Welcome to Litsy!

I've loved Firefly for years but hadn‘t read the books. I was pleasantly surprised that it maintained the tone of the show. They managed to capture the characters' ticks & personalities. It picks up where the show ends, but before the movie takes place. Mal finds himself in trouble & Zoey is left in charge. I loved learning more about Mal & Shepherd's history before we meet them. I'll read more of the series & maybe re-watch the show again.

Another book finished for #SciFiSummer. This was a great first book in the Firefly series and I'm looking forward to reading the others.

This puts the romp in space romp with that signature Firefly western bent. What I expected and not half bad for the pulp and spin-off that it is!

Not the best writing, but not the worst either. It kept me listening and I was glad to hang out with these characters again ❤️

Audiocrafting with my cuddle buddy. Trying to learn how to knit after ~30 years of being a crochet queen. Slooooowly getting the hang of it. #huey #catsoflitsy

I couldn‘t sum up better my feelings about Firefly. The first time Hubby asked me to watch it with him I wasn‘t all that interested. But last year I watched past the first episode and fell in love with the ‘verse. Firefly is my favorite and my adorable Hubby found novels that had been written in collaboration with the original author and got them for us, because he is an adorable man who knows the way to my heart. I‘m so excited to read this today

Hubby had the most epic surprise the other day...as he constantly reminds me these are for both of us haha 😜

Firefly is my absolute favorite, I powered through the series, the movie and comics, I had no idea someone wrote novels and collaborated with the original creator.

I cannot wait to read all of these!!!!

🎧 Firefly fan? If you are then this might be for you. The narrator is good. It‘s written pretty true to the series. It‘s like having a 2nd season. I‘ve been hesitant to get into these, afraid they‘d disappoint but the dialog is so spot on that I can hear the actors in my head. I own a couple of the books but I think I will collect the audios. Loved it! It was just what I needed. Star loss due to a few narrator missteps. Back to work. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️3/4

Mal knew he had a tendency to underestimate Badger, because the man seemed so gorram stupid. But stupid and dangerous weren‘t mutually exclusive.
Look at Jayne.

#jamminjune @Eggs #fireflies The Firefly series was great, and there are several books and comics that continue the story.

Take my love, take my land
Take me where I cannot stand
I don't care, I'm still free
You can't take the sky from me
Take me out to the black
Tell 'em I ain't comin' back
Burn the land and boil the sea
You can't take the sky from me
There's no place I can be
Since I found #serenity
But you can't take the sky from me

How did I not know about these!! Totally starting today, readalongs, challenges, whatever be damned!!!

Weekend plans.

I absolutely loved this story and happy I can continue reading adventures of the Serenity crew. We find out more about Malcolm's past that catches up with him, River's weird things, Shepherd's fuzzy past and of course Jayne's machoness (I miss that the most!). All in all a great read that I couldn't put down. Looking forward to reading more stories in this genre.

Flew around the ‘Verse to pick up these two books with Shiny! covers.

What wonderful brain candy! I‘ve already been telling fellow Browncoats about this series. It‘s no Season Two, but it‘s a heck of a lot of fun. Lovegrove hits the characters‘ voices and the cadences of speech the series developed and created a fun tale. Looking forward to the others in the series. These will likely be library reads for me due to space issues, but I don‘t plan on missing any of them.

Okay! I‘ll finally stop posting about this book. I finally finished it! I tried to savor it as much as possible, but at a certain point I just had to finish it!

This book was so good! It was like a lost episode of Firefly. I could picture everyone while reading it. It takes place in the middle of the series, so everyone is in, Wash, the Shepherd, River, everyone!

So much nostalgia while reading this. I need the other books now!

I‘ve got my pie, my tea and my book to cheer me up on this dreary afternoon.

I‘m slowly getting through this book because I want to savor it. And never want it to end. 💚

Unlike the way I ate my pie. It‘s already eaten as I‘m posting this. 😂😂😂

My mom made a whole custard pie and I‘m really the only one in my family that eats it. My husband told me just because I took it home doesn‘t mean I have to eat it all. Of course I‘m going to eat it!

1. I obviously had to start this book right away!
2. Nothing really going on Saturday. But celebrating Easter with my family and then the in-laws on Sunday.
3. No
4. Probably Lily, no real reason. Just have always liked the name. If we ever had a kid and it was a girl, I‘d probably name her that.
5. 👍🏻💚👍🏻

🤯🤯🥰😍🥰😍🥰

Thank you so much @Kayla.Adriena for the amazing #sffs package! So many amazing books that I can‘t wait to read!

And that is the biggest Toblerone ever! I don‘t even know where to start with it! And gunpowder green tea is my favorite so I can‘t wait to try it!

