Welcome to Litsy!

The first novella is a total banger and I enjoyed the entire book 😊 I am now ready to read The Shattering Peace when it pops at the library 🎉

Apparently, one benefit of joining the Kansas City Public Library is this “Lucky Day” feature. I am not one to read “popular” books very often (the ones churned out by authors whose names appear on book covers in bigger font than the title 🙄) but perusing through the offerings, I found a Martha Wells! Squeeeeeeeeeeee

An excellent installment in one of my two favourite sci-fi series (the other being The Expanse). Listening to Grover Gardner's audio narration made this reread even more enjoyable.

Today I started RADIANCE, which feels like a book with which I could become totally obsessed, and I carved my first foam pumpkin. The hot knife tool didn‘t get hot enough to produce the smooth edges it advertised, but the pumpkin‘ll look okay from a distance once I get a better light, and it‘ll never rot. Good times. #audiocrafting

I only know about this author because of Litsy. He‘s coming to Burlington so I‘ll be going. What book should I read of his?

A tender love story between a sentient alien plant named Stasia and a trans man named Graham. Also a cracking alien invasion story. Huge thanks to #netgalley for access to this audiobook. The solo narrator ably did this chunky page turner justice.

In September we checked in with Imri, Tep Tep and Churo the Hutt. I love them. What did y'all?
In October we conclude the High Republic with Trials of the Jedi. And I feel like I'm finally able to keep up with everyone.
As always if anyone wants to be added or removed just let me know. And May the Force Be With You Always 🚀

I find it pretty surprising that there hasn't been more Lando content, since he was the best part of Solo, and this proves that he has layers to be a solid lead character. Telling the story hinted at in ROS, Lando teams up with Luke to try to save Rey and her family (though they don't know the family's identity or significance). I'm really glad Wookiepedia exists, too, because I referenced it several times 😜

Listed as a trilogy but actually the 4th book I‘ve read in the “Revelation Space” universe. After thousands of pages and over 15 years reading these books, I can believe how bad this was compared to the previous ones. If I hadn‘t invested so much time in this series I would have bailed on this one. I think Reynolds‘ agent must have been negotiating his Q9M pound deal as he wrote this so he just phoned it in. A boring, padded anti-climax

My October TBR the tagged book is for bookclub. #blackcatcrew #hauntedshelf @PuddleJumper @BookwormAHN
