Welcome to Litsy!

Whoa. This was so good!!! Disturbing at the end for sure, but such a great read. A dystopian, post-apocalyptic world terrorized by angels. I should not of put off reading this. It's been one of my kindle unlimited books that that I've marked to read for a long time and kept passing over. I don't recommend the audio version. I switched over to try it out, and immediately switched back to reading.
A quick one day fast-paced read! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

My current read - Klara and the Sun by Ishiguro. I‘m loving it. So far an AF (Artificial Friend) is waiting in the shop window, observing the humans in the outside world and hoping someone buys her to take home. It looks to be a story about what it is to be human, and how humans love and interact with each other. Taken from the unique perspective of a robot built to assist and be a companion for humans.

I loved how well written characters were: some are super despicable and some really likable.

This was pretty dark book, and that's the atmosphere I often love. But this also felt a bit confusing to read: there were questions you wanted answered - but not so many answers were given. I think things make more sense in the next book.

Fascinating premise, but the execution was clunky - dialogue heavy instead of actually showing events, which made it seem longer than it was. Still fascinating considering it was published in 1937. In this envisioned future world domination is split between Nazi Germany and Imperialist Japan. Women are treated as cattle, good only for bearing children. Homosexuality among men is the norm and Hitler is worshipped as 7 foot tall, blond Aryan god.

Trading freedom for peace & well-being. Echoes of Huxley & Zamyatin. Politely overprotective society organized to prevent anxiety, conflict & exclusion. Impulse=taboo, selfhood repressed. Breaking conformism. Beautiful graphic play with text as The Sensor picks up dangerous words & colorizes them in The Graph. Guitarist Agustín Barrios. “The tuning fork is in your heart.” 2017

P9 “Push it away, Mira A. This moment. This feeling. The frustration.”

Do yall read the novellas or short stories from a series as well? I do or at least the ones I can find. Though most are just not as good for some reason.

Reread this for the first time in ages the other day. I still enjoyed reading it. I got through it pretty fast too

It‘s a gorgeous day out! Letting The Wyrmling play in his water table while I attempt to get in a few pages of this new read. Forecast says it‘s supposed to drop back down to the 30-40 range in the next few days so we‘re enjoying it while we can. 😔

Watching the last episode of Fallout tonight and ordering my favorite pizza. It‘s going to be a great day! 🥰
