Welcome to Litsy!

Good mix for April. Happy spring everyone

Way too philosophical for me. I enjoyed the plot...a planet's inhabitants are working quickly to prevent a catastrophic end to all species on their planet of Lusitania. When they started talking about physics and what created what, my mind wandered. I'm still glad I read it. For 30+ years, I wondered what became of Ender. #LitsyAtoZ @Texreader

Not my cup of tea 🤷🏼‍♀️

I was glad to have seen some of the somewhat ambivalent reviews of this from other Littens, because it made it easier to bail when it wasn‘t working for me. I gave the audio about an hour and a half and I was just so bored.

My #Roll100 picks for April are pretty sweet. I already read Jazz back in February, so only have two “musts”.

Marking Time will work for #SeriesLove2025, as it‘s the second in the Cazalet Chronicles.

I own a physical copy of Little Bee and will make it work for #OffMyShelf

#Jewelry. #CoverStories

Wow, for 149 pages, this book packs a punch. A man leaves his 10 year old daughter to go on a questionable quest. The journey that ensues is interesting but there are some terrifying moments for his daughter. I loved the character Old Woman From A Distance.

A strange little novel about resisting dominant social structures through a female protagonist who decides to stop eating meat and gradually
"devolves" further until she eventually wastes away, wishing to return to the earth as a tree. Graphic, violent descriptions, visually evocative. But overall didn‘t land as powerfully for me, perhaps something to do with the translation or because it leans toward fantastical which I typically don‘t enjoy.
