Welcome to Litsy!

So...this happened while I was reading. 😂 Persephone has only recently started to lay in my lap while I read in my office/reading space. I think she's getting more comfortable. 😻🤣😻 (I adopted her in late August). #CatsofLitsy

Also, I finished the book! If it hadn't been for a reading challenge prompt, I probably never would have read it. Good book, but not what I typically enjoy.

Rogue cyborg soldier known as sample B #3 is able to morph once it eats the cells of anything and it eats the buried body of a child murdered by her mother who had become the spirit of AI-controlled house. Then it starts to get weird. 😀

Unfortunately it goes all over the place with no real plotline, which would have been fun possibly in a shorter book.

My ambitious #maytbr. Just need to restrain myself at the library so I can read some of the books I already own. I did choose quite a few skinny ones 😁.

Japanese #scifi about a military a.i. that takes the form of a six year old girl named Jonah. We follow Jonah over centuries, to a distant planet called Caritas, inhabited by outcasts and run by an a.i. which has gone mad. Ambitious (characters are constantly grappling with the texistence of a god-like creator) and humane - Ohara has a singular vision of the future which both mesmerizes and terrifies. #womenintranslation #readwomen #japanese

A truly amazing book, but one that demands your full attention. A beautifully complex story that examines themes around technology and humanity.

Whew! Ok I canNOT sum up this book in 451 characters, and I don‘t want to yay or nay it b/c it‘s not that simple. Here‘s why it drew me: Japanese author, AI, and feminism. I wasn‘t expecting a cozy read, but it‘s way more violent than what I typically read. And it doesn‘t follow a linear plot. It‘s extremely trippy. However I really like the childlike heart of the MC, the Hybrid Child known as Jonah. Potential triggers in comment below.

Sooo excited to get this in the mail today! It was on back order from a June 15 release date. But I‘m going to make myself wait until next week, when I will have a super long weekend to devour it. Thanks @MirrorMask for tipping me off on this enticing find!
