Welcome to Litsy!

Cytonic has been on my shelf for several years and I finally read it! I think this is the only Brandon Sanderson book that I didn‘t absolutely love. I liked it, don‘t get me wrong, but it just didn‘t hook me like the other books did. I think the departure from the characters I love took me out of the story. But they did make an appearance toward the end of the book, so it gives me hope for Defiant. I‘m interested to see how this series wraps up.

After a cataclysmic meteor strike, it‘s a race to get humanity to the moon & beyond, if there‘s going to be any hope for survival. Elma just wants, more than anything, to move from the theoretical math to the stars herself.

I liked this a lot! Strong historical setting, wonderful cast of characters (that I definitely wanted more of), excellent pacing. The ending felt a bit abrupt & a bit unsatisfying, but overall a great listen! 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑

A break in the storms -> I collected ramps on a little hike -> dying of boredom waiting for the pine nuts to toast up for the pesto 😝
Guess I'll read my book and try not to get too distracted so the nuts don't burn...

1. My favorite was probably Lords of Uncreation--I really love Adrian Tchaikovsky's writing!

2. Tough question! Maybe The Measure by Nikki Erlick. It's for book club and has an intriguing premise, so should make for a fun discussion.

Thanks for the tag @TheSpineView !

I hope everyone enjoyed the April selection for #LitsySciFiBookClub Discussion is now open. I have a few questions to get us started. However, feel free to talk about anything. Even though the setting was 75+ years ago, a lot of issues are still relevant today.

Please let me know if you wish to be added or removed from the tag list.

This is my second book finished for the #AwesomeApril readathon hosted by @Andrew65

I reread this book for #LitsySciFiBookClub and loved it just as much this time around. The MC, Elma York, has this charisma about her that draws you in. She fought many uphill battles to reach her dream of becoming an astronaut and did it with a dignity we rarely see today. 5⭐️

I recommend this book to anybody interested in Astro-biology

Second stop for #IndependentBookstoreDay was @eastcitybookshop also near Eastern Market.

East City is also celebrating their 8th anniversary 🎉

Now back to the metro to head to the northwest part of the city to visit Loyalty Books.

Just one of three books I found in Bulgaria. I will post some of the Bulgarian books I recognized as well

#LitsySciFiBookClub #ReadAway2024 #SeriesLove2024 This was a wonderful book! I‘m so glad I decided to start reading more science fiction again. I participated in buddy reads this month where the selection was by this author. I bailed on a dull fantasy and I couldn‘t stop listening to this one. This deserves a constellation of stars. ✨✨✨✨✨
