Welcome to Litsy!

#Roll100 is going to be a solo book.
🎲 85 on library hold
🎲 74 would be Piranesi a repeat from April. Still not feeling motivated to read it yet.
🎲 42 would be Never Whistle at Night. I already read it for a different challenge.

This was a premise about which I was initially slightly skeptical, but I eschewed my cynicism & read on. And I was pleasantly surprised not just by the fact that the premise worked really well, but also by how much I enjoyed this book! It really did totally grab me. Moving & surprisingly thought provoking with a cracking redemption arc for the bad guy & a really satisfying ending. And dogs. What more could you want really? 🐕🐶🐕

I really enjoyed this story. It was magical in more ways than one. I especially loved that it was told from the viewpoint of a dog. This dog and his master were granted eternal life. They were separated for centuries. This is the story of how the tirelessly searched for each other. I‘m a dog lover, so this book really appealed to me. I don‘t feel that you have to be a dog lover to enjoy this story.

Well-written and touching, insightful without being preachy Tomorrow is a must-read for dog lovers. I think dog-admirers and the dog-ambivalent will enjoy the story, too. Dibben‘s descriptive imagery drew me deeper into the story, and there‘s a subtle emphasis on the smells—perfect for the canine narrator. Have your handkerchief or tissues ready, especially through the last third of the book.

Pick
An immortal dog spends a century searching for his beloved master and their nemesis who separated them. Faces adventures, love, and war in his quest.
Has a slow start but quickly becomes engrossing and endearing.

Another book off #MountARC.

I'm jaded. I must be. So many raving reviews for this book, but all I saw were its flaws.

I wanted to like this story of an immortal dog looking for his immortal owner, travelling through the courts of Europe meeting all the big names. But the questions about the plot kept piling up. Like: How exactly does the alchemy work? Where does Valentyne's money come from? Why can Tomorrow see better than he can smell?

A lovely book, told through a dog‘s eyes. fundamentally about living life to the full - not fearing the future or dwelling on the past - things we‘ve got a lot of time to do at the moment especially! I do have a tendency to imagine anthropomorphised characters in a rather cartoonish way which was quiet a challenge given the subject matter - war, grief, loneliness - anyone else have this tendency?

Hmmmmm.... a bit different but not bad at all!

This was a curious read. While I loved the idea that there was a way for our pets to live forever with us, this book explored the loss and sadness of separation in that same scenario. #tomorrowthebook #Tomorrow by #damiandibben was an emotive read that I felt exhausted at the end of!

Don‘t bother. Really. ⭐️ out of 5.

I wanted to like this book; the concept— a loyal dog gifted immortality by his magical human companion from whom he is then separated and searches for across battlefields and ballrooms— was great, but I read 120+ pages & nothing happened. Don‘t waste your time or money. DNF

Really lovely book. Narrated by a dog, as he tries to find his master, it spans centuries and countries and lives. It has love, friendship, adventure, what more could you want? #dogsoflitsy

Seem to have colour coordinated my coffee, book and plate. Meanwhile Daisy has brought a tree to her bed. #dogsoflitsy

I am of the strong belief that all maps should feature sea monsters. All of them. Lovely end papers to the tagged book. #bookmap

A book about an immortal dog going on a quest to find his "master"... yes please!

Work and home life have been a bit hectic lately... but I promise I will start posting more regularly again ?
