Welcome to Litsy!

I was really engrossed in this beautiful book. It's about a difficult physical and mental challenge, about dreaming of wild success, and about the way unresolved trauma stays with us and shapes our lives. I couldn't wait to pick it up at night once my youngest was asleep and all my chores done. ⭐⭐⭐⭐

A paleontologist hears a story of a dragon skeleton once seen in a remote cave by a glacier and makes it his life‘s goal to find it. This book is the story of the expedition, a study of obsession. I really enjoyed it. Thanks so much for sending this along to me, Soubhi, I don‘t think I would have found it otherwise!

Soubhi, it‘s gorgeous! 😍 Blue is my favorite color, so I‘m completely in love. You are so talented! Thank you so much. And I‘m equally delighted with the book. What a beautiful cover and the story sounds great. I remember your post about this one, so I really look forward to it. This was so nice of you! Littens are the best.

“A Hundred Million Years and a Day” is a passionate adventure novel following one man on his quest to find the bones of a dinosaur. I didn‘t feel completely immersed in the story but I still found this to be a really enjoyable read with a really good translation.

My full review is up on my blog now 📚

Thank you to LibraryThing and GALLIC publishing for the ARC review copy of this book.

It‘s a short read at 170 pages, and a fascinating story of a search for a rumored “dragon” seen by a shepherd long ago. The MC hopes it is a dinosaur skeleton, perhaps proof of the existence of Brontosaurus. He and two friends and a mountain guide spend months searching a mountain glacial valley. Then winter comes.

I love this kind of story. Recommend!

I‘m starting a new ARC tonight from LibraryThing‘s Early Reviewers program. It‘s translated from French, and it‘s about fossil hunting! Fun. 🦕
