Welcome to Litsy!

Here are my choices. 2 horror, a sci-fi, and "A vibrant tribute to the stars of a cult queer documentary about New York‘s ball scene in the 80s" Happy picking!

Multiverse travel is possible BUT only if your counterpart in the other world is dead. Cara, born in the wasteland, is perfect for traversing bc so many of her otherselves are dead.

Cool premise, but there is SO MUCH going on in this book I dunno how to rate it...it felt like a trilogy stuffed into one book.

Just finished for the #screamathon WoC challenge! Have I somehow missed the signup sheet for this week? 🤔

2021 Reads continued....

Struggled...the writing style, the first person narrative. I liked the story and the Earths just not the execution of it. TBH I found it all rather dull. The cover didn't live up to the hype. It could have been so much more exciting. One for the charity pile.

I was so looking forward to this one, but it was sadly underwhelming in almost every way. Weak world building, flat characters, and a wishy washy, confusing plot. All of this was made more frustrating by the fact that Johnson wrote some really lovely moments. It just didn‘t come together as a whole for me.

This is one of those reads that has you thinking you know what sort of ride you're in for and by the third chapter you realize that you've severely miscalculated. This was twisty & turny & unique & hard-hitting. It had a nicely teased out character reveal. The writing was solid, the world(s) development was extraordinary. It's a great example of how unencumbered Scifi can be and ohh what a satisfying ending can look like. Loads of TWs like murder

Yaaassss! This was so much fun. Definitely has the Dark Matter (Blake Crouch) vibe as promised. The plot was almost fantasy-like (empire and caste systems, etc). Could. Not. Put. It. Down. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Just got my first #BookSpinBingo with the tagged. This grim yet hopeful tale delivers a version of alternate realities unlike any other I‘ve read. The character development crossing worlds fascinates, while the plot takes love, danger, and revenge in new directions. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

These are my plans/hopes for this weekend's #20in4 readathon. I also hope to finish Left-handed Booksellers, which I'm reading on my kindle and Legendborn, which I'm listening to on audio. I know I won't finish everything, but if I can make a dent, I'll be satisfied. What reading plans do you all have for the weekend?

@Andrew65

I am really sorry if delays are still ongoing. I was told that the packages I sent would be in last Thursday and then I promptly lost the tracking numbers. Basically, I have created the perfect storm of failure. If either of you guys can let me know if I need to do some detective work or replace the book please let me know. #LMPBC #groupp #groupv

This one didn‘t live up to the hype for me. Loved the “Dark Matter” type setting but all of the different characters left me feeling confused most of the time. Just couldn‘t get into it. ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Combining #FBCReadathon with my daily workout. #Rocinante

I was supposed to have jury duty this morning, but I was dismissed, so I get to start #FBCReadathon earlier than planned by finishing this #BookOfTheMonth selection that's part Elysium, part Mad Max: Fury Road, plus multiverse travel.

I loved the writing style and the characters, however it was a little too post-apocalyptic for my taste. I felt so much time was spent on developing that post apocalyptic world that the novel didn‘t delve as much into the multiverse concept that drew me to it in the first place. While Space Between Worlds may not have been my cup of tea exactly, I do intend to read whatever Johnson writes next. #BOTM

Excellently paced plot twists and good characters but it oddly dragged for me. Felt more dystopian than sci-fi.

I felt like this book was a slow read. Once I was able to get past the first few pages, the story really started moving. The plot is basically about a young girl who is able to be transported to different versions of Earth to download|upload data about what‘s happening on that version of Earth (ie, population, etc). Interesting read.

I know which cover I prefer. It kinda irks me when UK & US covers are so different. Just give us the same one!

My #BOTM books finally came! I‘m so excited to dive into these!

Went a little overboard on packing up my #BOTM box.
Because I didn‘t just buy 12 books from Barnes and Noble 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

All of these sound really good and I‘ll count down until I get my box even though I probably won‘t have time to read any of them until September!

Aggghhhh I‘m so excited for this month. I still have like 4 botm books I‘ve yet to read but idc lol

What did everyone else pick?
