Welcome to Litsy!

Graudin imagines a world where the Axis powers won WWII and continued expanding territory. Yael, survivor of concentration camp medical experiments, has a unique opportunity to serve the resistance by racing in the Axis Tour, a motorcycle race from Germany to Japan, the victor of which will meet Hitler himself. Action packed, filled with moral quandaries and a near romance, this is excellent alternate history. Getting right into #2 in the duology!

Another one that I can‘t believe I waited so long to read. This was a depressing dystopian about how humans are awful…at least that‘s how I saw it😂

It's all about #bannedbooks for me this week. From the King himself: “When a book is banned, a whole set of thoughts is locked behind the assertion that there is only one valid set of values, one valid set of beliefs, one valid perception of the world. It‘s a scary idea, especially in a society which has been built on the ideas of free choice and free thought“ (Stephen King).

My incredibly ambitious TBR pile for the upcoming period of time. At least I have some good ones! #tbrmountain #upnext #toomanybooks #notenoughtime #sendhelp 🤩💙🥹📚

I‘m not a fan of #Zombie films or novels, but this was an interesting take on the genre, where a fungal infection puts people into a zombie-like state, with the exception of some children, who are sort of “high functioning” zombies.

Book cover scavenger hunt: landscape

Selected because the titular landscape sounds delicious.

Happy October #AuthorAMonth readers! My post is late this month as I had a visit from my sister and my Mom just moved in with me. I hope you‘ve already picked up your October author, Octavia Butler. Please take care of yourself while reading, as she goes dark and her fiction feels timely as she addresses inequality and other fights we are currently in politically.

What are you hoping to read?

This book was wonderful! I love the depth of character brought to Haymitch. While it‘s very sad, you see the hope at the end-knowing how it all ends. Fantastic book-my favorite since catching fire.

That was a struggle to get through. I didn't like Snow. Lol it felt like it drug on.

Started the tagged book last night while having a good hot dog and a fruity beer.
