Welcome to Litsy!

#doublespin done - I LOVE these books! Another cosy, uplifting sci-fi book, interesting thoughts on history, community and tradition.

I‘m up earlyearlyearly to see if I can rent a bike and explore the Loire à Vèlo, but first: coffee and book. I read the first third of DREAMHEARTH while I waited for the rain to back off yesterday, and I‘m excited to read at least a third more today. If the bike rental isn‘t possible, or if there are lots of scenic lookouts to stop at, maybe I‘ll even finish it.

#DynamicDs Day 13: #Diamond - I have the entire series (just checked my bookshelves obsessively to check all titles are there), but haven‘t gotten around to reading it yet. Is it any good? Apparently it‘s been made into a film! 💕

Set in a future just-unified Korea with human-like robots. Slow going, for me; it feels like it might be translated into English (awkward word/ phrase choices, doesn‘t quite flow) but I can‘t find evidence for or against. The blurb does give away a twist which isn‘t revealed until part 2 (ch 9 of 51). The narrative (3rd person, past tense) jumps between 3 people but I‘m finding it difficult to get into their heads.

What‘s your favorite collection of short stories and or essays? Welcome to the Monkey House is one of my favorites. Which would you recommend?

Suzanne Collins knocks it out of the park once again! It's the second quarter quell and Haymitch's infamous Hunger Games with twice the number of children reaped. It was fascinating to see how the experiences in his teens made Haymitch the man he was when Katniss met him. I also loved the focus on propoganda and questioning why people don't fight back against oppression. Timely.

I swear, this is the second and final set of four I am recommending for #CampLitsy25. Lols. Hopefully, there are others who share my interest in all these titles. 💕

So good. I love Haymitch. All the characters were so fleshed out and I love the connections between this book and the original trilogy. You find out so much. And it‘s so tragic. Love this book.

what a cool concept…enjoyed the adventures #audiophile #readinggoal #readinglife
