Welcome to Litsy!

I wanted to like it more than I did. The concept is so cool (certain people are born with the ability to draft, which is to redo the last minute or so of reality) but it just didn't pick up. Nothing they were doing felt terribly important considering the ability to CHANGE TIME was on the table. I'm on the fence about getting the sequel. Time will tell if I get the itch to find out what's going on in this world or not.

I finally finished it! I thought the world she built was actually pretty strong. There were definitely some trope-y and annoying parts though. I will probably eventually read the next one, just to find out what Peri decides to do. I did also like to see her grappling with essentially 2 different parts of herself toward the end. (I didn't read the prequel novella, and I'm glad I skipped it) @TheRomantiCate @BurghBookAddict @Wife

Well, I planned to read tomorrow anyway, so I'll just join in the #13in3 already in progress! @Samplergal

FINALLY making some progress with this book...and I don't hate it. I'm also not loving it. But I'm going to finish it, bc I do care about what is happening in the story. Sort of hopeful that I can finish it tonight, between work and class, and finally send it back! @TheRomantiCate @BurghBookAddict @Wife

@laurenashley finally getting in the mail! Says it should arrive Tuesday.. so sorry for the delay! #genreswapPBC

Finished by the skin of my teeth to get it in the mail tomorrow... @laurenashley I apologize for the lateness!!
I give this one 🌟🌟🌟 because it‘s a good book but it‘s not great. It has good action and an intriguing plot... however, the book IMHO is about 200 pages too long, and most of the characters are insufferable, including Peri Reed. I don‘t wanna give any spoilers, I just hope that those after me, enjoy it more than me 😻😻

Ok so this is the book I choose for #genreswapPBC and I‘m feeling a tad overwhelmed... see, confession time: I don‘t keep a book journal while I read so I‘m not sure what I need to be noting... I feel like I should be filling a notebook with my thoughts on every paragraph, but that feels exhausting... and it‘s affecting my reading because I‘m too focused on what I should be noting... any tips for this novice noted?? #genrebending

On my tbr. I‘ve read other books by her so I hope this one is good 😄

The Drafter, Peri Reed, alters timelines. She isn‘t the only one with this talent, but it is uncommon. She rewrites time by backing it up and altering it as it plays out again. Unable to hold multiple timelines in her head, the Drafter losses chunks of memory. Anchors partner with Drafters and can hold the multiple timelines. They rebuild the Drafters‘ memories. This assumes the Anchor and the organization they work for are ethical…

I'm too lazy to go look for my print copy of this book involving drafting, which is their name for a kind of #timetravel. I like just about anything Kim Harrison writes.

I don't know. Love the characters and the concept but the plot was very convoluted and drawn out.

@suomi Thanks so much for everything, I love it 😍 Now I don't want to go to work, I just want to sci-fi! #summersantagoespostal #summersolsticebookexchange

The memories of a drafter are aided by their partner, an anchor. But as the story progresses Peri discovers that some of those memories may be missing.

This started off really strong. The premise was unique. It's not time travel so much as time revision. The concept of drafters and anchors was good, as was the covert government operation they work for. But by about 3/4ths through, the plot was circular and felt repetitious. This was the first book in the series and based on how lukewarm I feel, I don't think I'll read any more.

It's been a minute since I read a Kim Harrison book. Excited to start this series.

The premise of this series is interesting and the action sequences are exciting, but I would like the world building to be clarified.

So I have just been binge reading this since I got up and it's just amazing!
Kim Harrison has amazing character building, there were twists to keep you guessing, and you can't help but root for Peri.
Can't wait for the next one in the series, but the Peri Reed/Hollows crossover Waylaid will help fill that gap for now 😍

I'm loving this book so much! I unfortunately can no longer keep my eyes open however and need to go to bed. It will definitely be the first thing I pick up in the morning though 💕

"Good Lord, when did Twitter get its own TV channel?"

Haha! After all the intrigue and action, this gem of a question appears. What would Twitter TV even entail?

Overall, I really liked this book. It pulled me in right away and got me interested in the characters and their stories. In the middle I think she may have lost her memories a few more times than was necessary because I felt like we kept going backwards rather than moving the story forward. But several pages later I was back on the edge of my seat wondering what would happen next. I'm looking forward to reading the next book in the series.

In typical Kim Harrison style, you get thrown straight into the story! 🙂
Admittedly I struggled to keep up with the sheer amount of new concepts coming up in the first few chapters, but as the book progresses all of it starts to make sense, and I am loving it so far! 😍

My next read.
Looking forward to a change in direction from the hollows series, though I have ordered waylaid in preparation!
I'm also way too excited about the turn.
So come on Peri Reed, show me what you've got ☺️

This is the book I chose to bring camping this weekend for the car ride/beach sitting. I can hardly put it down! I love Kim Harrison's Rachel Morgan series so I'm super excited this one is just as good.

My TBR drawer. One of many places I store my books.

Time to choose my next book. Should it be The Drafter or Red Queen?

Maybe it's just not what I'm looki for in a book right now. I will try again another time.
