If the goal of this trilogy was to make me feel just as uncomfortable as the resisters, it succeeded. Though none of the scenes were graphic, I couldn't help but imagine tentacle sex.
A strange but fascinating story that made me curious about Butler's other work.

I am curious how the Oankali originally started and which other species they traded with to reach their current form.

Though I enjoyed this book, I felt like it had an abrupt ending. Perhaps I spaced out listening to the audiobook...

Humble Bundle but up a sci-fi book bundle! Not sure about the other books, but I loved Murderbot so decided to grab this for the Martha Wells books 😀
#humblebundle #bookbundle

Thunderhead is a solid story and I definitely want to know what happens after this cliffhanger, but it did not draw me in as much as the first book.

Visited the used book shop after work 😁
I also got the tagged one and The Priory of the Orange Tree as ebooks.

The great world building of the previous book continues in Head On. I liked the characters interaction and if there are going to be more books in this world, I'll definitely give them a shot.

I loved the world building and the philosophical thoughts in the diary pieces. The second half of the story was predictable but I still enjoyed it. After finishing I immediately downloaded the 2nd audiobook.

I never saw the movie and it's the second Levin book I finished (The Stepford Wives last year), but I can see why it is considered a classic. Good pacing and suspenseful.

Grabbed these books during the Audible 2-for-1 sale 😁

I enjoyed the pacing & overall flow more than the Southern Reach trilogy. I kept imagining Borne as a post-apocalyptic wasteland wandering Barbapapa 😅

A short but powerful story. I listened to the audiobook and had to wipe away a few tears at the end 😥

Overall a fast paced read, but it felt like Nesbo crammed too many story lines into one book.

A nice fairytale but not Gaiman's best work.

Woohoo! Audible Originals May selection is here! Which ones did you pick? #audible #bookhaul

Not sure how I feel about this one. I liked the setting and all the clockwork, but I didn't 'click' with any of the characters. Most of Thaniel's chapters were jumpy and scattered.

Woohoo! This happened last night. Thank you all. I am happy to have found Litsy! I don't comment as much as I would like, but I love seeing everyone's bookish photos and discovering new books ❤️

The time jump (the characters being older) took a few chapters to get used to. Also, too much politics for my taste but it was (probably) a good build up for the next installment. As I am reading these almost back to back, I start to notice some repetitive sentences across the books.

Book haul from the last few days. Got a used paperback of the tagged book. I haven't read the previous two books yet. #bookhaul #audiblesale

-EDIT-

After reviewing the preview excerpt, Macmillan-Tor/Forge granted me a full review copy through NetGalley.

The third and final story did not disappoint! I would have liked it if the part about -spoiler- was explained in more detail, but overall this was a great conclusion to Legion. #netgalley #legion

-Original excerpt review posted in Augustus 2018-

I did not love this as much as the previous book and I felt that there were a few too many character point of views. I do look forward to continue the series.

Great humorous writing that had me grin and laugh out loud while listening to the audiobook. The story line was a bit lacking & predictable but overall an entertaining adventure. 3.5 stars

It took me a few chapters to get into it and to like the characters. The story was good, but I think I was expecting more after seeing so many people love it.

Bought myself a present 🤩

This is my favorite in the series so far! A thrilling ride from start to finish. It was great to have some characters make an appearance again.

This coming-of-age story reminded me of the books I used to love as a teenager. It was cute, but the ending was a bit predictable. 3.5ish stars

For some reason I adore stories about ships. Some might consider this book longer than what it needed to be but I loved every minute of the audiobook. This is my new favorite Dan Simmons book!

It's hay fever season in Japan and I have been feeling tired and not up to anything. I actually finished this book two weeks ago but couldn't be bothered posting about it until now.
The fourth book did not disappoint! I look forward to jumping into the next adventure.

Another 2-for-1 sale? Don't mind if I do!
#audiblesale

I got this book because the cover & summary reminded me of the Bartimaeus trilogy. Though not as good and funny as those books, it was entertaining for a kids story.

Loved it just as much as the previous books, though I missed some of the characters. I am caught up with the TV show now so the next book will be totally new!

BookDepository is celebrating their 20million milestone with a wishlist competition. You could win 5 books and all you have to do is add them to your wishlist. Thought I'd share, though I should avoid getting more competition 😝

Robin Hobb
John Scalzi
Stephen King
Brandon Sanderson
Dan Simmons / China Mieville

I went with authors that are pretty much auto-buy for me. Need to read more by the last two to be able to choose between them 😅
@britt_brooke

I like full cast audio productions. This one was short but entertaining.

The start and ending were interesting, but I zoned out during the middle part. Not sure uf I'll pick up the next two books.

Not a happy story, but it was a nice break before jumping back into The Expanse.

I didn't know much about this book before starting it. The murder mystery was interesting, but I had to get used of the style (author writing a fictionalized version of himself) and it felt a bit clunky to me.

I enjoyed this just as much as the first book. ❤️ Avasarala !

Audible put a lot of daily deals back on sale. I grabbed thes two 🐿️
#audible #audiblesale

I have mixed feelings about this book. I like Auri and it was interesting to learn more about her world/the Underthing, but it was a bit repetitive and the story dragged in some places. Shout out to the lovely art of Nate Taylor.

Because I had nothing to read 🤫
#kindledeal

Since I watched the show, I already knew the plot but this book was still a page turner! I look forward to diving into the next book.

I liked The Girl Who Takes An Eye For An Eye better than the previous book. This felt more like a continuation of the original trilogy.

Easy picks for me!

Jetlag woke me up at 4AM so I decided to make this! I followed a lot of new Littens recently and hope to get to know you a little with these questions 😉

1. the Netherlands, but living in Tokyo.
2. John Scalzi last year.
3. Around a hundred books on shelfs and 50ish ebooks & audio.
4. Train, I quickly get distracted at home.
5. I recommend the tagged one for sci-fi lovers!
#littenintro

The first book I finished in 2019. Loved the world building and the drawings, but the story was so-so.

Book haul from my trip to the Netherlands & UK.
#bookhaul #shelfie

Happy New Year everyone! I completed 72 books in 2018 and the tagged one was my favorite.
Hopefully 2019 will be another year filled with reading!

Went to London for a family trip and managed to buy only two books. Found the Black Gull which I remembered from a trip ten years ago and bought the tagged book there.
#blackgull #londonbooks

This third book dragged a bit. I still enjoyed the setting, but the story was weak.

Picked up these two during the Audible 2 for 1 sale 😊
