Welcome to Litsy!

Working on reading more print from my personal bookshelves and randomly picked up this book. I purchased it from a library book sale and have had it for years. Thought I‘d read a few pages to get the gist and read 7 chapters. It seems like it‘s going to be a wild story!

All I could think of while reading this book is how the technology used to 'take down' Kyle *actually exists in real life*.

Made a stop by the Friends shop and picked up a few goodies. #bookhaul

I couldn't put this down! It was really intense and really good. 4 🌟 📚 #ya

I started this earlier today and I'm hooked. It's so interesting!! Kind of getting a slightly-futuristic Gossip Girl/Pretty Little Liars vibe??

☀️🌴One of my summer goals is to put a dent in my TBR Pile • What are your favorite reading snacks? #snackfever • 😎#summerreading 🌊

Went into it thinking it was about technology etc and although it is a little bit, definitely more about friendships and making mistakes. Pretty good story but some parts a little tedious.

A morality tale of the dangers of technology. What happens when you're being framed and the world is against you? Now imagine if social media and society's tech doesn't believe you either? Can you still fight back?

Skip it.
For a better take on public shaming, check out Jon Ronson's "So You've Been Publicly Shamed" (NF).

Finally crawling out of a reading slump to show my face on Litsy. I'm liking this book so far! I'm just really hoping the current most likely suspect is a red herring and there's a twist ahead!

I liked this, despite the English teacher in me being ridiculously frustrated at the imagining of how people in the future might speak. Not a comment on the author at all, but a comment what could be the reality of where we're heading.

Back to working on my ARC TBR pile and this one's next. I love books set in a near future where something is a little off. This one has big brother tech and it's set in a NYC prep school, I couldn't resist. My coffee break reading was too short though. #teenlibrarian

Electronic bookmail is still #bookmail and yay!!

This was a fast paced, fun read.

Reading and lunching before I have to go teach another class. 🤤📖❤️

Happy Monday! 😁

LOVED this book and highly recommend it by the way. 🦄

This is set in a technology advanced future. Docs are THE personal connection device- think the iPhone of tomorrow. And yet, it seems oddly familiar because even in today's techno world we're all so attached to our devices. In this part the main character and her not-boyfriend have gone out without their devices for the day. The inability to constantly update her online profiles or text is driving her crazy... I'm seriously digging this book, btw.

A brilliant and unflinching look at technology, social media, feminism, and friendship, set in a near-future Brooklyn. Like the best parts of Gossip Girl but packing a deeper emotional punch.
