95/150 An interesting and informative overview of the American space program. From its humble beginnings with the Mercury program, through Gemini, the Apollo moon landing, the Space Shuttles and finally the ISS (International Space Station). Kate Mulgrew (aka Captain Janeway) was an excellent choice for narrator. 4 ⭐⭐⭐⭐

After a quick trip to the used book store to drop off a load of books, I decided to treat myself. I was already getting the Star Wars book, but I'm excited to read the book about 80s action stars. The author wrote a very good book, Wild & Crazy Guys, about 80s comedy stars.

RamsFan1963 @TieDyeDude While I think Empire is the superior film to A New Hope, I thought the first FACPOV book was better than the sequel. 3d

Kissing September goodbye, it flew by so fast. My main goals for this readathon is to finish Project Hail Mary for #LitsySciFiBookClub and The Space Race on audio, so that
I can start Starter Villain (audio) and From A Certain Point of View: Return of the Jedi with the beginning of October.
Good luck to everyone joining in.

92/150 Interesting but fairly generic dystopian story. Telos, the evil all-knowing corporation, has taken advantage of a pandemic to take control of New York City and state using the inhabitants for further scientific experiments. The rag tag band of resistance hunts for proof of Telos's misdeeds. It's not awful, but it is full of genre cliches. 3 ⭐⭐⭐

Shamble has several cases running at the same time, trying to find out who's scalping werewolves gives the book its title, but all the various cases dovetail into each other by the end.

I wasn't sure which one to choose, since there's a preface, and introduction and a chapter 1, so here's the first line of each.
Preface - "The mass of people expect a King or Queen to look and play the part."
Introduction - "The origins of England's monarchy can be traced to the second century BC, when Celtic and Belgae tribesmen, emigrated from continental Europe, settled in England."
Continued in comments ⬇️

88/150 Another Audible original not in Litsy's data base. Failed actor & food delivery driver, Jack Diller's life is going nowhere, when he discovers a self help book called The Killer Instinct. Jack starts following the advice, which only leads him into a spiral of crime and murder. It might not sound like it, but it's actually pretty funny at times. Will Wheaton & Ron Perlman are great narrators as Jack and the audiobook. 3 ⭐⭐⭐ 1/2

87/150 This book is not in Litsy data base, probably because it's an Audible exclusive. On the planet Croatoan, Detective Cade is investigating the murder of a high level official. Cade is your typical honest (mostly) cop stuck in a corrupt system. The audio is only 2 1/2 hours, so the world building and characterization are pretty bare bones. The ending does leave it open for more adventures with DCI Cade but I think I'll pass. 3 ⭐⭐⭐

Of the three books I'm currently reading, I think my best choice would be the supernatural New Orleans French Quarter of Kevin J. Anderson's Hair Raising. Being on a spaceship bound for who knows where (Project Hail Mary) or early 12th Century England (Crown & Sceptre) doesn't sound as much fun.

86/150 I'm still giving this a pick, even though I didn't enjoy it as much as the first two of the series. There was a good mystery, some clever misdirection, lots of clever banter, and a satisfying reveal of the murderer. My problem with the book is Richard's development as a character. After 3 murder investigations, when his own life was often in danger, Richard is pretty much the same guy at the
⬇️⬇️⬇️

RamsFan1963 beginning of the first book. Still timid, no self confidence, bumbling, confused and easily rattled. If there's a 4th book in the series, I hope the author invests Richad with a stronger backbone, and maybe some confidence in his developing detective skills. 3 ⭐⭐⭐ 1/2 1mo

Owls are such amazing creatures, if you don't love them now (and who doesnt?), you will after you finish this detailed look into the lives, eating, breeding and mating habits of these beautiful birds.

