Welcome to Litsy!

Secret manuscripts, shady religious organizations and the hunt for something deeper. Really liking this one. Not exactly sci-if but definitely standing at the edge

This Goodreads giveaway win is a quirky one! 3 people are on the hunt to find a reclusive Sci-Fi writer who may have discovered something astonishing about the universe that caused him to keep his latest novel a secret. Written as a book-within-a-book, part sci-fi, part satire, this one is a real risk for me!! Wondering if I could use for any #popsugar18 or #booked18 prompts- otherwise it might be tough to pick up....

I failed. This book is clever and feels a little like Vonnegut. I made it to where the "lost book" starts: the book within the book. It just wasn't for me.

In my earlier post, I mentioned I have come to dislike reading books about books, bookstores, libraries, English professors, writers, etc. I guess I don't enjoy the behind-the-scenes stuff anymore. For now, I prefer to be immersed in non-book worlds for reading. It is well-written.

Going to look over today's #bookmail wile I make some apple cider. My library is cold dang it #thirstyThursday. #spookyoctober

I am famous for my avoidance of all books related to bookstores, libraries, writers, publishing, anything remotely attached to the industry I have loved being a part of for the last 29 years. (The very major exception being the tv show Black Books....huge fan, make of that what you will). But this premise intrigued me, so I'm going to give it a shot.

A meta book for meta book nerds. Wirkus spirals the reader deeper into an interconnected narrative that really makes you marvel at his skill as a writer. The second INFINITE FUTURE, the text by Salgado-Mackenzie, tried my patience near the end, I wish Wirkus had loosened his grip and immaculate control. I will say though, for all the pieces, I was surprised often, not just by the most recent plot development but by the way it seamlessly clicked.
