Welcome to Litsy!

I haven't read a Scalzi that didn't make me cackle with laughter and this was no exception! I really love the character of the bumbling new manager who's in over his head. The cats and the dolphins were of course wonderful but I loved the mystery and spy novel of it all as well.
I'm glad #AuthorAMonth made me finally listen to this one, I've had it for a while. Plus Wil Wheaton's narration was the cherry on top! #AAM @Soubhiville

My goodness! Fantastic! I completely understand accolades, awards, and astonishment that this book has received. I agree with others who have suggested this be taught alongside Huck Finn. Everett deftly managed to honor Twain‘s work while pointing out its flaws and shortcomings with care and love. #AAM #authoramonth @Soubhiville

May #Bookspin looking good! Left pretty broad but I‘ve got picks for #Roll100 , #AAM , and #netgalleygrou‘s go!!!!

This started out a bit slow but when it got going-my goodness. I couldn‘t stop listening! I both read and listened to this one so I could spend more time with the story-it was that good. She is such an amazing writer, really drops you into the historic world and the way she wove the different element together was masterful. Highly recommend! #AAM @Soubhiville #authoramonth

Still have a few days, but thought I'd post this in case I forget. Pretty good reading month, even if I dnf'ed my #aam.

Bardugo's “Grishaverse“ is inspired by world history and mythology, and here she takes some of the classic tales of our world and shows how they might have played out in hers. The prose is gorgeously and emotionally fraught; although not really any darker than the originals, they expose the darkness in different ways.

Even better than the first book. Complex, dark, twisty and achingly romantic, as the characters fight for their lives and their loves, battles they may not be able to win. Includes one of the most powerful scenes of hand-holding ever written.

I enjoyed the first series in this universe, but this one is so much stronger. Bardugo really learned the lesson of not making the villain the most interesting character in the story; instead we have a crew of six young adults, all with their own challenges and darkness to overcome, on a terrific heist adventure. Can't wait for the next one.

I'm trying to get away from numerical goals but the satisfaction of a full board does make it harder. 😋
