Welcome to Litsy!

I am posting one book per day from my extensive to-be-read collection. No description or reason for wanting to read the book. Some are old and some will be new. Don't judge me - I have a lot of books.

🦖Excellent use of various types of science like: palaeontology, astronomy, physics, biology, engineering, & more.
🦖Meticulously develops science behind the main plot line.
🦖Diversity in characters.
🦖Story focuses too much on the science & build-up towards main plot point w/little growth in actual story.
🦖Obviously 1st in instalment & doesn‘t work well as just a book.
🦖Unlabelled time jumps can be disorienting.
🦖Not bad overall.
🦖3/5

This is so glorious. It‘s a bit cheesy, but also enjoyably intelligent.

I can‘t express how excited I am to start this!!

So, some teens discover a dinosaur fossil. Scientists end up with the fossil, run a bunch of tests only to discover that the fossil belongs to a dino from a different planet!! Dinosaurs & deep space, my friends. Can‘t get any better than that (hopefully)! 😍😍

Out all of the SFF books I've gotten these past couple of months, these two have some of my favourite covers. Can't wait to binge this genre in July. 😻😻

WOW! If you love hard sci-fi, read this book! It's got everything: aliens, abandoned alien bases, and a trip to Mars! The characters are funny and loveable: you panic when one is in danger, and are relieved when they turn out ok. The book isn't too long, a little over 400 pages, and is fast-paced. I definetly recommend for any sci-fi fans out. For anyone else, if you haven't tried any sci-fi before, start with this book!

So I finished my newest Mercedes Lackey book last night, and jumped from fantasy right into hard sci-fi with Boundary. The story of a paleontologist who discovers the fossil of an honest-to-god alien sucked me in almost instantly. I'm already half-way done! Next, find my Nocturnal book and try to read some of that.☺

"A.J., are you making a pass at me?" she asked, just as quietly as he'd spoken.
His first impulse was to toss out his usual cavalier remark. Something inside him grabbed that impulse, slammed it to the ground, and beat it desperately into unconsciousness.
