am eagerly awaiting their arrival! 💙

Read this book if you're into:

✔ Strong Female Characters
✔ Political Struggle
✔ Fictional Mythology

Picked this up as something to sink my teeth into for a day of rest.

This book was completely immersive. From the Prologue you're invited in to the brutal but heartwrenching trials of the Frostwolves. You can help but be moved by the collective sense of duty to each other that the Orc clan shares.

I would definitely recommend this book to any Warcraft fan, or fantasy reader!

Lok'Tar Ogar!

💚

Feeling under the weather today and taking it easy. This book is surprisingly heartwrenching for a story about supposedly blood thirsty Orcs. Feeling some love for the Frostwolf Clan and enjoying the easy reading style of this author.

Anyone else enjoying a fandom-based story?

😷📚

Hello, Sweetie. 💛

#dooweeooo #catsoflitsy

This series makes me happy.

I've seen a lot of reviews online saying this is a "cleanup book" While I agree that the first half is a bit slower and there isn't as much life threatening, pulse hammering action, I still think there's plenty of character development and plot advancement to make it a very enjoyable read.

I will certainly be pre-ordering the next in the series as soon as it's available.

Thank you, James S.A. Corey.

Good morning, Littens!

Getting in some quiet time before heading to work. 🤓 Babylon's Ashes is starting to get tense!

What is everyone reading this Sunday?

Christjen Avasarala will forever be one of my favorite fictional female protagonists.

🙌

Take me back to the Rocinante...

Book 6 in one of the most engaging, thrilling, and nuanced sci-fi epics that I have ever had the pleasure of reading. A fast favorite of anyone I've recommended it to.

😻

Finally getting around to this one. It's been waiting patiently on my vanity for me to find the time.

First teen book I've read in a while (mostly because I'm prejudiced). I have to say...I don't hate it. ☕📖🤓
