Welcome to Litsy!

I was originally going to tag The Hunger Games, but then I remembered how much I enjoyed this book when I read it! It‘s always encouraging to read about the strength of a community coming together against a rising fascist power.

#SundayFunday Hope you all are staying safe and healthy, and don‘t forget to tag me in your posts!

Second #roll100 read, and I enjoyed this near-future dystopia, although it‘s was frighteningly plausible. Not sure about the bovine chorus, but I liked the intertwining stories and some interesting themes raised.

#AboutABook Day 19: #Pub100YearsAgo - yet it still resonates.

I love books like this … and B movies … it‘s like WestWorld had a baby with a VR video game with grampa Jurassic Park overseeing it. It takes place hundreds of years in our future.

A crime drama, mystery, amateur women sleuths, sci-fi thriller, with a side of creepy AI.

Murder Land … where everyone dresses up and interacts with famous (serial) killers! Need I say more?

Good morning my #JuneOfARC littens, and thank you for coming along with me on this journey to work on our NetGalley backlogs!

We‘ve finished the month, and so I‘m wondering if there‘s any old ARC you read that you really want to recommend!

I was actually surprised by how much I enjoyed the tagged book! It ended up being much more hopeful than I had thought!

Strangers Rose & Beo come together as their city seethes w/ violence when the National Peoples‘ Voice ramps up their propaganda against the “unnatural degenerates” threatening the city.

Wow! A very powerful read about the encroachment of facism, the strength of community coming together against hate. A sweet poly romance & the power of stories! Everything resolved more easily than I anticipated, but that‘s an allure of fiction right?🌕🌕🌕🌕🌗

After a busy start to the day (farmer's market, lots of cooking, Eid lunch, IT troubleshooting for the elderly, and an hour's work) it's time to relax with a cup of lemon verbena tea, leftover cheesecake & some lovely raspberries . And the tagged book.

The political situation being what it is in France right now, I find it hard to concentrate on books, but I did finish Epilogue of the Raindrops (although I probably was too distracted to really take it all in) and a small collection of poems by Sigurbjörg Þrastardóttir. I am starting Blackout Island.

Banksy is always needing and looking for attention. My favorite time of the has become our bedtime when he wants to snuggle while I'm reading.

That was surprisingly better than I expected it to be 😊
The first story is basically a Western with Dredd as sheriff in a border town run by a corrupt business family, with high explosive weapons, mutants and radioactive twisters.
The second story sees Dredd battered and bloodied, running a gauntlet of violent perps in a locked-down Mega-Block, not dissimilar to the excellent Karl Urban Dredd movie.
