Welcome to Litsy!

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.

I found this (and the rest of the trilogy) at a used bookstore and couldn‘t resist. I first read these in late elementary school and loved them so I‘m diving back into them. Fingers crossed they hold up!

Unpopular opinion but I thought this novel about a sex robot with a growing sentience and free will and her nasty, cruel master never quite plumbed the issues it purports to raise, remaining superficial and/or dropping those issues entirely (Annie‘s whitewashed resemblance to Doug‘s ex-wife is one instance of this). Frankly, I was bored. Full review at http://booknaround.blogspot.com/2024/10/review-annie-bot-by-sierra-greer.html

Great collection of alien races for the west end games Star Wars rpg!

So much has happened in this series (and just in this book alone). I have 340 pages left and I genuinely cannot predict what will happen next or how it will end, but I've loved this series.

A well-written book, but a bit too close to home with so much gaslighting.

I am laughing more with this book than I did with The Doomsday Book, and I love the references to Three Men in a Boat. My daughter has finals, so we are in Birmingham. It‘s nowhere near as flat as where I live, so some places are more difficult to walk. #audiowalk

Get the hype. Wanted to read this before watching the hbo movies. I‘m glad I did because it was so good. The audiobook version was well produced. Different narrators for different characters so a little easier to follow. There were times it got to be a lot, but I imagine that will make it a more in depth movie.

My sister recommended this to me, and I really liked it. It‘s a translated dystopian story about a girl who grew up in an underground prison with 39 women. They have no idea why they are imprisoned. One day they hear sirens and the guards run off while the door is open, and they venture out into the world.

It‘s a short book but spans the MC‘s entire life. Strange and haunting.

Good but I didn't love it like the original trilogy. Which I now want to reread!
