Welcome to Litsy!

This was enjoyable! I rooted for both R and Julie the whole time. A quick listen too!

#pop25 - a dystopian book with a happy ending

I adored reading this book, it was a great palette cleanse from Patient Zero. The characters are likable and even if it‘s a fast read, it put in a lot action pack moments and romantic moments. I‘m excited to read the sequel! I highly recommend this book for the heart warming moments and the funny moments.

Didn‘t know there was a sequel until a few months ago, but I started this book at work for my lunch hour read. While the movie is very different, I like the two of them for different reasons.

Oldie in my tbr 🧟‍♀️

Hello. Just showing signs of life. 🧟‍♀️
Full of snot but still kickin‘! 🤧

My *goal* is to finish matchmaking by Monday. I‘m fairly obsessed, tbh. I *may* have even pulled up the spreadsheet during my lunch break at work today. We shall see how truly single-minded I can be! 😅

I couldn‘t find my copy of World War Z, so I must have gotten rid of it at some point, which means this is my only Zombie book. Read this last year for #Scarathlon!

I finished this one earlier in the week and I really enjoyed it! Now I kind of want to rewatch the movie adaptation to see how different it was.

Warm Bodies is funny, bittersweet, and thought provoking, if you stop and think what it means to be Dead or Alive.

(Also, I can‘t resist: what does a vegan zombie eat? Grains!)

I read this for the Scarathlon but I was too slow. Kind of a sweet, zombie version of Romeo and Juliet. I think I‘ll watch the movie just to see how they tackled this storyline.

I know some people have asked about how I am doing after breaking my knee last Monday, so here is an update now that I am back home and have seen the ortho. We were able to remove the plaster cast that was put on in France and replace with a brace that will slowly allow me more mobility on my knee. Thankful that surgery was not required, though I will still be immobile for awhile. Watching Halloween movies and finishing this book today 🎃

Really liked this! Very unique take on a totally overdone trope… second team read for #teamhendrix and another 3 hrs for #20in4 … think I‘m going to have to go by chapters and call it a success that way 🙈

#scarathlon2021

And we're off!🧟‍♂️

Update: That was really good!! R the Zombie is a sweetheart. 'Every great thing starts out a little scary doesn't it?'

Going to watch the film of Warm Bodies this morning!🧟‍♂️

Pretty sure that gets me more #Scarathlon2021 points too💯

I've really enjoyed Scarathlon and now I'm HYPED for the Winter Games - I'm going to try to figure out how readathons etc work for that moreso and make a little spreadsheet to track my points😁

Anyway now I've gotten distracted...off to watch Warm Bodies!

95 points for #Week3 of #Scarathlon2021 🙌🧟‍♂️

50 points for reading Warm Bodies, 42 points for @TheSpineView #SpookoweenReadathon, and the rest for my posts!

For Week 4, I want to read Tom Cox's Help The Witch and find all the words in the Word Search too!

@StayCurious

That's the #TeamHendrix #BuddyRead for #Scarathlon2021 finished and I really liked it!! I thought it was funny and touching in all the right places - good stuff!

#teamhendrix buddy read! I almost skipped this one but I'm so glad I didn't. It's charming, funny, and sweet, but with zombies. It all works!!!

#scarathlon2021 @StayCurious

Even though I‘d read this before, it has been years so I was excited to give it a reread for the #TeamHendrix #BuddyRead. Still a fun story and now I need to rewatch the movie. #Scarathlon2021 #BookSpinBingo #screamathon #BFC2021 #OutstandingOctoberReadathon +351 pts

I love this book so much. I felt actual emotion when I read it. The story of a zombie who is trying to find his way back to humanity. This feels so original. In general, I try to avoid zombie stories because they bore me. But for Warm Bodies I will make an exception. So good. 5 stars.

#scarathlon2021 #buddyread #teamhendrix

Spending the afternoon reading more of Warm Bodies & I'm quite enjoying it! Thankfully can't actually remember much of the film so no spoilers in my head😂 🧟‍♂️🧟‍♀️

#Scarathlon2021 #TeamHendrix #BuddyRead

Starting the #TeamHendrix #Scarathlon2021 team read!

Glad I finally got to read this. This is not your typical zombie novel. I really enjoyed the story and the narration from a zombie‘s POV was perfect. Definitely interested in getting the next book.

“But it does make me sad that we‘ve forgotten our names. Out of everything, this seems to me the most tragic. I miss my own and I mourn for everyone else‘s, because I‘d like to love them, but I don‘t know who they are.”

I read 11 short stories plus the buddy read. Also 3 scary movies and 6 tv shows.

This was a fun read! Now I had seen the movie so I knew the ending, but it was still an entertaining read. Well done audiobook too. 4⭐️

🔸️Fast zombies.