RamsFan1963 @MommyWantsToReadHerBook @EclecticBookLover @S3V3N So I guess it's not my phone but a problem with the site in general. Last night, I could look at the site but no pictures would come up, then today the who site wouldn't open on my phone. I don't know why Litsy is missing from the Google Play store.
This is so frustrating!!!
2mo
MommyWantsToReadHerBook @RamsFan1963 well it definitely makes me not want to need to uninstall. What a mess. Are you on that Litsy group on Facebook for what it's worth? 2mo
JenReadsAlot @CatLass007 Mine aren't either! 2mo
RamsFan1963 Something is seriously wrong with the Litsy app. I tried to download it from the Amazon app store and it said it could not install at this time 2mo
RamsFan1963 @MommyWantsToReadHerBook @EclecticBookLover @S3V3N @CatLass007 I FINALLY got Litsy reinstalled on my phone. I had to go through the Amazon App store. I'm still having the problem of not seeing images, but that a site problem from what I hear. Hopefully it will be fixed soon 2mo
rwmg I've got pictures back now 2mo
CatLass007 I‘m glad you were able to get Litsy reinstalled on your phone. I didn‘t even know Amazon has an App Store. 2mo
EclecticBookLover Glad you got it back! Hopefully they will fix the other issues soon. 2mo
Megabooks I‘ve read from other users that the Litsy app is no longer available in Google Play. LT has not been responsive as far as I‘ve read in sharing why. Rn I‘m typing this from a browser window on my phone using litsy.com, but it is not perfect here either but much better than on my app. That‘s what I‘d recommend. Using a browser app on your phone and logging into litsy.com there. Sorry I‘m not of more help. 2mo
RamsFan1963 @Megabooks Yeah it's weird, if I go to Litsy.com I can see the pictures, but not on the phone app. Hopefully they'll get this glitch fix quickly. I'm guessing more people use the app than access the site from litsy.com 2mo
S3V3N @RamsFan1963 Thanks for the update. 2mo
The_Penniless_Author Thanks for the updates. I'm having the same issue with not seeing pictures (on the app; haven't tried the website lately), but at least I know now it's not just me. 2mo
Zoes_Human I have Apple devices and the situation is similar. In the app on my tablet and phone, I can see posts but not the pictures that go with them. The website works fine on my laptop. However, Litsy IS available in the App Store for Apple products. However, when you try to login after a reinstall, you get the message “This app is not accessible right now and the app developer is aware of the issue. You will be able to log in when the app is reactivate 2mo
CrystalE02 I have been using the website for a couple of weeks now because I can't find the app on the Google play store and had to create a new account because mine was set through my Facebook account. 2mo
RamsFan1963 @CrystalE02 I had to go to the Amazon App store because Litsy wasn't available on Google Play store anymore. You can download it from there 2mo
Bookwomble @Megabooks @CrystalE02 I don't really understand the tech stuff, but message 18 in this thread from Library Thing has a workaround for installing the Litsy app onto an Android device. Hope it's helpful 🙂 https://www.librarything.com/topic/349351 2mo
mandarchy Thank you for this conversation! I just figured out how to get Litsy on my new phone. I had to download the 2017 version, but it's better than none at all. 1mo

77/150 The second book in The Dispatcher series makes for an entertaining mystery. In a world where people who are murdered come back to life, finding ways to kill people has to become more creative. I really like Zachary Quinto's narration, he has a strong voice and he's gone with doing various character voices, male & female, and accents. 3
⭐⭐⭐ 1/2

76/150 For some reason, I enjoy SW books that deal with the bad guys more than the ones about the Jedi. Iskat Akaris begins as a padawan during the Clone Wars, and quickly promoted to Jedi Knight. Always feeling like an outsider and questioning the Jedi way, Iskat's journey from Jedi to Inquisitor for the Empire makes for a tragic but fascinating tale. I only have one fault with the book,

RamsFan1963 the narrator does a lousy version of Darth Vader. It had bass but never the dark menacing tone James Earl Jones gave the character. Other than that, the narration was great. 2mo
Andrew65 Well done 👏👏👏
I really need to read more of these.

TheBookgeekFrau I'm with you on enjoying the bad guy stories more. 2mo
RamsFan1963 @TheBookgeekFrau If so, then I think you'll really enjoy this one. 2mo
DieAReader 🥳🥳🥳 2mo
TheBookgeekFrau @RamsFan1963 Already stacked! 😁 2mo
TieDyeDude Agreed about villain books, probably because, aside from Palpatine, they are rarely truly evil. I'm looking forward to reading this. The Phasma novel was really good, too. 2mo

The headline made me sit down when I read it, that and the picture next to it and the article that spilled out over two columns underneath.

What the heck is this?!?! "hard-edged crime fiction for adults" starring Marvel characters?!?! I've read plenty of books with Marvel characters, but I can't imagine something dark and noir, like Raymond Chandler, with Spider-Man or Captain America in it. Maybe a spy thriller with Nick Fury, but even that goes out the window if you add superheroes. That doesn't mean I won't give them a try when they come out, I'll just keep my expectations low.

psalva This is interesting. I haven‘t read Marvel in a while but I‘m imagining something with a tone like Marvel 1602 but modern? It‘s kind of an intriguing concept to me. Definitely more like a DC move in my head. 2mo
RamsFan1963 @psalva Yes I could see DC doing a series of book, like their Elseworld series of comics. DC has more non-powered heroes like The Sandman (not Morpheus) that would fit into that genre. 2mo

I'm looking forward to a nice month long readathon. My goals are simple:
Read more than 15 books (15 is my current record of books read in a month).
Read more than 75 hours (also my current monthly record).

Good luck to everyone joining in.
