Welcome to Litsy!

This author was May‘s #AuthorAMonth pick and I‘m very glad that I read this book. It was excellent and I highly recommend it! The audiobook was fantastic. The story was by turns hilarious, poignant, and disturbing. A brilliant satire. 5/5 ⭐️

First of all, that cover! The librarian who checked out my book haul went 😻and said she was looking forward to reading it too.

It reminds me of the movie RED for the novice thrown into a crazy situation vibe, with a strong side of H2G2 for the (foul mouthed) dolphins. Fast paced, very readable, and not subtle commentary on extreme wealth. The author is also a good follow on social media.

In Hilo today for 3 focus groups so today‘s haiku was inspired by my morning & flight home book choice which is this one (pictured) that I‘m reading for the #AuthorAMonth & thinking about what makes a perfect airplane book for me.

What kind of books do you like to read while flying?

I love this author. His books always make me laugh. Old Man's War is an interesting take on who gets to explore space. Would you sign up to fight in a war you've never seen at the age of 75? I can understand the draw of being young again, but to leave family behind in lieu of getting old would be very hard.

This is excellent. This author is fierce. I finished a few days ago. Definitely recommend.

And this tropical vegetation is exactly what the characters are facing in my #authoramonth book The Kaiju Preservation Society in #Greenland! So weird having these two books in the same country. #foodandlit @Catsandbooks @Soubhiville

Many years into the future, Earth has welcomed countless alien immigrants. Main characte/human Ashley is on her first day of the job serving the myriad aliens with constituent services—a sort of help desk—for the Third District. She helps a number of them right off the bat, with an upbeat, can-do attitude putting her on a collision course with a terror no one else in the city is aware of. Unbelievably all the little threads of stories come ⬇️

Acquired today for #authoramonth next month
