Welcome to Litsy!

1. Time Salvager by Wesley Chu
2. Portland Marathon 2018 is cancelled and the nonprofit that ran it for 47 years closed due to accusations of funds mismanagement. I'm not a runner nor big on downtown Portland but it seems a shame that a popular event goes out like this.
3. Sadly, no
4. Why are writers cold? They're surrounded by drafts! Ba-dum-tiss...
5. I don't get this one! But here is a 👍at least.

People who go to drinking establishments to socialize with strangers are weird imo

Anyone else stressed to the gills due to all the nonsense coming out of the WH? Eating movie theater popcorn out of the bag and reading some entertaining time travel sounds like a good way to wind down for the day. #sf #nobannowall

Time travel books are always a little tricky for the more pedantic science minded folks like me. Chu does a good job of skirting the various paradoxes though only the future books in the series will tell for sure. ;p

Sure it's a little tropey-guy saves girl who saves guy's soul, corporate greed destroys planet, blah, blah--and somewhat predictable, but satisfyingly so and aided by Chu's writing style which I enjoy. I'll probably read the sequels.

#seasonsreadings2016 I couldn't pick just one. Since I finished 18, I thought three was a good number! #bestofdecember

This was exactly what I was in the mood for. Fast-paced plot, great characters, time travel and space and stuff... totally in my wheelhouse. I can't wait to read the sequel!

Help y'all. I am not the person who can stay awake for hours on end reading. I planned to read all day, and then took an unexpected 2 hour nap. Caffeine doesn't really affect me, and I don't want to drink energy drinks (I'm looking at you, @Liberty ...). What do you do to stay awake and get more reading time in?

I don't usually read blurbs, so I didn't notice until after I finished this one that Ann Leckie had blurbed it, which is awesome because I love her books. I'm glad I knew going in that this was part of a series, or the ending would have disappointed me, but I thoroughly enjoyed it and am now looking toward the next one! #seasonsreadings2016

A TARDIS for a time travel book, natch. Also "now woman up" delights me ?

Anyone read Time Salvager by Wesley Chu?

Well, this certainly isn't how I planned to spend the rest of my evening....thank goodness I have an ebook on my phone, I suppose lol #photoadaynov16 #readingcompanion

Nerd problems!! All my library holds came in at the same time, and I don't know if I can finish them before they're due. But I'll certainly do my best 😂

So excited to read this book!! I can't believe that I found this for $3 today. What an amazing bargain. 😆

The Amazon fairy has been! #bookhaul. I need to read The Tempest first so that I can finally read Hag-Seed

series *shakes fist*
good though, very fast paced.

About halfway through and already looking forward to the sequel. Solid SF, strong writing. Complete sentences are so refreshing.

Fast-paced and with heart, which is the way I know Chu as an author. I really enjoyed this book and I highly recommend it. Also, Chu totally blew my mind by elegantly solving a logical problem that plagues most time traveling adventures.

Starting this now. I read Chu's Lives of Tao trilogy and loved it so my expectations are pretty high for Time Salvager.

R: What book did you buy? Me: Time Salvager by Wesley Chu. R: Did you read anything by him before? Me: He wrote the yellow books with the taro puffs. R: Oh yeah.
