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 😊

No golden bookmark but still, a new book! 😬

I scanned 3 shelves today and my physical TBR list on Goodreads jumped to over a 100! That does not include the books I already read and I have a few more shelves to go. I shouldn't buy any physical books until I finish some 😅

Audible has another 2 for 1 sale and also grabbed my March Originals 😊

Great opening which immediately pulled me in, but the ending dragged a bit. I hope the next book focusses a bit more on the mystery and less on the 'will they, won't they' romance.

As with every short story collection, some stories stood out while others were so-so. I took a long break between the 1st & 2nd half and during that time I found that certain scenes often popped back into my mind. Under My Roof is my favorite & if it ever becomes a novel, I'll definitely pick it up. Mamatas has made it onto my radar & I look forward to reading more of his. Thx to Tachyon & #NetGalley for the ARC #ThePeoplesRepublicOfEverything

Book haul from another great bookish Tokyo adventure with @tokyoseg !

I heard good things about this book so couldn't pass up this deal!

Though a bit predictable, this was a great conclusion to the series. I hope these characters will appear again some day.

Another fast paced mystery. I like the main characters, but the writers & publishers in this book are all pretty aweful. Book 3 is on my shelf so I might just jump straight in.

The characters really grew on me and this 4th book was the best so far. I jumped straight into the final (audio)book.

I quite enjoyed this! Good pacing and I liked the characters. Immediately started the second book.

Finished this last week. I enjoyed reading this story about love & memories but the ending was a bit disappointing.

Very repetitive and not much happening. I read until the end because I wanted to know what was in the Yellow Submarine.

Enjoyed Exit Strategy a lot more than the previous installment. Now to wait until May...

I didn't like this one as much as the previous two Murderbot books. For only Rogue Protocol I'd give this 2 stars, but I immediately continued with Exit Strategy and together the story is a lot more solid.

I loved the experience and appreciate the effort that went into this book! For that I'd recommend it and would give it 4 stars, but the story itself didn't do it for me.

First book of 2020, though I started in December. A fast paced read but predictable. I felt like I read this story several times already.

I won't finish my current book (tagged) before midnight, so these are my stats for 2019! 7 books less than last year but I'm still happy with this number.
Happy New Year everyone! May 2020 be filled with books 😬📚📚

Finished The Witcher TV show earlier this week and enjoyed it a lot! I got two of the books already (unread) and grabbed this one in the audible sale. I should move them up on my TBR list 😅

4 stars for the Brakebill part, but only 2 for Fillory. I listened to the audiobook and I found the part set in Fillory so boring my mind kept wondering.

I enjoyed the first part but the ending was 'messy‘ and I was glad when I finally finished it. Got a bit of a reading slump since and only read a few pages of the new book I started 😔

As someone who has strange but realistic dreams, this book was fascinating and terrifying at the same time.

Loved it! I enjoyed the first book but thought the storyline could have been better. This one was great and I hope the third book continues in the same line.
