#PrayingToTheAliens

Not so much #PrayingToTheAliens as praying WITH the aliens, but it‘s the first book I thought of.

When a ship of insectoid aliens crashes in Germany in 1349, the creatures slowly incorporate themselves into the small village of Oberhochwald. They help with the crops, make friends and enemies, and many convert to Christianity. Then the Black Death hits.

A fascinating look at faith, plus aliens with jet packs. #Recommendsday #NuYear

DrexEdit Wow! 😨😨 Stacked! 😊 7y

#NuYear #PrayingToTheAliens 👽🤖👽🤖👽🤖My favorite aliens to pray to would be in the Themis Files trilogy. The tagged book is the third and it comes out in May. I can't wait so I will be praying to the aliens for an #ARC. 🙏🏻👽👽👽 @Neuvel

Lmstraubie I love those covers! 7y
joshua828 What are the books about? The covers are intriguing😱😱 7y

DebinHawaii @joshua828 It's hard for me to explain it very well in so few characters so look at the blurb on the first book I tagged below for a better explanation. In short they are science fiction about ancient giant robot parts found all over earth & the story is uniquely told through interviews, reports & other documents. See.., hard to explain. 🤣They are good! 7y
carys14 @joshua828 the audiobooks are some of the best ones I have listened to in a while. You would think the interview/report format wouldn‘t translate well to audio but it was handled really well. Also sometimes books with multiple narrators are clunky but this one flowed smoothly between chapters. 7y
DebinHawaii @carys14 @joshua828 Yes! The audiobooks are really well done. 👍👍 7y
joshua828 @DebinHawaii haha. Hmmmmmm. Intriguing. I'll look for it in scribd. ♥️♥️ 7y
Cinfhen I loved book one, but was disappointed with book two... 7y
DebinHawaii @Cinfhen I liked the first book better than the second, but I did like the second and I really want to see how it all ends up. 👍 7y
Cinfhen Yes, I'm curious to see how it all ends too!! 7y
TrishB Not read the series - though have seen it a lot on Litsy! 7y
AThousandLives87 Ah! Thanks for letting me know about the third book!!!...going to preorder it now!!! 📚📚📚 7y
BethFishReads Can‘t wait for the audio! 7y
TNbookworm Yay! Can't wait to read! 7y

I have not read this. It is on my shelf awaiting me. But when I saw the prompt I thought of this Book. Why? Because I know it involves God and when my sister read my copy she said it was “weird”. That is all. 😜 #nuyear #prayingtothealiens

Suet624 It was weird. Kind of blah. 7y
Cinfhen I like the cover @Suet624 7y
TrishB An intriguing title though! 7y

My husband gave me this self published book last year. It was written by a local woman who worked at our Township. What surprised me was how much I enjoyed it! On a girl‘s 17th Birthday, she discovers that her father was very special. She meets him in the desert of Delamar, Nevada, and then proceeds to his planet! #prayingtothealiens #nuyear

TrishB Wow 👍🏻 another cool, unheard of book! 7y
DivineDiana @TrishB A fun read! 7y

#NuYear #day3 #PrayingToTheAliens The aliens in this series, The Radch, certainly consider themselves if not gods, then certainly the ruling power in the galaxy. This is one of the best sci-fi novels I‘ve read in a long time with an extremely unique world filled with non-gendered Radch, sentient AI‘s with governance over thousands of corpse soldiers & outer worlds full of wild frontiers.

TrishB There is a whole world of sci-fi out there I‘ve never heard of!! 7y
JuliaTheBookNerd This trilogy is on my TBR for this month! It sounds so good! 7y
Cinfhen Sounds so familiar~ was it made into a film??? 7y
Dragon Totally agree @Lizpixie such a cool book and series! 7y
SaraFair Just started reading last night. I keep having to reread sentences to get their meaning. Challenging to this brain! 7y

Closer to praying as an alien than #prayingtothealiens. This will probably be my #unconventionalromance for #Booked2018.

Told in the language of a Chinese English-language-learner, and through dictionary terms, this is the story of a young student's first visit to the UK, where she falls for an older man. I'm looking forward to getting started on this one.

TrishB I get slightly freaked out at airports when you have to stand in a queue that says alien!! 7y
Cinfhen Package went out today 😘10 to 14 business days🤞🏼🤞🏼 7y
rockpools @TrishB It never sounds warm and welcoming, does it? 7y
rockpools @Cinfhen 😊Oooh! Thank you! I'll let you know as soon as it arrives. 😘 7y

#NuYear #Prayingtothealiens this is the only book I‘ve ever read with aliens. It is probably the worst book I‘ve ever read to the very end. It came highly recommended and I was convinced it would get better but a pile of shite! 💩

TrishB 😂😂I know how much you love this book! 7y
TommieMarie74 I despise this book despite having never read it. It published while I was in junior high and my first name is Tommie. Sadly, I was also one on the most, um, “well endowed” girls in my class. So, from 1987 on my nickname became Tommie Knockers. I refuse to read the book on principle. 😑 7y
GoldenGirl I tired to read it years ago and it's awful! I think this was after King's drug use....which explains a lot. 7y

DeborahSmall @TommieMarie74 😂😂 poor you!! I don‘t think I‘d have attempted to read it either 😘 7y
DeborahSmall @GoldenGirl drug use certainly explains it!! @TrishB I always meant to ask you if you enjoyed this one? I‘ve read other novels by King and love them but the writing in this is awful (in my opinion) 7y
JanuarieTimewalker13 I don‘t even think Stephen King liked this book! It was suggested to me years ago and I read it, unfortunately. 7y
Reggie @TommieMarie74 😂😂😂I‘m so sorry but that was hilarious. 7y
Cinfhen Same @Reggie too funny not to comment @TommieMarie74 ❣️❣️❣️😂😂😂 7y
Cinfhen And thanks for the honest opinion, Deborah ❤️ 7y
TrishB No - the writing was poor which meant the story just didn‘t flow at all, I don‘t remember hating it as much as you - but I‘ve never wanted to read again . He definitely has a not at his best period 😁 7y
LeahBergen 😂😂 7y
Caroline2 I remember hating this as a teenager and I didn't read any more Stephen king for yearsssss after, it really put me off! 😳 7y

This Goodreads giveaway win is a quirky one! 3 people are on the hunt to find a reclusive Sci-Fi writer who may have discovered something astonishing about the universe that caused him to keep his latest novel a secret. Written as a book-within-a-book, part sci-fi, part satire, this one is a real risk for me!! Wondering if I could use for any #popsugar18 or #booked18 prompts- otherwise it might be tough to pick up....

TommieMarie74 Could it work as a humor read for one of your challenges? 7y

After his mother falls into depression, after the same aged twins down the street are found mysteriously drowned, after his father moves in the woman he is having a blatant affair with to nurse his barely there mother, a young Shark wets his pants after an air raid drill at school. When his father finds out, Shark, knowing he is to be spanked, runs away to a field where he is found #prayingtothealiens. This is barely pg 15. #NuYear

Reggie @Kaye by the end of this book, after the first time I read it, I was exhausted. A really good exhausted. @TobeyTheScavengerMonk Thanks man!!! 7y
Kaye Wow, Reggie. I just looked it up on Amazon. All the 5 star reviews ! It sounds like it‘s pretty expensive and not easy to find ( not in kindle form at all). You might want to guard it with your life. It sounds as though it‘ll be quite a collectors item someday. ✨✨✨ 7y
Cinfhen I‘m loving these page summaries 😜keep them coming, please!!!! 7y
