Welcome to Litsy!

I just realized I actually rated this book an 8. Let‘s try to ignore the unintentional pun there shall we??
What can I say? As cliché as it sounds, this whole thing was a roller coaster of emotions. I could be laughing at something sassy a character says and by the next page, my heart would race out of my chest hoping one of them will be okay. The last few chapters melted my brain to mush and I even recommend this to those who don‘t like sci-fi 1

Just when I thought taking a pic of my reading buddy Juana was impossible. Well here she is! 🥰 she says hi! Say hi back 😑

Never related to anything more in my life 😂

Read and finished this last night as my last official read for June. Review coming soon

This book couldn‘t decide which Will Smith alien movie it wanted to be. This was too over the top for me but some may enjoy it. 8 teenagers (of course, right?!) are all that‘s left after aliens invade and they have to figure out how to fight back. 👽

A mash up of every alien invasion movie, this book reads more like a screenplay for one of said movies than the novel it wants to be. While the premise of the book is entertaining, the overall execution is flawed. I found it had a weird pacing and required an exaggerated level of suspension of disbelief which is saying a lot when you consider that the whole plot of the book is aliens invading Earth. ⭐️⭐️ #ReadTheUSA2020 #Nevada #bookspinbonanza

I read this as part of this weeks Epic Reads book challenge in which we are to read a book with a number in the title. It sort of left me with, Meh. It‘s ok, but always like to break out and read book challenges reads.

I found it a quick-paced invasion story. Clover's ways of dealing with trauma, as well as her logical & quick-witted thinking, felt real. I also enjoyed the other characters & their relationships. On the other hand, some pieces of the story didn't make sense. And I would definitely take the content warming seriously. Still, it was a quick read & I'm always glad to read more Latin American authors' voices. I'd be willing to pick up book 2.

Back to School Night at work today. But what if I stay home and read instead? 😆

I was not planning on getting much when I went to BN in Saturday for the HP build. But they had 50% off select books so Last 8 and Beholder fell into my bad.

I featured Skeleton Knight in #coverlove thinking it was a GN. It is technically but it‘s also a full novel. I just couldn‘t resist the cover. #bookhaul

Clover has always been a survivor, which is the only reason she isn't among the dead when aliens invade and destroy Earth.

When she hears a radio message, she's shocked to learn there are other survivors— all at the former Area 51. Only they aren't the ragtag group of heroes she was expecting. The group seems more interested in hiding than fighting back. But then she finds a hidden spaceship, and she doesn't know what to believe…or who to trust.
