Welcome to Litsy!

Lunchtime reading view #audiowalk

So far liking the lit fic sci fi vibe of this one #audiowalk

New week, new #audiobook

It took me a while to get into this, but I‘m so glad I stuck with it. @readordierachel posted a great review that had me rushing to pick this up & she encouraged me to keep going - reassuring me that the novel swiftly changes & becomes something else entirely, & boy was she right. It became amazing. This novel has so much heart, in a package with a little bit of evolutionary science, climate change, chronic illness, and dystopia. Thanks Rachel!

It‘s not often that I get 100 pages into a book without knowing how I feel about it. At 100 pages, I‘ve either decided it‘s wonderful or I‘ve cast it aside 75 pages ago. But This book has done it. I‘m intrigued by the premise, and so rarely do we get to read work which features women with chronic illnesses that I want to keep reading. On the other hand, I don‘t feel any emotional connection with the characters or story yet. Ugh, do I keep going?

Near future SFF about a bonobo researcher with a MacArthur grant.

Very readable. Kept connecting it to other books I've read. Station Eleven / Lady Oracle / We Are All Completely Besides Ourselves

PKD award nom 1/6.

Like all book professionals & aficionados, I cycle through totes from my favorite publishers. Europa‘s my current favorite.

The story had potential - but the lack of punctuation in dialogue is just down right annoying and I‘m bailing for now....maybe come back....

Today‘s lunchtime read, courtesy of a work colleague!! Which is really unusual as I‘ve usually read everything or have no desire to!
