Welcome to Litsy!

I haven't laughed so much at a book for the longest time. I'm really enjoying it so much. It's a bit scary as it's playing out like one of my many bizarre dreams. The cats are ace!!
This is why I love #AuthorAMonth @Soubhiville ❤️📚❤️ I would not have picked this author as a priority tbr, but I'm so glad to be introduced to his work.

In a world where so many serious things are happening it was perfectly timed that #AuthorAMonth brought me this book where very weird things are taken completely seriously. I loved the cats. I loved the dolphins. I loved the audiobook narration too.

Scalzi plays on all the stereotypes of fantasy and sci fi to write the opening to a series that doesn‘t exist. I repeat, even though it says it‘s book one, it‘s not. It‘s a parody of a series opener. It‘s very short (an 11-minute read) and often funny. An easy final read for June‘s #authoramonth @Soubhiville

I‘m so behind on my reviews—I finished this a couple of weeks ago for #AuthorAMonth June & I really enjoyed it. The pace, the humor, the cats & really the whole fantastical & fun story. This is my first John Scalzi & I would definitely read more. I‘d love another one set in this world that continues on with some of the secondary characters.

Purchased yesterday at Bagatelle Books in Asheville. A great way to practice my Spanish. Guess who is one of the featured women? Virginia Woolf, our #authoramonth next month! @Soubhiville

In the metaverse with countless versions of earth there happens to be one populated by kaiju—yes, those monstrosities of movie fame. Our earth has found a means to set up a base there to study and protect the kaiju. This is the story of some newbies on that Canadian base via #Greenland. The story is fun, often hilarious, and not without its bad guys who need putting in their place. Loved it! Perfect vacation read. #authoramonth #foodandlit

I started this short story last night to squeeze in one more book for #authoramonth. @Soubhiville

For July #AuthorAMonth. I have found Serial Reader to be a great way to get through classics. It‘s a free ap, and there are a lot of Woolf books on there, from 7-25 “issues”. Each “issue” is about a 10 minute read, making it easy to read for 2 short sessions a day and complete a tough classic in a month! I think I‘ll probably read her this way.

Hello #AuthorAMonth readers! We‘re down to about one week left with June‘s author John Scalzi. I hope he‘s been making you laugh.

July brings us to a classic with Virginia Woolf. I haven‘t read anything by her before and I‘m looking forward to it! Any recommendations for where to start?
