Welcome to Litsy!

Kaiju No.8, volume 1
Sci-fi creature genre are not my usual reads, HOWEVER this series is awesome. I really enjoyed season 1 of the anime and knew I needed to add the series to my library. Why do I like it? First, the main character is a mid-aged adult (not typical adolescent). Secondly, it has humor!!! Not dark and brooding. Third, it‘s fun and I want more!!!!

2. All. I love physical books. Audiobooks are great for while I'm working and driving. Ebooks are perfect for when I want to read while laying down.

3. Fantasy

The current state of my A to Z challenge right now. I'm currently reading The Kaiju Preservation Society for K. Anyone have any recommendations for the other letters I need?

Thanks!

The reread confirms: this is a good time. It also solidifies for me that I don't need to own it. I can see picking it up from the library again in a few years, but not rereading it frequently enough to justify adding it to the very limited shelf space of my personal library. I think what impacted me most about it the first time around: 1/2

When you have to smother the hyena laugh in the lunch room at work. 🙊

Pfft, okay, I'll grant you, still 85% true. 🤦🏼‍♂️😅

Alas, another item added to the list of fictional works I would love to read if they were real! 😩

Off and racing on Wicked Words for 2024.

And VERY much enjoying this pacey novel about a multiverse scientific expedition to study and preserve kaiju on an alternate Earth - with the wackiest biology you've ever read.

I was at an SF con where Scalzi did an audience-prompted world-building exercise in which we ended up with octogoats. These Kaiju are far stranger. But no spoilers.
