Welcome to Litsy!

⭐️⭐️ The first book was kind of fun and, I think, unintentionally campy. I liked it! This follow up started okay but went waaay off the rails. And it was too damned long. Now, after realizing there are 8 books (how??), I won‘t be continuing on.

I didn‘t even get a good pic of the cover before returning it to the library. Pretty sure I was reading it here … even Champ was unamused. 💤 #dogsoflitsy

🌟what utter trash of a book! I mean can‘t we get a decent shark book and not some rapey, cartoon villain nonsense.

Champ loves to snooze 💤 in the school pick up line. #dogsoflitsy

It‘s #BigJuneReadathon update time! 3/7
🏖 Last week I read Terror in the Trench (link unavailable here, independently published) edited by Jay Alexander. I loved or liked every ocean themed horror short story in this book, some giving me the creeps. Bonus points for diverse characters, and diverse authors. Double bonus points for using all proceeds to benefit The Shark Trust!

🌺 Thanks @Clwojick

Just finished this today. Loved every page.

I always seem to be reading a shark book when I go to the shark reef.

I have done nothing but play video games and listen to my audio book allllllll day today!! It‘s been amazing, Tuesday has come way too quickly though! I hope everyone has a delicious, see what I did there!, and quick week. Followed by a long weekend that seems to never end! #sharksyay

I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who likes horror, monsters and giant sharks! 🦈 🤘🏻😜🤘🏻

I can now say that I have dropped a book in the bathtub 😂😂😂 Any suggestions on drying it out with minimal damage? 😳😳😳

This was between a pick and so so for me. I really enjoyed MEG, and this was a decent continuation of the story. I had a hard time liking any of the characters in this book though. I can do the rest of the series in audio form on hoopla. I hope that the other books have more of a MEG feel to them, but either way I'm still a sucker for a giant shark story.

I'm currently at 21.1hrs for #24B42019 Doing great in spite of everything going on LOL 😋 Just gotta keep on truckin! 🚛🚛🚛🚛🚛

#hocuspocusswap @rather_be_reading @BBL4nkensh1p thank you so much for such a wonderful swap package. I love it all and you stalked me so well, you know me better than my own family, lol. I am sick so I plan on drinking the immunity tea first and will start the ghost story next. And I loved the packaging and card. Thank you!

Trigger warning book!

I liked it, but had a few problems. Proper full review on my blog. 3/5.

Seriously, how do you think you are not going to get eaten by a shark if Captain Morgan is in charge of the ship? Duh.

Is it wrong that I was more upset when the shark ate a whale then when she ate some people? 🦈🦈🦈
No? Great. I didnt think so. Just checking.
Poor mama whale.🐳🐳🐳

Some soothing bedtime reading.

I have a love/hate thing going on with Mr Alten.

After more than a decade since first reading this one, I have to say that it‘s overall a solid sequel with plenty of #shark action! Yes, the subplots and characters are a little over the top - but it‘s still one of Alten‘s better books! Looking forward to re-reading the third book next!!! 🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈

This book picks up a few years after The Meg. With characters we already met and a few we are introduced too and who I was annoyed AF with! Why is there always a...never mind, you‘ll have to read it yourself. Jonas Taylor is still obsessed with the Megaladon, Angel who has been captured at the Tanaka lagoon for some time; but something is about to go down - he can feel it. Fast paced and excellent on the edge-of-seat scale! 📚📚📚

We had a little upset. Broken Girls has broken ahead (pun intended) in my August #makemereadit list. Assassination Vacation and Princess Diarist are out. The top 3 are so close.
Broken Girls 18
Six of Crows 17
One Of Us Is Lying 16
I'm also throwing a reality TV twist. The Trench is back in the game. I'm committed to reading at least the top two books on this list next month. The votes are set back to zero. Help me pick the books for next month.

I can't decide. What should be next?
🤔

About 3/4 of the way through Meg and I had to run it and grab this one, okay this series is actually way better than i thought and I‘m loving all the scientific facts and things.

4.5/5 🐙🐙🐙🐙🐟
Still loving this series. There is a lot going on all through this whole book and I had to go back a couple times because I missed things. It‘s set up for a whole lot of other things to happen and I really enjoyed the understory going on as well. Ready to start book 3!!

Unholy Carcharodon Batman!! Book two has been even better than book 1!! There is so much going on that it‘s hard to take my headphones out!! The narrator has changed and I‘m not a huge fan of the new guy but the story makes up for him! 😍😍

Book 2 of the #Meg series was phenomenal! It's fast-paced, taking off about 20 pages in. There's always one thing after another that keeps rolling the plot forward. There were some side plot elements that I hope surface in a big way w/upcoming instalments. The science is well-researched & fascinatingly technical; it's intelligently gripping. There's less volcanology & more paleo-biology than the 1st book. 4.5/5.

Omg, you guys, the weather here is absolutely gorgeous today!! I decided to do some reading outside to bask in it. 😊 Sorry all of my posts have been of this book, it's my current read and I'm so into it that I haven't picked up a second book. That hasn't happened in a long time. It feels so nice haha. Wishing you all a lovely day!! 🌸

#thetrench #nature #beautifulsunnydays #amreading

I'm about 160 pages into this book and I absolutely love how fast-paced it is!! It hooked me within the first 20 pages, and it's been quite the ride so far. Even though I anticipated one of the occurrences, it was still so exhilarating to read about it. I'm definitely enjoying this sci-if-thriller series so far!! 🦈 🦈 🦈

I tried starting this at the beginning of Feb. But due to a monstrous slump I just couldn't get into it. Time to try again! This is the sequel to MEG. The story's a sci-fi thriller (w/o spoilers) about a Megolodan shark. Now that it's tasted so much human blood, it's craving more & more, & it's not the only one! Paleobiologist, Jonas Taylor, returns in the 2nd book of the series as the oceans' last hope!

#thetrench #meg #stevealten #scifi #sharks

Reading and chai-ing today all day long!! I plan on finishing one ARC, and starting this book right here, which is the sequel to Trench!! 😊

#amreading #litsygram #scifi #thetrench #stevealten

This book isn't as good as the first, but still great! Steve Alten creates great characters, and the "villains" in this book are brilliantly evil. The author has a great way of weaving two storylines together to keep the reader on their toes!

"Fear is nothing more than the dark side of thought, it has substance only in the mind. We create it, and we alone can destroy it. But because most men never master their fear, they spend their lives living in its thrall."
