Welcome to Litsy!

@TheSpineView Thank you for the tag! I have had my ☕️ coffee! Relaxing day ahead after some silly shopping! Maybe a walk in the sunshine and then I hope to knit all while listening to the tagged book. @AllDebooks

A take on P&P that involves taking the public domain original text and adding to it. I loved a lot of the artwork and often clever changes to make things futuristic (as well as making Lydia and Mary more tolerable).

I was less sure about some of the PoV changes, and I struggled with some of the historic tone and original sensibilities juxtaposed against the space setting and more modern-sounding additions, which was sometimes a bit jarring.

Very philosophical genre fiction. Normally I don't go for the more literary or thought experiment sci fan but this was very good and I didn't actually mind that there are no real plot answers.

woah, eww, and what did I just read? I think I liked it? Everything that is happening in this book is confusing. I honestly have no idea who this book would be appealing to. It is vulgar and vile, but also hilarious. The explicit language and constant mentioning of being horny because of so many different things was just too much for me. The sci-fic aspect was the coolest part with giant grasshoppper/praying mantis-type bugs taking over the world.

I've never really payed much attention to Mace, so I'm glad to spend some time with him and getting to know him better. The setting is just as fascinating as the main character himself. And so are the other characters we meet here. This book is a great addition to the extended universe and I have a whole new impression of Mace Windu.

I liked Dorothy Gentleman. She's a future Miss Marple. Loves knitting and solving crimes.

I'm really looking forward to the next book in the series.

From Upward local, always fun when you come to read a story in a place you visited and knew exactly where the action is taking place :)

As Joe Hill has announced his first novel to be published in nearly a decade, my #ThorsDayRec is his epic The Fireman. This isn't my favorite novel by Hill, but it was the first Joe HIll book I read & I was riveted & think it is def well-worth reading.

The Animorphs just keep finding themselves in situations! This time it‘s because Marco wants to sneak into an outdoor concert in dog morph and spots an old school friend who curiously doesn‘t smell human… which COULD MEAN NOTHING but obviously doesn‘t because this is an Animorphs book!

Love all the ethical dilemmas that are getting woven in to these stories - I just know that there is going to be a ripple effect of consequences down the line.
