Welcome to Litsy!

This book was so lovely. Four robots and a human open up a noodle shop. Even though it takes place in 2064, it has so much to say about the present. It takes place in San Francisco in a California that is no longer apart of America. I got emotional because there‘s a robot who got so excited when they learned how to make biang biang noodles and I got emotional when some robophobe 1star review bombs the restaurant and the same robot leaves to 👇🏼

Lovely book to end the series. Funny and wonderful characters and I will miss them all.

I made a challenge for #2026. #scavenger2026

Are you looking to broaden your book selections? Select books based on the cover or the title, depending on the prompt. There are 50 prompts in total. Alternatively, if some of the prompts are impossible for you to find, you could also look for the actual words in the prompt within the titles. DNFs count as long as you get past 50%!!!

Happy New Year Everyone, and welcome back to #ClassicLSFBC for 2026. We only had two selections for January, we will have them as our selections for January and February, to give everyone time to find the novels. January's selection will be Brave New World by Aldous Huxley, and February's selection will be A Canticle for Leibowitz by Walter M. Miller Jr. These books should be available at most libraries or book stores.

Happy New Year Everyone, and welcome back to #ClassicLSFBC for 2026. Since we only had two selections for January, we will have them as our selections for January and February, to give everyone time to find the novels. January's selection will be Brave New World by Aldous Huxley, and February's selection will be A Canticle for Leibowitz by Walter M. Miller Jr.. Either of these books should be available at most libraries or book stores.

This book was so-so; heavy on drama & romance, and relatively light on sci-fi. The story reminded me of a reality TV show, in that you're curious to see what happens next. I found the finale disappointing. But despite all of these, I did make it through the audiobook version!

Very excited to share our 2026 reading theme over at GatheringBooks: #AuthorAMonth2026 and #BIPOCIntlAuthorArtist2026. Will do my best to highlight authors who are BIPOC and whose books are published in languages other than English (and translated into English).
Here‘s the link to our announcement post: https://wp.me/pDlzr-s78 Do join us, too, if you are so inclined. What reading challenges are you joining this year?

August was another slow reading month, so Ursula K. LeGuin's “The Left Hand of Darkness“ has little competition. But it would have been a strong contender even in the busiest of months.
