27 Hours | 
so-soA faraway planet, a deadline, "monsters", and the ramifications of colonialism.
The world set up and history was great, dealing with the lies colonizers tell later generations. But, this felt like half of a book. I can't even call the end a cliffhanger because the main story wasn't resolved.
There was a lot of hooking up in the middle of life and death situations, really too much. I did love the representation shown in this future. ?????
Sometimes 27 hours is #quick other times not so much.

Finally got a library card. For some reason, I didn't think they'd let me without an AZ license, and then I finally went into the branch across the street from work. I spent way too long browsing the YA and romance sections. Typical.
Two of these are rereads, and 27 Hours has been on my tbr for a while. #lovemylibrary
27 Hours by Tristina Wright has been on my tbr since before it came out, and I can't wait to read it. It's about a group of queer teens who must battle to save their fellow humans on a planet called Sahara. The cover is gorgeous. Thank you for doing this #giveaway @Librarybelle ! #50k1k
so-soSome complicated feelings about this book:
Pros - all the queer teens (it was all the teens)
Cons - the colonization story at the core is a case of a classic sci-fi metaphor, but remains the sort that puts colonization in a fantastical realm. I get why it happens, but I also get the frustration people can have with it.
So, mixed feelings. Will definitely look into the next book when it comes out, though.
Tristina Wright (@TristinaWright on Twitter) tweeted the following: Book Pitch: [THE LAST TV SHOW YOU WATCHED] meets [THE LAST BOOK YOU READ] + [YOUR FAVORITE ANIME OR MANGA]
The responses have been amazing so I encourage you to find her on Twitter and check out her retweets. I also though some Littens might like to play along.
pickFantastic sci-fi romp and great rep , harrumble for queer teens in space. 🚀🌈
I had a wonderful day yesterday at the Queen City Litsy meetup. Park City Books, local #indie bookstore is quaint and lovely. Amazing new author and book, 27 hours by Tristina Wright. Fabulous Litsywomen met and the lunch followed by discussion were refreshing and enlightening! Book people are the best people!
Thank you to Rachel for hosting!
Some of the goodies from today's Litsy meet-up! The tagged book is the author featured at the early author event! I can't wait to tell my kiddos about it! #teachersoflitsy #booknerd #bookRoadTrip
What an awesome time! Thanks for introducing me to a local #indie Park Road Books, Rachel. I really enjoyed listening to and meeting Tristina Wright and getting a signed book. I had tons of fun at lunch with our NC/SC Litsy crew! I‘m sorry I had to duck out early.
If you haven‘t done a Litsy meetup in your area, I highly recommend doing one!
Had a great time with the Queen City Litsy Meet Up today. I got to share my favorite #indie bookstore with fellow Littens and meet Tristina Wright. Her book looks really interesting. We'll definitely have to do this again!
#waiting for the Queen City Litsy Meet Up tomorrow and the opportunity to meet this author. Her debut novel has serious potential. #uncannyoctober
pick⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This book has a beautifully diverse cast of characters, an intriguing setting, and a plot centered around colonialism and undoing the brainwashing that colonists‘ descendants tend to be raised under. It wasn‘t perfect - the writing feels rather “debut” - but I genuinely enjoyed 27 Hours and will definitely continue the series.
