Welcome to Litsy!

Here are a few questions to think on for our December selection, Stars Uncharted by S.K. Dunstall.

1. A lot of concepts/technologies were presented (aka body modification) that where farfetched. Do you think the author handled it well?
2. Most everyone had something they were escaping. Do you think this over complicated the plot?
3. What worked and didn't work for you in this book?

Feel free to discuss anything. These questions are just to...

I didn't get any books for Xmas/ my birthday but I did get a gift card and some money so #bookhaul time! 5 books and an agenda for the new year, very pleased with my haul. Everything I got was on sale too except Capture the Sun. That's probably the one I'll start as soon as I finish my current physical book.

I hope all of you had/are having lovely, relaxing, bookish holidays. Wishing you all the best.

I read a lot of great stuff in April, but for me, the crowning achievement was finishing the Imperial Radch trilogy with re-reading the first two books and then finally reading Ancillary Mercy. I really loved everything about it, the characters, the world, the writing, the emotions, the weirdness.

#12Booksof2024 I‘m a few days late starting this challenge, but here‘s my picks for the first months of this year. January - Revenge by Tom Bower( Meghan is awful)plus it was the only book I read in January!
February - House of Flame & Shadow by Sarah.J.Maas March - Aurora Rising by Alistair Reynolds, one of the best scifi series I‘ve read.

I had three 5 🌟 reads for March, but by far, the best one was Cascade Failure. I loved everything about it, the found family aspect, the word building, the action and the snarky humor. I highly recommend it, even to those people who claim they're not really fans of science fiction.

Complex and exciting series about great ships plying trade among the stars. A conspiracy must be exposed and defeated.

Strong characterization, twisty plot, fascinating aliens and a magnificent AI.

My husband and I had to go into the city to do a thing at the Apple Store. “Let‘s just drop in and say hi to Stefen at Stefen‘s Books, we don‘t need any more books but you know we‘ll just have a look”.

At first I thought this was a slow read, but then I was drawn into the found family vibes and needed to know how they would get out of the pickle they'd got themselves into.

I will probably read the next book in the series/duology soon.

This series hits most of my special interests. Intriguing alien tech, surprising characters, twists and turns. This book was a bit confusing for me though, because they were jumping back and forth too much in different timelines. Still, happily continuing the series.
