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.

5/5 ⭐

This is very much a middle book—the board was set (in the first book) & now it‘s time to split the group up &, ultimately, leave the heroes hanging by a thread…which is to say, Rollins uses a very familiar structure replete with all the tropes you would expect to find in an epic quest. Occasionally gripping, the story is also overly long with uneven pacing. Still, it‘s engaging enough I‘ll finish the trilogy.

1. I do—best room in the house! I have about 3,000 books give or take. Most can be found in the library although I have books in just about every room.

2. Tagged—second book in the Morrigan Crow series more than lived up to the potential of the first.

That was fun! Aelis still talks to herself too much and I keep losing track of the various types of magic etc etc, and the twist at a certain spot didn't surprise me much, but somehow... fun.

And finally, a #BookSpinBingo.

"The dedication of this book in split seven ways: to Jessica, to David, to Kenzie, to Di, to Anne, and to you, if you have stuck with Harry until the end."

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

A short children's book about the life and career of Bass Reeves, a man born into slavery who served a long time as a deputy marshal hunting down criminals in Indian Territory. It has all the adventurous hallmarks of Western fiction with an emphasis on Bass Reeves upstanding moral character.

I find myself interested in learning more about him.

Book review catch-up post 2 of 5:

This wasn't for me. As I said in one of our #kindredspiritsbuddyread discussions, it's a lot of wandering around in the woods occasionally interrupted by horrible violence. The "bad Indians" were bad because they were of a savage tribe, while the "good Indians" were held to a higher standard than the whites in both ethics and competency. The ending was a shocking disappointment.
