Welcome to Litsy!

This afternoon I went to the Maryland All State Community Band concert. It was a wonderful performance by a group of dedicated adult amateur musicians. They played a total of five pieces with an interesting range of styles and moods. I wrote about for the #haikuhive and #haikuaday

Lush harmonies and
Some dissonance, but not of
The cognitive sort

My favorite was this piece by Johan de Meij. ⬇️

Lyle is the chief scientist at a cosmetics company searching for a great anti-aging lotion. He ends up with something a bit different, discovering in tests that it has a major impact on the user‘s DNA. This is a faintly ludicrous book (but doesn‘t claim to be anything else), but it‘s really entertaining with some good social commentary. I give it a soft pick.

I have only two #pink books, and as I've already featured one of them, Extreme Makeover is my choice for today.

What I know of genetics from several years of biology class is that this book is plausible, which makes it extremely creepy. What if you could just slap on a cream and become a supermodel free of any genetic medical issues? We go as far as plastic surgery, what‘s a little fiddling around with DNA?

These are fun. Tag me in all the things.

Science Fiction isn‘t one of my normal read genres, but the cover and book description caught my eye. This is a satirical look at the beauty industry and the lengths people will go to for their looks. Lyle Fontanelle accidentally creates a cloning hand lotion that has some people excited for extreme plastic surgery, others for the medical benefits, and some for political power and manipulation. The ending was a bit weak, but riveting throughout!

I had to go into the library today to renew my library card, and of course, I couldn‘t leave empty-handed!

I picked up a sci-fi novel about a cosmetic company‘s product creating clones, and Frederick Backman‘s novella!

Okay so I don't usually post selfies on here, but I just recently went through a pretty dramatic change with my hair and I kind of wanted to show it off. I went from blond💛 to blue💙 black🖤. I absolutely love it! But it's a big change. 😳
What do you guys think?

So Littens, I made a really big change yesterday, and I cut all my hair off ???
I have ALWAYS had long "mermaid" hair as people like to call it, but this new style is growing on me ?

⭐⭐⭐✨
This book started out with so much potential. The concept of a beauty company creating a lotion that overwrites your DNA sounds like the set up for a horrifically, thrilling novel. However, this book could use some major editing...about 100 pages worth. 2/3's of the way through, I was just over it. No reason to keep dragging the story out and out and out. This took WAY too long to read.

Never a bad thing to have piles of books around the house.

This has been a fast, entertaining read so far! Thanks to The Nocturnal Reader's Box for sending it to me 🙂
