Welcome to Litsy!

Template not from Litsy, but curious to see everyone's answers. What books make your list?
Have a great Monday, everybody! 😊

Thank you @abooknerdsparadise for the new book, fancy tea and amazon gift card/bookmark! I‘ll be cracking the tea open for a literary quote and sip it while reading this new book! A very lovely #litsylovewinterswap 🙂😃

Finished the #11thhrreadathon the same way as I started it: with my sucky lapcat sleeping on me ❤️
But I only have 50% of one book left to meet my 2018 reading challenges! Finishing the tagged book completed #readingwomenchallenge for me! 🎉 so a very successful readathon even though I didn't make 11 hours. Thanks @EclecticReaders !

Settled in for an evening of #11thhourreadathon! I have about half an hour logged so far, hoping to get another couple before sleeping. I have three books to finish for 2018 reading challenges (2 of them already started) so, like last year, this readathon is very timely!

This one was just annoying. It felt needlessly sexualized. You can't consent to sex when you are both prisoners. You can't consent to anything.

I‘m taking part in a Reading Rumble tournament to promote adult literacy and this was one of the reads by a local author.

It was a bit of a slow read for me but there were some really good parts. It was very different compared to other post apocalyptic YA novels I‘ve read.

Juno and I give it 1 out of 2 corgi ears. 😜

Started this new read last night and Juno wanted to check it out too. I love that nose so much! 🐶💕

“No, blowing up cities doesn't work, not in the long term. You've got to find something that the people in charge aren't willing to give up. A price they aren't willing to pay.

Which leads us to Talis's first rule for stopping wars: make it personal.”
― Erin Bow, The Scorpion Rules

A few of my favorite underrated YA titles. Read The Scorpion Rules if you want to be devastated, Pasadena if you love gritty noir-ish mysteries and Noteworthy if you want to laugh and sigh. #riotgrams

Sunday morning. Trying to be as cozy as possible.

Snappy writing and great characters. One of the best stories I've read that involved AI. I wasn't sure that I would read the second book but about a third of the way through I definitely decided to continue the series at some point.

A bonus entry for today's #girlfriends prompt. I enjoyed this one more the first time through, but it's still an intense and well-realized SF novel with an unconventional setting and a bi heroine. That makes it a pick in my book.

The audio narrator's performance wobbles between excellent and too crisp for believability. She mispronounces Canadian place names and uses American pronunciations for some words, too. Sigh.

I made great progress with my reread of THE SCORPION RULES while I walked to the farmer's market and checked out this awesome park. #audiowalking #queerbooks

I liked the world and the goats, but I'm not sure it'll stand up in my memory the way that Bow's previous work does

How the kids entertained themselves while I was reading...

I won this book last night at a school event! #solucky Has anyone read it?

We've got movement from TBR to HJBR (Has Just Been Read). It had a lot of goats. On we go! #24in48

I've got my stack and my "MUG"-mug ready. Let's do this! #24in48

Trying to finish the books in my last YA Quarterly book box before the next one arrives! 2/3rds of the way through this YA dystopian novel. Love the mashup of Artificial intelligence and farm life. It's an interesting, if not compelling read so far.

This book is CANADIAN! 🇨🇦 I don't know that I've ever read a book with Canadians as the focus.

LOOK WHATS HERE EARLY! Thanks for the Early Christmas gift mom and dad :)

My new favorite bookmark. I'm truly an '80's/'90's girl.

Starting this today. Any of my friends read it? Is it as good as the synapsis makes it sound?

I really wanted to like this one because the premise sounded interesting but it just didn't work for me, I read it as an ebook so there was no throwing involved but I'm sure I thought about it

Currently reading a YA novel (I took the photo in a rush. The flash strategically covers my library's logo). It's a somewhat atypical dystopian novel--there are AIs, but also loads of goats and assorted vegetables. The first half of the book didn't really convince me, but this second half took an unexpected and interesting turn. I still have a little less than 100 pages left, though, so my opinion might change once again before I finish it.

This is REALLY GOOD so far y'all.

Interesting concept, Talis was the best part. The diverse cast of characters, LGBTQ+ love interest, cool vision of the future. That being said, it's surprisingly a slow-build. Overall, I enjoyed it.

I'm sorry, but the only character I can relate to is Talis.

Just starting this one. Not sure how I feel about it yet....

This is one book I just don't know how I feel about it. On one hand, it can be very boring. On the other hand, the writing style is very amusing. Sometimes the characters are flat, sometimes they're interesting. In some ways it's a typical dystopian and in some ways it is so unique. The romance storyline seems sometimes cliche but at the same time very atypical. This book was just a giant "I don't know" for me.

Well, that was beautiful—and absolutely heartbreaking.

Reading novels and looking at reviews when I should be reading for school? #blameitonlitsy #septphotochallenge #somethingforsept

Woo! Got some book mail from Simon & Schuster today! Have you guys read this yet? What do you think? #readthenorth

My fave book for August has definitely been Scorpion Rules.... I haven't been able to put it out of my head and am just soaking up everything about the brain possible (and heart because all I want in life is to hold a beating human heart in my hands). #somethingforsept

I can't put a photo in because if I look at this book I will start rereading it.... I need a time machine to get to Sept 20 when the sequel comes out so I can dive right back into my fantasy AI world where the AI's are freaking hilarious!

This doesn't help me with all my questions like how do they kill these poor children if their parents make a mistake or what happens if there are more than one child!!!!! Gah!!!

Yet another day of not feeling well so my mum takes me back to chapters.... I should have these days more often if books is what i get out of it #bookadaykeepsthedoctoraway

This is gotten a lot of mixed reviews on social media, but lots of starred reviews from the editorial ones. I agree with the editorial. The AI characters in this book are really interesting, and I thought it brought a lot of new ideas to a tired genre. I'm really excited to read the sequel, though I hate when they change the cover art like this! (Oh, and this is Louis, my other feline book buddy.)
