Welcome to Litsy!

#WinterGames2021 #HolidayLaughs #TeamGameSleighers here is your weekly reminder to post or tell me your current up to date points total - what you are at so far in the event. I will post our team total on Wednesday🎄😊 you can comment here, make a post, or email me at lebretonr87@gmail.com

this sequel is a significant step up from the 1st book. I think it helps that the book doesn't have to stop and explain the technical stuff and can focus on the plot. stakes are way higher by the end of this book and Grant is excellent at ratcheting up the tension as new story events start popping up in rapid succession. I'm glad I can jump straight into the last book with this trilogy collection.

Holy. Cow. Definitely faster paced than the first book. That ending is 😱. On to book three with all enthusiasm! I‘m glad I decided to continue this series, so far anyway.

Do you have a favorite booktuber or book podcaster that you'd like to shout-out? A friend who always adds to your TBR? A book store you can't refuse? I'm looking for people who can record audio blurbs no longer than 2 minutes for my 200th episode about where they get book recs. Thanks for considering. http://readingenvy.blogspot.com/2020/06/ill-have-what-youre-reading.html

Holy shit y‘all, this book was so good. Mira Grant somehow always manages to surprise me with her endings (which is quite a feat trust me) and still have them Be Good and Make Sense.

4/5⭐ I mean, I can't complain about more action and horror and humor all rolled together perfectly. It was interesting to follow a main character who is (understandably) less than stable. The twist at the end wasn't entirely unpredictable, but I still picked up the next book immediately upon finishing this one because I MUST know how it all ends.

The pace is fast, furious and exciting. The world and character building is extraordinary. A plot that only thickens-I could not put this down. I had to keep reading because I want to know the answers. I want to find out the truth. I want to know how it all began. all in for Newflesh!

This is amazing. I can't get enough. There are short novellas between books, with more info and alternative endings that I hope to find. I'm all in for Newsflesh!

Stayed up reading this one late last night. I‘m finally back into the story. The first one in the series, Feed, had me on book hangover for the last quarter of 2018! Still have a ways to go but the characters are still awesome!

I didn‘t think it was possible, but this may have been more action packed than the first!
And the ending! What a cliffhanger. Can‘t wait to dive into the next one 🧠🧠🧠

October TBR

As usual I have chosen one book to get straight into and then I'll decide later on what else I want to read this month. Deadline is the second book in the Newsflesh series, I read the first book last year and I really enjoyed it even though it made me have lots of zombie dreams 😂

I did not make it to 12 hours but had fun anyway. I think my official time should be 10 hours 15 minutes. My husband woke me up at 10:30 last night after I fell asleep reading. I had intended on reading till I reached the 12 hour mark but my body had other plans. 😋 Great fun!

I couldn‘t put it down.

I think my wife made the smart decision reading this on vacation -- I could stayed up all night with it. Saving 100 pages to help me get up and do work in the morning! (Yay, bribery!)

'Our story opens where countless stories have ended in the last twenty-seven years: with an idiot --- in this case, Rebecca Atherton, head of the After the End Times Irwins, winner of the Golden Steve-o Award for valor in the face of the undead --- deciding it would be a good idea to go out and poke a zombie with a stick to see what happens.'

Morning coffee with some zombies and the new kitten 😍

A bunch of zombie fights mixed with corruption and a super surprise ending. I was yelling at the end of this!
4⭐️‘s

Finished listening to this one on my ride home. A good creepy series if you like zombies with a touch of government conspiracy.

The second book in the Newsflesh series we find that we are only just uncovering what the truth really is and that it goes deeper then we could ever imagine.

A lot of people gave this book flack for having 'Second Book Syndrome' but as someone who has already read this series I can say the speed and character development of this book is perfect for the overall plot and is a necessary book to make this series as great as it is.

It's almost time for the #Readathon! Who else is participating on Saturday?

I'll be carving out some time to read DEADLINE by Mira Grant. I finally finished FEED this week, and I nearly tripped over myself to grab the second installment in her Newsflesh series. (Yes, even though it's an ebook. I am that clumsy.)

Finished this on my drive home today. Cue yelling and swearing for a good ten minutes. 😱😡🤔❤️
This one has definitely kept all the things I love from Feed, plus so much more. 🙌
At least I blended in with the rest of DC traffic. 💁

I'm giving this a "pick," even though it was a slow buildup. Not as good as FEED, but once we got to the heart of the book, I was invested. Love the conspiracy theory aspects of this zombie story and the way it fits into a familiar world setting. And the ending means I'll be listening to book 3 soon. Nicely done audios. Worth the listen.

Started this audio tonight. Loved FEED, but am keeping expectations down for this sophomore outing. I've heard there's a slump.

I like Shaun Mason a lot & listening to his internal dialogue as he goes completely off the rails is fascinating. Unfortunately, Deadline suffers from Middle Book Syndrome and drags out its few plot points to a ridiculous degree. The final reveal is truly spectacular, but isn‘t worth the long ride.
