Welcome to Litsy!

It took me a little while to care about the MC in this book but I ended up liking her. This is a cool story and the ending caught me off guard. I didn‘t know it wasn‘t a stand-alone so I wasn‘t prepared to have to wait for the rest of the story. I got this book from Once Upon a Book Club and the gifts were awesome! I am going to have to add this and the one(s) that follow to my classroom bookshelf.

Finally getting around to reading The Once Upon a Book Club Book I got in November

A big thanks to @Robothugs for the book. It arrived today with a beautiful bookmark.

I decided to join the #LRC @jessberk13 because I had such fun doing a summer reading bingo with the #Seattle public library that I have to do this one! And I‘m crossing off my first square with my first read of the year, the book I finished yesterday, ‘Dare Mighty Things.‘ The young girl in the book competes and then trains to go into space on a top-secret mission for NASA, with a twist (at the end). I‘m excited to join you guys! #LRC2018

I got my first of 2018 ‘in the books‘ right before midnight last night! Set a few decades from now, a group of the brightest and the best young people compete to go into Space on a top secret mission for NASA. It centers around a girl called Cassie, a fresh kind of heroine: a smart Indian-American who has dreamed about going into Space her whole life. And it was actually a book someone bought for me!

#DecemberWrapUp Here‘s my final month of the year in books! Including my last book, ‘Dare Mighty Things‘ which is my date for New Year‘s Eve 🎉
Finished/about to finish books: 9
Favorite book: Reign of The Fallen
Least favorite: The Mighty Thor
* Includes 5 ARCs this month, plus my #LMPBC book
(I‘d hoped to read 2 more ARCs this month but they can wait)
Overall, pretty good month; some great new books coming out 👍🏼

This is weird to say, but this felt like a Harry Potter fanfic turned sci-fi story. I liked Cassie & her gang a lot, but the plot was slow. I didn't love the cultural representation — not because it was harmful, or ghastly (this author did some work, thankfully), but because for me personally, it felt like somebody outside of my culture was trying to relate my own experience back to me, which felt mildly irritating. Still, decent start! ★★★☆☆.

#currentlyreading | a fitting title for (what's probably) my last read of 2017. 🎉🎊

It‘s a competition to see who is fit mentally, physically, emotionally, academically to go an important space mission. They all want to be the chosen one. And then an ending I wasn‘t expecting! Great fast read.

Going to the release party for Dare Mighty Things! So impressed Heather! I'm dying to read it. #newrelease #blastoff 💫🚀