🔸️It will be a virus that the government is engineering to be a biological weapon and it escapes the lab.

🧟‍♀️Fast Zombies for sure, I hate running
🧟Listening to this right now and a fun movie!
🧟‍♂️Probably a scientific mishap that spreads

Braaaaaiiiinnnsss… 🧟

1. Quiet zombies. I hate jump scares SO MUCH!
2. One of the two #BuddyRead books for #TeamHendrix . We‘ll see which hold comes in first for me to read.
3. So I read Seanan McGuire‘s Feed last year, near the beginning of *gestures vaguely at everything* and a virus makes a lot of sense. 😬

#SundayFunday Have a ghoulish day, and don‘t forget to tag me!

I knew this book wasn‘t going to be for me and yet, I picked it up anyway. Zombies freak me out. I‘m glad he didn‘t describe eating too many brains. If I wasn‘t listening to the audio, I would have bailed. But I finished the team #BuddyRead #TeamHendrix and it got me my first bingo for #BookSpinBingo

My Week 1 #Scarathlon #TeamHendrix Total is 9,136!

Thanks to the word game & 6 readathons (which bless the spreadsheet providers because some were weekend or specific books, or monthlong or audiobooks-so varying hour amounts & Beanstacker was helpful). But I think I got it all sorted. The early #TBR & team read points helped & I‘m impressed I got 6 books read/listened to from 10/1-10/10.
I am sure my next week total won‘t be this high.🤷🏻‍♀️

1033 points (not including my Early Bird Ones) for Week 1 of #Scarathlon2021!

1010 for the word game, 20 points as part of #SpookoweenReadathon & 3 participation post points!

For Week 2, I want to read more that fits with the team theme, and read for more hours too!

Watched Warm Bodies for +6 points! Also completed #scarepairs for #screamathon. #scarathlon2022 #TeamHendrix

The copy I ordered from Thriftbooks finally arrived yesterday! Hoping to start (and finish 🤞🏼) this weekend!

Finished the #scarathlon2021 #teamhendrix buddy read and we watched the movie tonight. #screamathon #scarepairs

I remembered enjoying the movie when I first saw it several years ago. However I was pleasantly surprised by the depth of the book and really enjoyed it. The friendship between R and M was one of my favorite things in the book and I loved seeing those moments in the movie. I may pick up the second book at some point too.

#TeamHendrixBuddyRead done! Excited to watch the movie as well. +411 #TeamHendrix #Scarathlon2021 #BookspinBingo #Screamathon #Spookoween #ReadLikeHellathon #MurderTheyRead #Trickortreatathon #hallowreads #disneyvillianreadathon #vampathon

Despite a few changes I thought this was a pretty solid adaptation. Nicholas Hoult made a really good R and the bonies were quite creepy 🧟‍♂️

Finished my #scarathlon2021 #teamhendrix #teamread today! I‘m looking out for the sequel next! Conveniently for the #scarathlonphotochallenge that‘s a #zombie on the cover! @Linsy @Clwojick @StayCurious

Today‘s stack. I‘m volunteering at the bookstore today, which means three hours of almost uninterrupted reading. I have a chapter of Pickwick for #whatthedickens plus Warm Bodies is the #buddyread for #teamhendrix and if I finish that, I have my #bookspin book as well! #wellprepared #scarathlon2021 @StayCurious @Clwojick @TheAromaofBooks

I read this as the #teambuddyread for #teamhendrix for #scarathlon & watched the movie this afternoon for #screamathon Week 1 #ScarePairs prompt.

I actually liked the book more than I thought I might. I liked the humor & getting R‘s POV as a zombie & his friendship with M. In fact, I think the friendships between R & M & Julie & Nora were what I liked more than the zombie romance. I saw the movie when it came out & although there were some ⬇️

This is the team read for #TeamHendrix and I really enjoyed it. I loved the fact that it's told from the zombie's, R's point of view 🧟‍♂️

I like the depth of the book, but the movie is funnier. I watched this when it 1st came out 8 yrs ago and completely forgot most of it. John Malkovich!!

Here we go October!

Tag book I am listening to on Audio for buddy read!

“I am dead, but it‘s not so bad.”

Thank you @MommyOfTwo !!! What a great #fffs #FallIngForFallSwap package! Great books, yummy snacks, I love the mug! Might need to get into the spirit of fall with some of that pumpkin coffee 😊🍁🍂🍁 thank you again!! Love it!

I *finally* finished last month‘s #NovelWatchingCrew book! (But not the movie yet.)

I enjoyed it enormously, right blend of zombie grossness, humor and every color of emotional string-pulling.

I‘m not sure I‘m up to the sequel/s though. I just want the happy ending for this couple & the budding romance of their costars.

(Forgive me for not remember who I should be tagging. I will accept your rebuke & correction with roll call. 😕
