I received an ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.No Country For Old Gnomes (The Tales of Pell #2) is the hilariously awesome sequel to Kill the Farm Boy. This time around we're following the gnomes of Skyr as they attempt to retake their home from the halflings. Gustave is about to face his first real test as the Goat King - will he bring peace or civil war to the kingdom. I can't believe I got approved for this on NetGalley. Book one was absolutely hilarious and exactly my thin...

Thank you NetGalley and Random House Publishing Group for this arc.This was a whimsical, fantastical read that should have taken less time to finish. But I just had to keep putting it down to laugh. As I'm not really a belly-laugher, my husband also kept checking in on me to make sure I was okay. He ended up laughing along with me and slowed me down even further. I have not read the first book of Pell Tales so this was read as a stand alone for me (but I am looking forward to getting my hands on...

Silly little gnomes, fantasies for kids! I am such a sucker for children’s fantasy books. Thanks to NetGalley and publisher for the copy!

I generally only post reviews of books if I love them, or they really challenge me in some way, but I got an ARC of this so review it I shall.Meh.The first book in the series was also meh. It was mostly along the lines of a satire as done by the Scary Movie guys - various pop culture references and plenty of leaning on the 4th wall, but no real bite to it the way someone like Pratchett does satire. This was in the same ball park.On the whole I think I liked it better. The characters were deeper,...

I received a complimentary copy of this e-book ARC from the author, publisher and Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.When two dwarf brothers are sent away from their homes from evil halflings, they team up with a group of crazy and silly creatures to try and save their home and Skyr from them. Will they succeed? Read on and find out for yourself.This was a pretty good and silly fantasy novel. If you enjoy these types of books, be sure to check this book out available now at your local li...

I enjoyed number 3 so much that I came back to read number 2....but the cast of characters was so big for me that I kept thinking, ok, now this one is a what? gnome, halfing? which I think is like a hobbit? A lot of cute ideas, but really busy and tiring to read

Punny to the last drop! A laugh out loud romp full of ridiculousness at every turn. Can't wait for more.

Looking for some fantasy that is far off the beaten path? Quirky, humorous and filled with clichés, NO COUNTRY FOR OLD GNOMES by Delilah S. Dawson and Kevin Hearne is whimsy at its best and is either going to nail your funny bone or send your eyes rolling skyward.Halfings with an organized crime unit, gnomes being displaced, forced from their homes and the power they once enjoyed. Can the King Gustave the Goat save his kingdom from ruin or is it time to usher in a different world?Some will ventu...

I received a copy of this from Netgalley and the publisher in exchange for my open and honest review."Red sky before night, no need for a fight. Red sky at dawn, don’t yawn. Halflings probably set your barn afire, so gather your war ponies, tie back their manes, and attack–then, my good gnomes, you burn them back.”Gnute Yakkin, in The Compendium of Gnomeric Resistance RhymesFirst, let me say that I have a deep and intense love of humor, satire, and cheekiness. I am a smart ass in the most profou...

I...don't know how to admit this so I'm just going to say it: I might have unconsciously started speaking in umlauts after reading this book. RESPECT THE UMLAUT!But seriously. No, I'm kidding about seriousness. This book is a quagmire of word play and in-jokes and it is GLORIOUS. Goats who become kings and egregious feuds nobody remembers the beginning of and witches and ghosts and dentally-minded vampires. Plus, you know, gnomes and halflings.A little death. A little destruction of property. A

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an ARC. 3.75 StarsNo Country for Old Gnomes is the second book in the Tales of Pell trilogy. If you haven't read the first (Kill the Farm Boy), you should, but it's not necessary to enjoy this installment. In this story we follow Gnomes, Halflings, Sheep-people, and Dwarfs on an adventure to... well, you should read it and find out. This book is a wonderfully funny satire on fairy tales, with a ton of pop culture references, puns, and good old fashion...

Free ARC provided through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.Review:I read the Iron Druid chronicles from Kevin Hearne last year and loved it, so when I saw this on NetGalley, I just knew I had to read it! I am a first time reader of Delilah S. Dawson, and I’m already a new fan. Although the Tales from Pell series is vastly different from Iron Druid, it still has the witty humor that I’ve come to expect from Kevin Hearne. In fact, No Country for Old Gnomes is by far even funnier. “Mother...

I FINISHED TALES OF PELL!!! (in the wrong order, and yeah it did take me eight weeks but I DID IT) this series never failed to make me laugh, and i'm so glad i discovered it at the local library and that all three were available because damn i will never look at goats, otters or umlauts the same way again. i loved the hilarious storytelling and the even more hilarious characters, and this series is so underrated so show it some hype!!

I got a copy of this book from netgalley and was happy to get a chance to read and review it. I'd read Kill the Farm Boy, and this is a sequel, but it could also stand by itself well - we see some of the "Farm Boy" characters, but the main characters in this one are new, and I really liked them. The primary conflict is between the inventive gnomes, and the halflings who are trying to take over We also meet a dwarf, a gryphon, a part sheep, and others, in a punny quest.

OMG, listen to the audiobook for the full effect. One of the funniest books I’ve ever read/listened to.
