Happy New Year‘s Eve!
On this here, the expiration of all things 2025, I will be celebrating with Carl, Donut, and a new planner for 2026, while admiring these two beauties (bottom left) that arrived today from my #LibraryThing #SantaThing secret Santa!

I just upgraded my IPad to iOS 18.4.1, and now Litsy isn‘t working right. I can‘t like posts, and it won‘t let me add an image to this post. Anyone else having similar problems?

A high-voltage sci-fi adventure story in a Disneyland-like amusement park of the future. The computer programming starts to glitch increasingly, pixel-holes, a few hushed-up attacks & accidents happen. Soon the AI goes fully awry and the remaining guests and staff of the park have to fight for their lives against attractions turned unpredictable & murderous to find a way out of the madhouse.
I just wanted to share that thanks to @CloakNQuill and the #HauntedHollowSwap , I am officially over 1000 books in #LibraryThing ! 🖤🧡🖤
pickI'm generally not a fan of science fiction so I attempted to start this book with an open mind. I'm glad I was able to do so because I was quickly impressed and hooked by chapter three. I'm used to not liking books like this because they are usually overdescriptive when it comes to the world building and don't make much sense. ..... cont

My current read, an eARC by LibraryThing's #EarlyReviewer program. An #anthology about seasons and the circular nature of life and, well, #nature itself.

Excited for this month's #Bookspin and even more so for the #Doublespin picks!
#Bookspin was one of the LTER ( #LibraryThing Early Reviewers) eARCs still to be read & reviewed - those I need to prioritize on my TBR anyway.
That makes them perfect for participating in #ARCApril , too!
And the #Doublespin was one of my fave choices on the whole list! I was just looking for an excuse to put it on top of my TBR... 😁

This is turning out to be a great book! I requested it from the #EarlyReviewer program on #LibraryThing. I was interested in reading more about Benjamin Banneker as I am familiar with him because I live near where his historical home was. The book is written by his descendant who is a white woman. Its discussion of #race in a historical context as well as in current times is fascinating. This is a beautifully written and well researched book.
