Welcome to Litsy!

Bk2 of May & Bk3 of #20in4 #readathon is, finally, done. The past 24hrs has been crap, a bad reaction to the flu shot has left me with vertigo & fatigue, which has never happened before & I have it every year! I tried every book in this stack and just couldn‘t stick it, so ended up with a reread of another McCaffrey, this one is really a few short stories cobbled together to make a book about the Brain&Brawn ships. #PennyPerPage #ReadItAgainSam

Finally got around to reading it. I love books by Anne McCaffrey, so I was sure it would be great. It didn‘t disappoint, although I was rather sad that all the rest of the ship books I checked out seem to feature different characters. I would have enjoyed a continuation of the story. It left off at the best part, she finally had her permanent partner and they were going off on their first mission, then the end.

⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4)

I enjoyed this novella, though it took me a while to read it. It's an extremely intriguing concept and compelling narrative. Society has certainly evolved since 1969, and some of the story's social constructs have not held up well. It felt dated in parts. I liked the references to Shakespeare, and I think the themes blended well with Helva's story. Liked it, but not yet in love with McCaffrey.

Trying to finish this book, but the furry paws of fate are working against me. Also, been battling headaches the last couple of days. ☹ #dogsoflitsy #MtTBR, #TBR

Well, that's an awkward contraction. 😜

Suuuper excited about my #bookhaul today! 😍😍

But it's probably a good thing for my tbr that I don't know of any other used booksales in the area for a while...

Late-stage 8 for sure. 😅

#backtoreading #girlsinscience Struggled a bit with this one as I don't have many science based books, fiction or non-fiction! I settled for the writer who introduced me to the Sci-fi genre, Anne McCaffrey. This book is my favourite. It's about the brain of a human (Helva) being used as a ships computer. It gives them a personality of their own. I love Helva ❤. Also had to put in a nod to Professor River Song, and my lego research institute set!

The back summary is too good not to share! 😂👏🏻

FREE BOOKS! I got these books for free from work today 😍 #daymade
