Welcome to Litsy!

Super fun to read✨ information for a lot of different ways to die

I *have* read books in the last 6 weeks, honest! Let‘s catch up with some reviews…

It‘s taken me 5 years, a pandemic & now officially a drought (so bizarre), but I finally got to The Rain. A lot of fun (in an everyone dies kind of way 🤔!). Teenage Ruby is in first-lust, and living in my hippy soggy old home town. Then the world changes. The virus is in the rain, and kills anyone who comes into contact with it… Or anyone who touches anyone…

With all our rain storms, of course I read the book about killer water. 💦#nextlevel #recommendsday

Poisonous rain in this one.
I love this song ❤️

Saw this today at #BookCon2019 if anyone needs a #clifi choice! I'm going to throw this on my #Libby list!

I picked this one up on a recommendation, but to be honest YA is not my preferred genre. That being said, this book wasn‘t awful, it held my interest, and I really did end up wanting to find out how the story ended. It got in my head a little, considering we were iced in all weekend after about 2 inches of freezing sleet came through. I thought twice about getting a drink of water!!

🔸Bohemian Rhapsody-Queen. And now that I‘ve thought of it , here it is again! 🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶
🔸I‘m ready to bail. Don‘t think it‘s my thing.
🔸Either The Count of Monte Cristo or Atlas Shrugged. AS felt longer. I didn‘t think it was ever. Going. To. End.

First #bookhaul in awhile. Plus some bookmarks, a notebook for the start of my traveling book, and not pictured, some goodies for my #blanketandabookswap and #phs #potterheadswap matches.

Loved this book so much that I read it in a day. Loved the concept, though was not entirely sold on the main character. Have read that the sequel has more mature character development so I look forward to that.

Raise your hand if you like apocalyptic books that make you think the world is ending. ✋️

The Rain - I heard about originally through @TrishB and, I have to admit, I'd forgotten all about! It's set in Totnes, a town my family lived in for years, so super-happy to get a copy of this one (and I fully expect friends/relations to nick it as soon as I finish it! ) #summersantagoespostal #summersolsticebookexchange

It took me a week to finish this book which is a pretty long time for me. I liked the book and I plan on reading the next one but it didn't have any pivotal points that forced me to keep going. I just put it down and came back over and over again. I did like it tho. :)

Day 2 of #AprilBookShowers
These are the first 8 books I found that I've read where the titles are all somewhat #weather related.

Hoping to get through this series in a flash. It's pretty interesting so far for an end of the world book!

Yeah... I got a ton of Kindle ebooks (and other ebooks) cuz I went crazy on Book Bub last summer...
...And I have literally a whole bookshelf of tangible, unread books in my room (it's worse in the house I grew up in)
...And I'm reading 3 books simultaneously for my history class...
The struggle is real 😖

#setinabelovedlocation. This is actually set in a fictional place - but based on Totnes in South Devon, where I actually brought this copy. Totnes is the scene of many family holidays for me. As a adult going back - the high street has an independent bookshop, wine shop and cheese shop. What more do you need 😀
Author is friend of a friend! It's good Y.A!

I had high expectations. I blame my sister.

Went to book con and this was the giveaway. It is an apocalyptic coming of age. Ruby is left standing after rain begins to kill her friends during a party. It is worth the read.

Ruby, a teenager, is quite teenagery, as she deals with the widespread catastrophe of killer rain. A good read if you like young adult end-of-world doom and gloom.

Unfortunately, the style of writing in this novel was a huge turn off.

Already have book 2 Storm in my stack

This is the kind of book you'll want to read on a bright sunny day. "A" for concept (all water suddenly becomes deadly), just not sure it was the book for me, what with all the animal death and a teen heroine with ABSOLUTELY ZERO survival skills.

Such a great book. Truly chilling. Why? Because it's believable. This kind of situation? It could happen. Let's keep our water clean and safe to be around folks.

Re-read this one before The Storm. Still as great as I remember!

H2O combines a chillingly plausible scenario with a regular teen girl challenged with the task of surviving the seemingly inescapable killer rain. While Ruby starts out a little bratty at first, the weight of the situation quickly whips her into shape. She has become one of my favorite heroines!!!

The first few chapters of the book were intense a kept me on the edge of my seat, but the farther I got into the book the more I felt like it was being dragged on. I thought towards the middle there was to much detail and found myself sleeping through some parts. Over all it had an intriguing start

I wish it was more backstory. I want to know more about the rain where came from. I also feel parts of the book I slept through like there wasn't enough for me. So to be fair, something did keep me reading I couldn't put down the book had to know what happen next so that counts for something.

This book was so intense! I loved it

I had some issues with it, but there was something about this book that just kept me going. I just had to see how it all turned out.
