Welcome to Litsy!

This is an unusual attempt to let our own Milky Way tell its own story in its own words. Some of the humor falls flat, but there is lots of interesting information. There also spots where it gets very sciency (not a bad thing) which bogs down the narrative. There are good notes, too. Overall, entertaining. ⭐️⭐️⭐️

I struggled a bit to finish this book. McTier‘s trope of writing from the perspective of the galaxy became tiresome. I preferred when she veered toward folklore and myths. Overall, it was okay and would likely appeal to younger readers.

4☆ This one intrigued me right away, such an interesting concept for a book. Blending history, science, and folklore McTier has written a fun, witty, sarcastic romp of a autobiography about The Milky Way. I am no astronomy expert but I enjoyed this humorous take on our galaxy. From the first few pages you get the sense this is meant to be a fun, sassy, charming, enlightening tell all. #bookreview #bookstagram

Creative idea and it‘s clear McTier knows and understands astrophysics and mythology. For me, the tone of this book: cheeky, condescending, YA, sciencey, try hard, etc just never settled. I would go from loving a page to disliking the next and back again. Interesting, but inconsistent.

#WishesAndBlessings Day 20: Nothing beats reading by the #Fireplace - even though it is not seen in this glorious photo.

#WishesAndBlessings Day 6: #Greetings from the far side of the galaxy. Overdrive find. Review is forthcoming.

It was a very wonderful book. It shows you how the universe is and what is its value. It is a very nice book to read by beginners. Thank you #pearson and authors to publish it.
