Welcome to Litsy!

I only have three hours left, and I‘m still not positive who is responsible for some deaths yet. It‘s starting to get warmer again, but I‘m still okay in the low 80s with a breeze. #audiowalk

I don't have the audiobook of this, so Camille's reading it aloud to me. There's more meowing and purring than I would have expected, so it's possible she's also translating it on the fly.

(I got, like, 3 productive things done this afternoon and now I feel invincible...and a little punchy.)(Do other people say "punchy" to mean "silly, laughing at everything", or is it regional/familial? I just want to make sure no one thinks it's like "stabby.")

39/100
You are at a huge advantage if you have not read a ton of Terry Pratchett or the UK children's writer Jacqueline Wilson, which I have not.

I do not think this burgeoning subgenre is for me: too much cross over with "literary horror", too slow a burn. A single nightmare is the first 60 pages of a horror novel (while the rest is a basically straightforward family drama) just... isn't enough for me.

Oof. I‘ve read 10/100 and that‘s being generous by assuming I read certain children‘s books. OTOH I‘ve probably bailed on at least 10 too. 🤣

Here are some I finished and enjoyed. #TLT
1. The Picture of Dorian Gray
2. The Color Purple
3. The Little Prince

The author uses original quotes by Shakespeare at the beginning of each chapter - sometimes they go well with the chapter, sometimes they don‘t.

Hey, let's go to outer space! That'd be fun, right?!
No, you lunatic. Space is the setting for horror in space. Such as here.

Your main character is trying to hide out from authorities due to her activism so she takes a cush if boring job hauling cryogenic bodies.

How scary could that be? They're dead, right?
RIGHT?! 😟
