Welcome to Litsy!

#JumpStart2021 #2020ReadYouNeverGotTo #GenreBusting I missed yesterday‘s prompt coz I was out most of the day(birthday lunch with the MIL then movie & dinner with hubs)so it‘s a double whammy today. Bk5 of the Cormorant Strike series has been on my TBR for a few months, I will get to it this year🤞, Bk1 of the Space Unicorn series is a strange mashup of fantasy with SciFi. There‘s unicorns, fairies, dryads etc all gallivanting round the universe!

Because I'm slightly obsessed with Alexis Hall I follow him on GR. I was intrigued by his review of this one. Male alien (basically a giant insect) unintentionally kidnaps human girl, mistaking her for his otherworldly penpal/girlfriend. So begins a bonkers sci-fi/erotic romance/dystopian #GenreBusting romp. I'm not into sci-fi or dystopia, but it was a winner for me on the romance front. And, as Alexis says, the alien sex is A+😂

Interlocking stories of “urban Indians” living in Oakland. I found each individual story to be fascinating and even though I couldn‘t keep track of all of them as they linked up, it felt like a complete novel leading up to a climactic event and the tension built toward it over the novel. Told a different type of Native American story than others I have heard about/read. Seen this reviewed as #genrebusting so it‘s my pick for #booked2019.

This mix of women's lives and relationships with sci-fi didn't quite work for me. I was much more interested in the comedic portrayal of a Silicon Valley workaholic than the tech-gone-wrong storyline.

A shortish book that packs a lot in. It‘s true crime mixed with memoir but also so much more. Very well written. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #genrebusting #booked2019

I enjoyed this alternative history, speculative fiction, western short story. In fact, I think this will qualify as a #genrebusting choice for #Booked2019.

Once in American history there was a discussion of bringing hippos to the states as a cattle species in the marshes & bayous of the south. This story is set in a world where cowboys and gunfights occurred with hippos, such a fun imaginary trip based on an alternate historical possibility.

This was a really weird yet engrossing book. Part is historical accounts of Lincoln and the other is a historical fiction ghost story.
I don't think this could be more #genrebusting
