Welcome to Litsy!

I am posting one book per day from my extensive to-be-read collection. No description or reason for wanting to read the book. Some are old and some will be new. Don't judge me - I have a lot of books.

Whitely has become a new favorite of mine - I absolutely LOVED The Beauty and Skein Island was also a great read. This book, however, fell flat for me. While the concept was fascinating (people shed their skins and with it their love disappears), the execution left me wanting. There‘s also an addition to the main story placed at the end, told from another character‘s point of view, which I found totally unnecessary. Interesting, but not for me.

A haunting reflection on the transience of love and the ways in which we cling on. I found the first half fascinating - the little world building details, the painful character study - but was nonplussed by the second. I loved Whiteley‘s prose tho; will definitely watch out for future efforts.

Teetered between Pick and So-So, finally came down on the positive side. People‘s cells regenerate every seven years, as we know. In this world, people molt their entire skin at once, and slough off not just the physical, but the emotional as well. So it is perfectly normal to fall out of love or a get a new job, a new life. Some people can‘t stand the thought of losing their love; a new drug is created to stop the molting process. Intriguing for
