Welcome to Litsy!

#MayMoms #MothersDay

Chani is a good mom to the twins. She and Paul try to prepare them for the Golden Path future.

Happy Mother‘s Day!

This book was batshit crazy… can‘t decide if I like it or if it was all a bit too much!

#FallTreasures Day 14: Pleasantly surprised to find out this was #PublishedYearYouWereBorn. Maybe I should start this series soon before the film adaptation is released in this lifetime?

It appears I forgot to review this one in the series. Most of it is great characters doing action packed things, with good plotting. However a central character gets the shaft (both in terms of writing and in terms of plot) leading some to probably not like it. I would read it, bearing that in mind however.

I don‘t blame everyone for how weird they think I am tbh 😅 Dune with a Hedwig bookmark. #nerd #harrypotter #dune #fantasy

Continuing with the Dune series, seeing how far I will get. This one definitely took a lot of brain power to try and wrap my head around everyone‘s schemes and lines of thought. Enjoyable but definitely confusing in parts, feel like I need to re-read a few more times to understand everything.

I am posting one book per day from my to-be-read collection. No description and providing no reason for wanting to read it, I just do. Some will be old, some will be new - don‘t judge me I have a lot of books.
Join the fun if you want. This is day 6

I‘ve found my way into the third installment of the #Dune #SciFi series. I am excited to see what happens now that Paul is off the board. We shall see 😊😊😊 #litsy

Number four on my #Bookspinbonanza list

Again a great book! I enjoyed the two other books in the original trilogy as well and this one is just as good. Or maybe even better. Those books are not easy to read, they need their time, but I think they're absolutely worth it ❤

There's a beautifully constructed chapter, beginning with Leto Atreides' seemingly innocuous comment to Stilgar, "Have you noticed how beautiful the young women are this year?", which sets the old man's thoughts running on culture, tradition and government. It's a passage that draws on all that's happened in the trilogy so far, and sets the scene for the rest of the book. I'd not really noticed it before, and is why I re-read my favourite books ?

After a little poetry palate cleanser, I'm back for the final book in the classic Dune trilogy 😊

My hubby & I recently started rewatching TNG but have only watched 5 episodes so far. I remember so little of the older episodes that it‘s almost like watching them for the first time! Anyway, since we haven‘t made it to season 2 yet & I can‘t remember much of the episode, here are a few books from my shelves with Child/Children titles. I‘ve read all except The Darkling Child & I‘ve read the tagged book multiple times. #TheChild #StarTrekSummerMay

I've read the Dune trilogy a dozen times in my collected edition. Because I had that volume, I didn't buy the separate books when they were first published by NEL with the gorgeous Bruce Pennington covers. Big error of judgement! It's taken me years to get copies in a good enough condition, but I finally found a nice copy of CoD yesterday, and I'm happy - Herbert and Pennington go together like tea and toast (with marmite) 😊

"If you focus your awareness only upon your own rightness, then you invite the forces of opposition to overwhelm you.”

The best of both worlds. The politics and mind games from the second book are back and it starts with similar slow pacing. But as the book turns to the 4th quarter, it picks up with better pacing than the 1st book. Leto the second is more daring and complex of a character. The dynamic between him and his sister fell short to me. But other than that the development that alot of the characters went through was amazing to see. 9/10 a must read.

The universe neither threatens nor promises. It holds things beyond our sway: the fall of a #meteor...growing old and dying. These are the realities of this universe and they must be faced regardless of how you feel about them. You cannot fend off such realities with words. They will come at you in their own wordless way and...then you will understand what is meant by 'life and death.' Understanding this, you will be filled with joy." #QuotsyAug18

“He was aware now of many things—of statecraft and profound consequences in the smallest decisions. Yet he felt this knowledge and subtlety as a thin veneer covering an iron core of simpler, more deterministic awareness. And that older core called out to him, pleaded with him for a return to cleaner values.” #consequence #QuotsyMarch18

It's #Friday! I'm enjoying some much needed couch time with my penguin pal Gavin, a book, and a cup of tea before we go out for supper. Later, hubby & I will continue our X-Files binge. We're almost at the end of season 5 😊HappinessIsResistance

Morning coffee and book 😊 Happy October 1st Sunday 🍁🍁🍁🍂🍁

Happy Saturday reading with my favorite Outlander coffee mug❤️

On to book three for my Labor Day weekend😊

While Dune may be the best in the series, Children of Dune is my personal favorite thus far. Continuing the trend of presenting insightful and relevant observations about man's nature, this book makes some crazy points about religion. Also, without spoiling anything, the ending of this book changes everything about this series. 9.3/10 stars.
