Welcome to Litsy!

Via @TheSpineView #LSFBC #LitsySciFiBookClub

Please accept my apologies that we skipped a month. Health issues prevented me from doing a lot of things. Anyway, I am picking up where we left off with voting. The winner is Rabbits by Terry Miles. My library has it and I see used copies on Amazon at low as $6.59 and ebay starting at $4.72.

Maybe my best month ever? 22 books! A few minor holidays and less schoolwork really make a difference! #bookspinbingo @thearomaofbooks

6 Bingos!
12 Audiobooks
4 Nonfiction (2 memoirs)
4 Graphic Novels (YA and MG)
7 Middle Grade

Funny! Only a little too meta at the end. Definitely a reminder that main character energy is bad for your health and the health of those around you. There's an "aw-shucks" vibe to all of Scalzi's main characters that I'm beginning to grow tired of, however. #LitsySciFiBookClub

Ensign Dahl is newly assigned to the starship Intrepid. When he gets there, he learns that ensigns die on away missions. A lot. What he discovers will change everything about his world.

This was so meta, I strained my eyes rolling them. I also laughed harder than I have in a while, so 🤷🏼‍♀️. This poked loving fun at sci fi tv, but also turned into a moving story about taking control of your own destiny. The codas did feel unnecessary.🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑

Lieutenant Kerensky is Miles O‘Brien, and I will not be taking criticism. 😂

Oh dear. I‘ve been listening to this sci fi space opera/romance while falling asleep for a couple months (maybe since it was voted in for #litsyscifibookclub?) and now I‘m very wide awake after the creepy-fungal-misprints-in-the-trees interlude 😳🥶 🙉 I‘m just picturing a bunch of Last of Us monsters, anyone else from #lsfbc find this more of a heart-pounder than they thought?
Welp time to finish it in daylight and find a new bedtime story!

The January Selection for the #LitsySciFiBookClub #LSFBC is Redshirts by John Scalzi. My library has the physical book, ebook and audio all currently available. Hopefully you will be able to find it for free too. I happen to have a physical copy in my personal library; therefore, I am all set. Happy Reading!
