Welcome to Litsy!

#12Booksof24 I‘m a few days late starting this challenge, but here‘s my picks for the first months of this year. January - Revenge by Tom Bower( Meghan is awful)plus it was the only book I read in January!
February - House of Flame & Shadow by Sarah.J.Maas March - Aurora Rising by Alistair Reynolds, one of the best scifi series I‘ve read.

Complex and exciting series about great ships plying trade among the stars. A conspiracy must be exposed and defeated.

Strong characterization, twisty plot, fascinating aliens and a magnificent AI.

On my way to finish this one... As i know it is at least a trilogy I am not expecting much to be solved. Nicely paced, curious on the TV adaptation...

Well it‘s been 8 years since I first posted about this book when it arrived in a mystery box and I‘ve finally gotten around to reading it! A bit more battered now after the dog got hold of it as a puppy 🙈 but quite enjoyable. A soft pick.

So we have our five nominated books for January, and February, #ClassicLSFBC selection.
The Ship Who Sang by Anne McCaffrey
The Martian Chronicles by Ray Bradbury
Freedom's Landing by Anne McCaffrey
The Demolished Man by Alfred Bester
The Zero Stone by Andre Norton
All good choices for sure. Voting starts now until 12/30, with the winner announced New Years Eve. The runner up will be our selection for February.

Hi Everyone!! I'm trying to be better with my mid-month check-in for #ClassicLSFBC. I hope everyone was able to find a copy of Doomsday Book by Connie Willis, either in print, ebook or audiobook. Now is the time to make nominations for January's #ClassicLSFBC selection. As usually, the book with the most votes will be January pick and the runner up will be for February. With it being a new year, with a new presidential administration, ⬇️

Expected publication: 27 March 2025

I'm shamelessly quoting from the Afterword and Acknowledgements of the review copy I was generously granted: this is "a book about the moon turning to cheese, [...] each chapter represent[s] a day in the lunar cycle, each chapter with mostly different characters in mostly different places in the United States, reacting to it in ways specific [to] them alone"

I don't THINK any of this is a spoiler but I went into the book knowing nothing at all and had a wonderful time, so maybe just take my recommendation to read it, and come back to this review if you feel like sharing the love (or yelling at me) after you've read it. 1/?

Second instance of Shaan cutting efficiently through the BS. Maybe it's personally motivated, but it propels the plot, and I love her for it. 👏🏻
