Welcome to Litsy!

Had the second of three MRIs this morning at 7am, which, incidentally, is the perfect time to whack up the schedule of the MRI practice when a 10-12min exam turns into a 40min exam. They found something minor but nobody told me about it at the moment and I spiraled a bit, until I read the results.

Anyway, I got myself some books, because an emotional roller-coaster is better with emotional support books.

Two audiobooks and one ebook.

Read this for #litsyscifibookclub I enjoyed the mix of characters. The plot was fast-paced and included a some mystery and a fun twist! The world of body modification was well-developed. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

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. 👏🏻

113/150 I'm glad I read this. I don't need to be starting a new series, but this was a lot of fun. The "rag-tag gang of misfits" is one of my favorite tropes, and I liked all the members of this crew, they all had distinct personalities, quirks and special skills. Also, although its Book 1, it doesn't leave you with a cliffhanger, so you can stop and enjoy one adventure with this crew. 4⭐⭐⭐⭐?
Book 113 finished for #Readaway2024

When the cover art is pretty enough to use as the endpapers too. Love it. 😍

Soft pick. It took me awhile to get into this one because I couldn‘t really connect with the characters (in particular Adequin Rake) but switching to audio helped. It‘s a very plot-focused space opera with lots of action, almost like watching a movie or TV series. However, the last 30% were gripping, and it set things up very well for a sequel, which I think could be even better (sort of like how Empire Strikes Back is even better than the OG SW).

Here's the books from your #AuldLangSpine list, @sebrittainclark, that were on #MountTBR already.

I'm trying to decide which book to start with, Cascade Failure (most looking forward to) or Bride (Hazelwood's last few romances have been #MoreMehThanYeah for me).

Guess I can always add a tenth book from the list and roll a D10. 😉

1. I met my Goodreads goal by completing the tagged book. It made me laugh and cry.
2. The pool was a little cold for my aquatics class Monday, so we warmed up with cross pool exercises to disco music.
3. South Korea stopping an attempted coup!
4. I spent all day yesterday going places and getting stuff done.
5. One stop was at a library branch I don‘t visit much. Since my last visit they have installed solar panels in the parking.

repost for @TheSpineView:

The December selection for #LitsySciFiBookClub #LSFBC is Stars Uncharted. My local library has the digital and audio book both available. Currently, the Kindle price is $7.99 in the US. It was published in 2018 so maybe there are a few used copies available if you prefer a physical book and your local library doesn't carry it. Happy Reading!
