The votes are in and the June selection for #LitsySciFiBookClub #LSFBC is The Stardust Grail by Yume Kitasei. The US price on Amzon is $14.99. My library doesn't have a digital or audio copy. I hope they have the physical book. I haven't checked other sites for the book. Hopefully, it will be less other places.

This fresh take on a classic character was everything I hoped it would be!
The story follows our protagonist as she faces exile, through a story of continuous challenges that lead her to claiming her own power and creating her own place in the world.
If you're looking for a beautiful, captivating new take on Greek mythology, look no further!
I really enjoyed this book. It‘s a fun story about the hubris of science and risks of its marriage with capitalism.
"The horror of war resides in this gnawing anxiety. It resides in the continuation, the incessant repetition of danger. War is permanent threat. 'We know not the place or the hour.' But we know the place exists and the hour will come. It is insane to hope that we will always escape."
1. Let‘s see… 2 houses full and a storage cage. I think there may even be some boxes at my parent‘s storage container. More than I‘ll read before I kark it. 2. The tagged book kept me up at night especially as I have been stalked myself. I listened to it in the recent school holidays while cleaning the house or out for a walk. It made washing up way more entertaining. I plan on reading her next book as soon as I can get my hands on it.

1. I wish it were a library. I have books EVERYWHERE. No idea how many, perhaps a few hundred. I'm in the process of getting new bookshelves and reorganizing, but it's taking forever because I'm lazy. 🤷♀️
2. HEARTSTONE by C.J. Sansom: my favorite historical-detective-fictional author. 🤩
This has not been the typical murder mystery a la Poirot or Marple like I expected. I liked having two narrators with two points of view - the one of Eustace Pedler definitely being the funnier one. And it was nice seeing Anne taking her life in her hands. And of course I didn‘t see the plot twist coming. 🤣
No one cheerfully refuses pie! Yesterday was Blueberry Pie Day, but I made a mixed fruit crumb top instead.
A break from all my backgrounds of spring flowers. My first Lief Enger; this is for the Tournament of Favorites. I volunteered to be an alternate judge.
