Reading some short stories while my boyfriend is playing games. Those are only a small part of my TBR piles 😅

5 years already! Though I haven't been actively posting the last 2 to 3 years, I have been lurking and love looking at all your bookish posts 🤩

I was in the mood for a cozy book. Becky Chambers is an instant buy author for me ☺️

Small #bookhaul

I loved the setting and world building. The story started of good but the last third was a drag and took me ages to get through.

Not even close to my goal this year. I hardly read at all the last 3 months. Setting the same goal for 2023, let's see!

This story was exactly what I expected based on the title, but I was hoping for more. Between a so-so and a pick.

I am a sucker for books with interesting designs, unusual layouts etc. My ten year old self would have loved this story.

Another great story in The Dispatcher universe! The first one was my introduction to Scalzi.

Loved the world building & writing, the story was alright but ending so-so. Overall still a pick

This was free in the Audible Plus catalog. I didn't know anything about the book or author when I started it, but it turned out to be a fast paced mystery/thriller. Not the best I read, but just what I was in the mood for!

An interesting setting but that's it. The story itself fell flat and I forgot most of it after finishing it.

I am not sure how I feel about this book. It wasn't bad but only just kept my interest enough to finish.

Small e-book haul.

Written in 1968, I think Clarke succeeded in creating a story that still holds up today. I should watch the movie someday.

Me time!

Updating my bullet journal while listening to the tagged book.
I started a bullet journal before but failed to keep track and didn't like how it turned out. Keeping it simple this time and just adding the books I read in the last 3 years.

As with most short story collections, it was a mixed bunch. There were a few I loved and some were quite haunting. However, this is a rare case where the movie is better than the title story.
Would recommend this if you enjoyed The Three-Body Problem.

A comforting and fluffy story, that is also deep and touching. Becky Chambers is becoming an instant-buy author for me.

Fast paced and entertaining. The original hunger games?

Meh. This short story didn't add anything to the series.

Though the story was entertaining, it didn't blow me away like Recursion did.

I have been lurking on Litsy and am trying to get back into posting.

I loved the premise and world building of this story, but some parts dragged. Too much politics.

I read several books by Okorafor and in my opinion this one has the best writing style so far. The ending was so-so, but overall a quick solid read.

This is the second Backman book I read and I have mixed feelings. Some parts really touched me an Backman is great at showing people's thoughts & emotions. But there is just something about the writing style that makes it less enjoyable. I felt the same a out A man called Ove.

This murder mystery with a ghost story and some world war II history mixed in was pretty good!

15,000! Thanks everyone! I am slowly getting back on Litsy, I love browsing everyone's posts. Just haven't felt like writing reviews myself.

I listened to the audio and was engrossed. Not the best dystopian novel ever, but it did make me feel uncomfortable.

I loved this! My favorite C.J Tudor book so far. I guessed a few of the 'twists', but it was still enjoyable.

Some might consider this book longer than it needed to be to tell it's story, but I loved every page.

Not as good as the first book. It dragged here and there and I found Wade annoying in the first few chapters.

Tissue box for scale. I'm jumping into this chunkster next. I read Pillars of the Earth years ago and loved it.

I liked the premise and enjoyed the first half, but towards the end it was dragging.

As a boardgamer, I am excited to learn more about this Red Rising #boardgame!

Except for the rape, already forgiven the next day, this is a great classic sci-fi. Love this awful cover 🤭

I enjoyed the story but didn't love it.

(Non)zombie survival story. It didn't add anything to the genre.

I found the character background parts more interesting than the main story but overall a great read.

I enjoy a good mystery but this felt a bit messy. My least favorite of the Harry Hole books I read so far.

3 years already! Though I have been absent for most covid-2020.

It took me sometime to get into this, but when it finally grabbed me I couldn't put it down! Same great world building as the previous Grishaverse books, but I enjoyed this more as it wasn't as predictable.

I read a lot these past few months but haven't felt like writing any reviews. The tagged book was the last one I started in 2020 and finished on the 1st. Aiming for at least 52 books again in 2021!

The new Audible Plus offer made me add a bunch of books to my library, this is just a small selection.
Now to actually listen to these.... 😅

Though I guessed the plot twist, it was an entertaining read.

These darkish fairy tale retellings are a nice introduction to the Witcher world.

First review of this book on Litsy 😄
A sci-fi mystery that reminded me of Crouch's Dark Matter, which I read first though it was published later. The first half was filled with science and the most interesting. I'll pick up the second book some day.

This short story was okay, not great. It felt like a chapter of the second book that just didn't make the cut.

The last book in the series. The last quarter didn't keep my attention, that's why it's a so-so instead of a pick.

I have been absent from Litsy for a while, as I needed a break from social media. I have read a bunch of books during that time but not too many great ones. Did love the tagged one which I finished today ♥️

I didn't know which books on my shelves to read and my boyfriend picked this one. I loved it! Some of the science part went a bit over my head but the story is solid. Some of the conversation s felt a bit awkward, but I think that might be a cultural/translation thing. Bought the second book 😊
