Welcome to Litsy!

Wonderful as always. An emotional investment, to be sure, but worth every moment. As I've come to expect from this series, there was conflict-based violence, loss that can't be taken back, but it makes for a more poignant message. And there are laughs. The banter is just as well crafted as the ethical debates or strategic planning. Happy about this arc's ending, excited to continue in the series, see what's next in this universe.

Well at least now, they're doing it on purpose. 🤦🏼‍♂️

Roanoke? You chose Roanoke for the name of your new colony? Are you HIGH? Why didn't you just build a plane and name it Icarus?! 🤦🏼‍♂️
Heavy on the foreshadowing eh, Scalzi?

This one is different from the other books in this universe, but I enjoyed it as well. It was a good, quick read.

My June TBR. Very ambitious but it's for the #Olympicreadathon on shelf space. Go team- Hestia! 🔥

Bk7 of May & Bk4 of #NutsInMay #readathon is done! I‘ve officially read more in almost 4 days than I did the first 2 weeks of this month🙌 The 3rd in the Old Man‘s War series, I loved it. Continues the story of John Perry & Jane Sagan, it had a lot of politics about the Galaxy & humanity‘s place in it. Lots of double dealing & back stabbing, unfortunately both very human characteristics. 4.5⭐️ #SeriesRead2021 #StackingTheSeries #PickYourPoison👇

Scalzi is one of my fave sci-fi authors and this third book in his Old Man‘s War series didn‘t disappoint. The story has shifted from military sci-fi to a colony so it‘s a quieter tale but it still has all the things I like - politics, wry humour, and a love for humanity tempered with a distrust of organizations. #bookspinbingo @TheAromaofBooks

These just keep getting better! #3 of this series did not disappoint. And the end pretty much insured that I am going to keep reading. 👍

Was dying to read more of the “Old Man‘s War” series, so I got them for cheap from Thriftbooks. I think there are even more, and I love it when you can add more stories to the world in which you have already invested.

1. This weekend was all about dogs & books. (more below 👇🏻)
2. Nope, if I want reality, I‘ll read a paper or go outside.
3. I haven‘t had one yet, but several 4-star. I don‘t give out 5-stars easily. The tagged book was my most recent 5-Star (read Nov 2017).
4. BOTH! But I do love my iClips.
5. Catch-22 at one of the used bookstores I visited Saturday.

#TuesdayTidbits
1. tagged book - I read it last November - a fantastic ending to an incredible trilogy.
2. Haunt Couture and Ghosts Galore - I DNF because it was disappointing and ridiculous & so gave it 1 Star
3. Haha! Same as my user name

I have a third more of this to go and I don't want it to end! This has been such an amazing series. Looking forward to seeing what else John Scalzi has in store for me.

I just love John Scalzi‘s books. All of them! Read a bunch of stand-alones first, and now working my way through the Old Man‘s War series. So funny and engaging and surprisingly thought provoking for alien military fic! #jesshowreads2018

(Ok done reviewing for today.) 😜

3 of the 4 books I‘ve read so far this year had a #plottwist I didn‘t see coming! #2018bookbinge

I just finished this one. I've done most of this series out of order unfortunately. So first of all read/listen to them in order. But this is a really good book. The ending was very satisfying!

Starting this one today. Super excited.

I managed 5 out of 8 planned books, moving 2 to June, and putting one off until later. It was for a challenge that ends today. Not planned, but read were:
The Ghost and Mrs. McClure by Alice Kimberly
You Can't Touch My Hair by Phoebe Robinson
Star Wars 2015 #1 and #2 comics by Jason Aaron

I have no willpower. I had to download this last night immediately upon finishing The Ghost Brigades. I don't remember the last time I binged a series like this; I feel kind of giddy about it!

The story of how I left Huckleberry begins-as do all worthy stories-with a goat.

I'm reviving my old tradition of reading one fiction and one non-fiction at the same time.