Ahh I‘m so excited! Thank you so much 💚💚

#scififantasyswap

Who‘s excited about the Firefly books?! I can‘t wait for them to come out in audio! For know I‘m #knitting here watching #serenity with my cup of tea 🥰 #knittersoflitsy

Well... I was about to start this but she looks comfortable.

I enjoyed this—it‘s your basic tv show tie-in so it felt like a decent episode of the show but as with most tie-in stories, stakes are low because you know that nothing big enough to change the fundamental dynamics will happen—Mal isn‘t going to die or hook up with Inara—but there was a reasonable level of “okay he is going to survive but how?” Suspense and since I loved this show, any chance to spend time with these folks is worth it!

You have to really love Firefly, have some serious nostalgia in fact, to like this book. The story itself was cliche and quite juvenile rather than the offbeat quirky antics of the show or graphic novels. I'm a big fan of Firefly, that's the only reason I read I through.

Admittedly, it was fun having time with the crew again. I just wish the story and the writing had been better.

#MarchIntoThe70s #Day25 #BornToRun Wow, we are in the final week of March already! It‘s been a blast introducing people to not just new books, but new music as well. Can‘t wait till next March🙌My book for this prompt is all for Captain Mal. After the defeat of the Browncoats, Mal has kept on running, trying to outpace the Alliance while tweaking their nose a bit by stealing from them. I loved the tv series, loved the movie & now the novels.🧡🚀

I'm really excited to start this one! #fireflyforever #bigdamnheroes #wedidtheimpossible #allthefeels

When Captain Malcolm Reynolds is mysteriously kidnapped, it‘s up to the rest of Serenity‘s scrappy crew to come to the rescue.

Even though the fan service sometimes felt like checking boxes (mention Jayne‘s hat, Badger shows up, Hands of Blue, etc.) and the truly surprising identity of Mal‘s kidnappers wasn‘t developed as much as it could have been, this was good fun.

Bonus points to Lovegrove for nailing everyone‘s distinct voices.

This legitimately made me laugh out loud. Oh, Mal, you rascal.

#LitsyAfterDark

A fantastically enjoyable story set in one of my most beloved worlds! Can't wait for the next few novels in the series

Dear book,

I wanted to let you know that you‘re quite enjoyable, even more than I thought you would be, but I have a concern...

if there is one thing that Captain Malcolm Reynolds does NOT need it is a Tragic Backstory about a Dead Girlfriend* and you seem to be heading in that direction. It‘s not too late to course correct though, and you seem better than that kind of gōngniú fèn so far.

Do the right thing.

Yours, etc.

My afternoon pick-me-up

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Soooo good. So so so good. Oh, I have missed these people so much, and it was like getting to visit with old friends, old wonderful, sweet, and funny friends. Just so much love for this book, and I can't wait for the next one to be released.

Nearly done with #24in48. I'll probably finish up with some LotR.

I ❤ Jayne.

The writing itself was a bit heavy handed at times, but I‘m a huge fan girl so I had SO much fun being back in the ‘verse for a little while! 😺

I'm alternating between reading Big Damn Hero and listening to Veronica Mars: The Thousand Dollar Tan Line. Both are tons of fun. Getting to 24 hours is going to be a struggle, but I'm gonna try my best. Staying caffeinated is my strategy.

Books based on licensed properties are always a gamble, largely because they limit the characters‘ chances to grow. All the big revelations need to happen on a screen. Still, if the author can nail the same tone as the show this can‘t help but be fun.

I‘ve read a few of James Lovegrove‘s Godpunk books and he can handle actions and snappy dialogue, but his plotting can sometimes be a bit wonky.

Here‘s hoping things turn out shiny. #Starting

Wow. I am the luckiest gal EVER! My bestest friend, @DaveGreen7777 just sent me a box of Christmas presents and it was filled to the brim with these lovely goodies! 😀 Missy and Zoe funko pops! A Firefly book with best title ever! Fantasy books that look amazing! AND THE MOST FANTASTIC DOCTOR WHO GIRL POWER BOOK EVER!!! 📚 You really outdid yourself, my friend. 💕 Thank you SO much! I'm so lucky to have you as a friend! 🤗💕

This is giving me all the Firefly feels.❤️

Oh my god oh my god oh my god! It‘s finally here! I‘m such trash for Firefly, Nathan Fillion & anything Joss Whedon. I was totally gutted that it was cancelled after just one short season. Loved the movie & the graphic novels but having a proper story set in the ‘verse is just so fantastic. My inner geek is in raptures! Now I‘m just waiting on Slayer by Kiersten White, the new Buffy verse novel🚀 #thebrowncoatsarecomin
