Welcome to Litsy!

Made it to page 39 and had to stop. Boring, not my type of genre I like.

Enjoy!

This odd little book didn't entirely gel for me, but it had so many wonderful pieces that I'll call it a pick. There's a very strong sense of place, turns of phrase that made me it feel like the author was inside my brain, and some wonderful joyfulness.

She leads him through the moves whose Spanish terms translate roughly into misogynistic commands: Give me the girl! Tell her no! Ben immediately takes to the simple “Coca Cola,“ where he releases Rue for a beat before winding her back. “Date her cousin!“ the instructor barks as they flop across the floor. “Plug her in!“

Ah, city memories.

A beautifully written small book about one day in one flight in space and the six astronauts who inhabit this space ship. In 24 hours, there will be 16 sunrises, 16 sunsets, a typhoon, a death. We read about their dreams, their lives on earth, their thoughts at seeing all the beauty of life from outer space. A very special book.

Loved this!!

I gave Black Woods Blue Sky 4 stars. The vivid descriptions of Alaska made me want to visit even more. I struggled with Birdie—her selfishness and poor mothering made her hard to like, though I see how those traits served the story. Arthur and the bear, on the other hand, were magnificent. The novel left me wondering if the mysteries and magic it portrays could truly exist in real life.

Working feverishly through their final college years Sam, Sadie and Marx create an instantly successful video game. Zevin‘s novel winds through time to tell their story of creativity, business and relationships. She also looks back to Sam‘s trauma and how it influences his work and the trio‘s friendship. The story is slow-paced, but still a satisfying 4 ⭐️ read.

Unfortunately, my #OwnedEdition of #14Books14Weeks did not see completion either. But I tried and did get a few books (5/14) off my TBR so still a win, right?

Been a while since I‘ve devoured a book like this - read it in one day (yay for bank holidays!) absolutely LOVED it. Really enjoyed all the video chat and the story totally sucked me in. I have a book hangover now 😆 also got me a line in #bookspinbingo
