Welcome to Litsy!

While this isn‘t the best book I‘ve read this year, I actually stayed up all night reading it! 🙌🏻 It makes me want to read more dystopian cli-fi because I loved this.

A writer goes to LA to work on the adaptation of his book to a movie, but he ends up a glorified assistant to its star, who want to be paid in water. Meanwhile everyone else on the West Coast is drinking WAT-R, a synthetic water, but is it a true substitute or something sinister?

I‘m not even sure how I feel about this book except to say it‘s dark, weird, and eccentric; and I think I liked it! Patrick travels to LA to work on a movie version of his novel and meets sassy starlet, Cassidy who loves bossing him around. Climate change, corporate greed, corruption, and family are all addressed in this novel that may haunt my dreams for days to come!

Did not love this one as much as I thought I would. In theory, the novel is about a writer who goes to LA to work on the set of the movie based on his novel, when he gets assigned to babysit the temperamental young star. But really it‘s an allegory for climate change and the destructive power of humanity.

Actually, I am really enjoying the tagged book. It's bizarre, bonkers, and I like it.
Soon my paradise, soon

I read this one for the #RoaringWolf challenge #1. I've never read anything from this author before and it was an interesting book. This was a difficult book for me to read because of all the gloom and doom and because of all the unanswered questions throughout the reading. @Roary47 and @Littlewolf1. Just learning to participate in challenges and join my fellow Littens in the fun.

This sounded really interesting and was looking forward to read it. After 100 pages realised just wasn't feeling any of the characters and plot, so stopped.

My last two Mr B's subscription books this year. Am skeptical that I'll like the Shelley Parker Chan one (She Who Became the Sun) but I'll give it a go. But Something New Under The Sun sounds right up my street. 🌞🌞🌞

I really don‘t agree with the blurb on this book; it‘s weird and unsettling and exactly what we *don‘t* need in these uncertain times!

Novelist Patrick heads to LA to oversee one of his books turned into a film. However, the world is facing environmental catastrophe and there appears to be something wrong with the WAT-R that everyone now drinks.

A great read, and I can see why it‘s on the #ToBlonglist but the ending was a bit of a let-down.
