Deja Dead: A Novel | Kathy Reichs
post image

My lovely, clever, marvelous #Littens . I recently started rewatching Bones. And I‘ve realized I haven‘t read any of the books that the show is based on.

Are they any good? Should I give them a try?
#BookAdaptations

Ruthiella It‘s been ages since I read one. As I recall, they were pretty good. I think, however, the TV show is not an adaptation of the books but more loosely based on Kathy Reichs real life. 3w
vlwelser The books are good. But they have no relation to the show. You should try one. But think of it as a separate thing. 3w
Kristy_K Agree with @Ruthiella and @vlwelser . Books are good but outside of the MC‘s name and job, they are different. I enjoyed both the books and the show! 3w

julesG What the others said. The books are good, but it's definitely not about the TV serie's Tempe. I'd say the novels are the fictional/exaggerated story of Kathy's job. 3w
thebacklistbook According to an interview the TV series is about Kathy Reichs but she wasn't comfortable being directly depicted so they named the character after Tempe instead. The books are in my opinion good. As long as you don't go in expecting to recognize stuff from the show. 3w
Shemac77 I love the books! 3w
TrishB I love the books- but I‘ve never watched the series! 3w
LiseWorks I love the books, they are not like the show. 3w
BookBr The books are fantastic, but the show takes a very different take on the basics of the story… 3w
Read4life I‘ve enjoyed both. Like others have said, they are different. The books are closer to her real life where she splits her time between NC & Quebec. 3w
TNbookworm I love the show but haven't read any of the books either 🙂 3w

Lcsmcat Remember #theheidiproject from early Litsy days? I used to hunt up different editions in antique shops for @kasskho. Maybe I‘ll dig out my 1939 edition and finally read it. 😀 2mo
TheBookHippie @Lcsmcat 💕💕💕💕💕 oh my goodness!!! Ha. 2mo
mrp27 I‘ve never read it so I‘m really looking forward to it. 2mo

BarbaraJean Ooooh, a re-read of Heidi sounds delightful! Please do add me to your tag list for this one! 2mo
tpixie @Lcsmcat what a fun project!!! 2mo
tpixie @TheBookHippie I remember enjoying this as a child!! 2mo
Lcsmcat @tpixie I have often wondered what the end result was of that project. 2mo
tpixie @Lcsmcat it‘s sad when our fellow #Littens drop off the app and we don‘t have any other way to make sure they‘re OK 2mo
Lcsmcat @tpixie Agreed! 2mo
UwannaPublishme @mrp27 And I thought I was only one on the planet who hasn‘t read this yet!😅 Glad I‘m in good company! 2mo
mrp27 @UwannaPublishme Yay! Glad I‘m not alone too. I loved the Shirley Temple movie growing up. 2mo
UwannaPublishme @mrp27 We‘ll have to rewatch the movie after we finish the book. 😊 2mo

The Seven Moons of Maali Almeida | Shehan Karunatilaka
post image

I don't know if Shehan Karunatailaka is unusual in Sri Lanka, but for me it is an #UnusualAuthName. Some mixed reviews from #Littens. My musical friend said the audio would make Richard Wagner's Ring Cycle feel like an episode of Seinfeld. Whatever that means. 😏 #NewYearNewBooks (Google image of Ring Cycle performance from Lyric Opera of Chicago.) @Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

Eggs Fascinating 👏🏻👏🏻 3mo

Decided to go through my Litsy TBR to find a #NewYearNewBooks #TitleBeginsWithS. Yikes! Pic above is my list before I gave up trying to get through it all. Thankfully, I have reviews from #Littens to narrow the field. Though #Litten reviews is how my #tbr got so long in the first place. 😀 📚 🤩 Starting with tagged book from Libby. @eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

Eggs Great List 👍🏼👌🏼🙌🏻 3mo

Hey #Littens - @LiseWorks and I are planning a re-read of this futuristic detective series and are wondering if anyone wants to join in a low-key stress-free join-when-you-want buddy read. We would do one book per month (so we‘re talking a few years here 😂). Would this be of interest to anyone? I know there are dozens of buddy reads but this series is so good! Mind the trigger warnings though - it can be graphic. Let us know your thoughts!

AileenRR Sounds like fun! I‘ve only read the first 5 or 6 I think, and I keep meaning to return to this series 😊 4mo
IndoorDame I‘ll hop in for the first few! I read the beginning of the series in middle school (don‘t know why that was allowed) and have been thinking lately it would be fun to revisit! (edited) 4mo
StayCurious @IndoorDame omg in middle school! Wow 4mo

IndoorDame @StayCurious yeah, I had very hands off parents ??‍♀️ the only time I remember them balking at a book I bought is when I decided I wanted to read Anaïs Nin, but they still sort of shrugged and said whatever in the end 4mo
PageShifter Yes!!! I have read quite many years & years ago and have planned to start the series from the 1st book again at some point 4mo
Librarybelle I‘d be very interested! 4mo
ShananigansReads I haven‘t had a great track record with buddy reads but I‘ve always wanted to read this series and would like to join. 4mo
Read4life I would like to join in. I‘ve read some but would love to read them with a group. 4mo
