Welcome to Litsy!

Today was an emotional day. A few months back one of my guys passed after a long battle. Today we had a memorial service for him. Earlier someone asked me about books that provoked emotions for me. I could think of a lot of series finales (Dark Tower, Harry Potter etc) but Love Minus Eighty is one that really snuck up on me. It‘s more subtle but still touching and explores the complexities of modern life, despite its near future setting. RIP27❤️.

Morning reading!

Loved this book. What's going to really happen when technology takes over our lives and no one communicates face to face anymore, worse yet, what happens when you die and they can bring you back only if you have enough money?! Best word in this book, bridesicle! That says it all!!!

A YA/New Adult love story that's really about #allthefeelings. In a future world, the deceased are kept on ice until a sponsor rich enough to pay for the recovery & rehab of the "bridesicle" can be found. Kevin T. Collins (who sounds like a desperate John Cusack - total beta male!); Eileen Stevens (who may creep you out); and Ali Ahn are perfectly cast in this SFF tale that @Guildedearlobe put on his #audiobookpantheon altar! #TBT

currently listening to on audible. Not sure if it's the narrator but I tend to prefer other books and I'm not picking this up frequently although the story idea is very good... maybe a paperback would have been better.

Sci-fi is not an area of fiction that easily draws me in. But, this book drew me in with ease and kept my attention throughout; it is readily accessible to those of us who do not read sci-fi ever or hardly at all. Bizarre, character-driven and fun to read.

{More of my book thoughts are on my blog}

Sometimes a book is so great that you don't want to talk about it. No breakdowns or analyses, no critical assessments. You just want to live with it, not letting explanations lessen it somehow. Just go listen to it!
