Welcome to Litsy!

I liked this book, and I didn‘t. It‘s a conundrum, because it was weird. Science experiments, corrupt systems, a melting man (arguably the weirdest and coolest part), a talking (and rather) suicidal crow, and non-troublesome teenagers stuck in an intense camp for troublesome boys. Audiobook read really well. I switched back and forth with the hardcover. Worth a read, but not a favorite. #yabooks

Lazy morning with munster #cat and a #yabook. Cone is due to some almost-cleared acne that he couldn‘t stop scratching. He‘s a cold boy who needed a nest that I was happy to provide.

When Ariel town is smoked out he lives because he fell asleep in a refrigerator. The story goes back and forth from him being in camp with his "foster" brother and his life before. There is also little stories thrown in the book. This is a story that needs your undivided attention so you get what's going on. I love the humor in this book but also the seriousness this book tells about children in war, camps and etc.

#OctoberXFiles Day 11: This book has 4 ongoing storylines that seem to be vastly different from each other, including one about a #PsychoKiller. There is literary wordsmithing here, regardless of whether the reader feels uncomfortable with the themes that are just dealt with such head-on, brazen, fearless manner; and all the while, the narrator is left bleeding in the gutter carrying his fistful of dirt.

I've been a bit absent from Litsy the past week or so as school and work have been all consuming. I did get this Book Outlet delivery today though 😬 and can you believe ALL THESE ONLY COST $82 INCLUDING SHIPPING!!! How could I resist?

Featuring a talking crow, a genetic engineering subplot and the worlds weirdest summer camp, this book is young adult lit at its finest. Absolutely loved it. #ya

It took a wee bit for me to get into the story. Maybe because of the back and forth in time and POVs. But I liked it in the end.

This, right here, is how you spend a Sunday morning.

After @Ange44 and I looked at our overwhelming "not read" stacks we made a pact to make #tbr stacks of 10 each with very strict rules in place. Here is mine.

It didn't get the same attention as his Grasshopper Jungle, but The Alex Crow is also creative and exciting. #underrated #augustphotochallenge @TheSpinecrackersBookClub
