Welcome to Litsy!

I really dug this space horror about a passenger ship that is hijacked in order to board House of Wisdom, a large abandoned ship. The entire crew of HOW were wiped out a decade, yet two of the people boarding the vessel in the present were children who survived the tragedy. This scratched a very specific itch that I have had for awhile for a good space horror book. I liked how Wallace incorporated the awkwardness of navigating through a low (cont)

Space horror!

Viruses in space really know how to amp up that fear.

Ohhh I liked this a lot. Taking place 400 years after the almost collapse of humanity, House of Wisdom is a ship flying in orbit for 10yrs after all but one survivor died of a viral outbreak. There are two children of people who were aboard that ship, representing different factions of life on Earth, that will meet and uncover the truth. The author did a great job adding so many layers to this all while having relevant social commentary. I‘m 👇🏼

I really enjoyed this sci-fi thriller. It is set in space on an abandoned ship with a deadly virus. There are government secrets and a cult, along with commentary on our society.

If you're looking for a sci-fi with a mysterious outbreak that wipes out a whole space station and criticizes how we treat refugees and immigrants, here's a book for you!

Space time!

I‘m not sure what the point of having 4 cats is when I call one over for a read and cuddle and she lays over there. Dieter, come here! Just wrapping up reading Salvation Day which I am loving! This hits every mark, it‘s a thrill ride!

Sunday morning, long weekend, family reading time! I‘m having a hard time finishing any books right now. I have so many out from the library, and two new ARCs, and everything is so good! I want to finish them but I also want to read everything. I need more time!

Pretty pleased with my final August stats - read 14 books (10 print, 2 eBooks, & 2 audiobooks), including 2 NetGalley titles and 3 books for MountTBR. I also surpassed my Goodreads goal of 100 titles. 🎉🎉 The tagged book was probably my favorite, but almost all of these were at least 3 star reads. I‘ll take it!

It‘s 2 am. This is a terrifying sci-fi thriller that I didn‘t want to put down even though it freaked me out to no end. Loved it! I‘m at roughly 5 1/2 hours for #24b4Monday and now going to join #Bailey in sleepy land, assuming I don‘t have nightmares (I‘m totally going to have nightmares 😱) #AllTheStars

#Bailey is a little stressed, and I‘m not sure why, but I‘ll take any excuse to snuggle. 😍 This book is making me nervous, too, so we‘ll pretend I‘m comforting the pup when it‘s really the other way around. 😆 #freezerworthybook #notbedtimereading #iwillsaveyoubailey #ifyouprotectmetoo

Fast paced horror thriller set in space. Told from two POVs and political (?) sides and you're rooting for both.

A spaceship loses all aboard when a rapidly fatal virus strikes. Ten years later, a splinter group decides to claim the derelict ship as their new home. Nothing goes as planned. After a somewhat slow start, this thriller/sci-fi/horror novel races along. I was shocked in places and really enjoyed this read, which also manages to work in a critique of our current society alongside pure entertainment.

Well done speculative #sciencefiction & quite the page turnerThere's a glorious nod to the horror that is infectious parasites under your skin as in Guillermo del Toro's The Strain. And if you like the class disparity & proto molecule threads of James S.A. Corey's The Expanse, this could be your thing. #arcs Thx to #BerkleyPub

I received this a month ago, but I forgot that I did. I just found it. #SalvationDay #kaliwallace #bookmail
