Welcome to Litsy!

The tagged book is the one that got cut off in my picture, but here is my December #Bookspinbingo shelf. @TheAromaofBooks

How to Live Safely in a Science Fiction Universe
I made it to page 70, which is about 1/3 of the book. An interesting premise that failed in execution. My full review is on GR.

4 books done for #bookspin BINGO, but still a few more to get a bingo.

“Who is that, in the mirror? That‘s me, in the past, a moment ago, when the light bounced off me.”

Now that‘s a thought that‘s gonna fester.

Hey folks! I‘m looking for an interesting time travel book (any format or genre) that will walk me through some of the paradoxes or at least present a number of them in an interesting way. Here‘a a fun picture of anticrepuscular rays to get your attention... (I don‘t have a timey wimey picture on my phone.)

Wow, what a trip! Yu's time travel book was intense & fun. The world Yu lives in has figured out time travel, partly due to Yu's father. However, after years of failure, once Yu's dad successfully creates a time traveling device, he vanishes and is never to be seen again. The story revolves around Yu's search for his missing father, the fallout from his father's disappearance and the relationship of a son to his parents and to life. Great read!

Wibbly wobbly timey wimey-er than an episode of Doctor Who! I'm not 100% sure I followed everything, but I definitely enjoyed the ride. I listened to this on audio, but I think it might have been better in paper so I could flip back and re-read parts more easily. Still a pick for me, but I can see how some people would hate it. #LitsyAtoZ #LetterY #LitsyReadingChallenge #LRC16 #sameageauthor @jessica

This was a really fun read! I'm not going to pretend I could wrap my head around every bit of the time travel stuff, but it's still a great book. I wouldn't recommend it for someone who's new to the genre, though. It gets to be a bit of a mindfuck, for lack of a better word. "Out of all the oceans of oceans of you, there is exactly one who is perfectly you. And that's me. And I'm telling you: you are the only you. Does that make any sense?"

I'm really loving these excerpts so far. This whole book seems to have a perfect blend of humor and melancholy that's right up my alley. 👌

A great rainy day #BookNBreakfast: vegan banana walnut pancakes with veggie sausage, a big cup of earl grey, and a great book to round it all out. 😋

For some reason, this book never really sunk its claws into me - I'm not sure whether it's because I just happened to be in a reading lull or what, because in theory it was squarely in my favorite wheelhouse, but I never quite connected with the main character (who is kind of the only character, come to think of it). The book is well-written and cool, and I'm glad I finished it, but it's not making my top 20 list for the year.

Just couldn't get into the story but I did find the parts that clicked for me absolutely fascinating. I will definitely give it another go in the future. The story did remind me of some books I've enjoyed such as The Phantom Tollbooth, The Martian, and Arcadia.

This book has a lot of heavy sci-fi but manages to balance it with a likable loser whose memories are sharp and heartfelt. My favorites parts are in the midst of this sci-fi work, you'll find these charming little tributes to language, writing, books and analog tools. Tough for me in the beginning to get into but I'm enjoying it more after 90 pages in

I am seriously confused by this book but I'm finding it strangely appealing 😳 Litsy pals, does it get easier to understand soon? I only just finished the 1st chapter

My next read!

L o v i n g this so far. So fun and so so clever.

GUYS! @Litsy has added hashtags and a longer character limit just in time for #24in48 this weekend! So you can still tag me here or I'll be searching and cheering with the official hashtag #24in48 too.

We're just two days away from the #readathon and I'm super antsy for it to just get here already. We're at 785 readers so far. Can we break 800? 850? I think we can! I'm building my stack, including this funny sci fi adventure tale. Are you?

This was a weird one. It took about a hundred pages to ramp up but once it did I was totally on board. Time machine repair man deals with his daddy issues.

We are all time travellers.

This was so good, a really fun mix of humour and philosophy that asks some great questions about what it means to be human.

10 minutes in and loving it!
