Welcome to Litsy!

I really enjoyed this. It‘s YA, so not nearly as complex as Barclay‘s other novels, but I thought it was still a good thriller. As YA, it‘s a quick read. The point of view alternated, mostly between Chipper and Jeff, but I think there was an occasional other POV thrown in every so often. Unfortunately, there wasn‘t really an end to the book, as it left off on a cliffhanger. I will, of course, pick up the sequel

Two nights ago, I didn't win the lit award I was up for (no biggie), but I did get some high praise about my book from someone in a high place (stay tuned to see where that goes.) Anyway, I was walking around downtown Toronto after the gala (wanted to whine into some wine), and found a bar called Library (Kismet! Door handle pictured.) Among other crime authors, I met Linwood Barclay (super nice guy) who won for the MG book tagged.

Cybernetically enhanced dog teams up with resourceful 'tweens to evade evil Institute who have dangerous agendas and a lot to lose if their secrets get out. Exciting if somewhat predictable. #currentlyreading #preview #rso
