Welcome to Litsy!

@Ericalambbrown said listening to this book was like listening to Siri read it to you, and she‘s absolutely right. It was still fun, although I found the mc, Florrie, to be a bit old fashioned for her actual age. She also screamed a lot, and instead of telling someone she wasn‘t interested in him she kept going out with him or lying to him about a new relationship in order not to hurt his feelings. I hate that. Still it‘s a pick.

Listened to this one for FOTL. It was a fun little whodunnit to keep me company during weekend chores. The audiobook was kinda like if Siri was reading a book to me so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. But still fun for what it is - a “cozy mystery” that is brain candy to relax.

After being annoyed and hesitant about his assignment to write to his new pen pal, Clunk from planet Quazar, a young boy decides that he will send Clunk an array of different undesirable items – including his big sister! After an exchange of gross gifts, Clunk returned the boy‘s sister with a note that says, “I did not like your sister”. From there, a friendship was formed as they bonded over the dislike of his sister.

Sadly I was introduced to this book because of controversy. The guy behind Inktober is releasing a book which looks to have heavily plagurised this one.

The positive is that it has made me get off arse, I have been meaning to get back into art and this seems like a really good introduction to drawing. Might update when I've graduated from strokes and scribbles to an actual image. 😆

Book is set in Washington, DC, featuring Florrie Fox, a colouring book artist & manages a bookstore. Setting is great but everything else doesn‘t work for me. I couldn‘t warm up to Florrie, some characters felt caricature, the murder investigation is ridiculous & romance part is laughable. Only cool thing is the front & back cover of the paperback copy showing an elaborate drawing where readers can colour in (I read on ebook).

"Earth to Clunk” is a wonderful SF book; it was written by Pam Smallcomb and the Illustrations are by Joe Berger. The book won the Duck Award for Excellence in Children's Science Fiction in 2017.#ucflae3414su20

On a murder mystery kick. Came across this one on Libby and can't stop listening. I love a mystery with an unlikely sleuth.

Gift from my husband today.You can actually color the covers of this book! Just liked this quote. 🖍
