Welcome to Litsy!

Surprised to say this one didn‘t click for me. It has all the right elements — Space horror, realism, psychological suspense — but it didn‘t work for me. The reveal was underwhelming and I never felt fully connected to Catherine. Good prose, though.

The story of an astronaut who returns from a mission (exploring planet outside of Earth‘s solar systems) without other members and with the large holes in her memory is interesting genre mushup between sci-fi and mystery/thriller. The story does not require an active reader, but with enough suspense and interesting psychological elements, this story was for me the right book at the right time. Not great, but simply readable.

This was such a page-turner! I really enjoyed this story about an astronaut who returns to Earth with no memory of her past few months in space or what happened to her crew. 4 / 5 ⭐

The lone survivor of a space mission returns six years later, long after being presumed dead by everyone, including her husband, daughter, and friends. Things are different. Something happened on that mission, but she can‘t remember what. It‘s like there‘s a block on her memories...put there by intentionally...but the crew was alone...right? This could be a stand alone or the setup to a sequel. Plenty of tension and psychological drama.

Big #s this month due to the graphic novels. #WITmonth was a success with about 3/4 translated!

Very excited for September, I've decided on a month of science fiction and fantasy (also including anything speculative) and nonfiction science.

Hope to read swap books and booktube has an apocalypsathon challenge. There's also latinx-a-thon for National Hispanic Heritage Month Sept 15 - Oct 15 that I think I have SFF books for the challenges.

Fast paced thriller revolving around the mystery of what happened to a space exploration team, when only the pilot makes it back six years after losing contact and she has amnesia. Solid 4⭐, a few things resolved conveniently but on audio they didn't distract.

#audiocrafting while listening to the tagged book, sci fi with mystery and possibly some horror ? About a quarter of the way in and it's really good.

@cobwebmoth making use of the kit you sent in the #makerswap. I got some larger canvas and another tube of blue paint but that kit had everything needed and I had a great time painting. Thanks again!😀

4 stars for this psychological thriller set at NASA.

Really compelling characters and amusing story. My first book of #24in48 down. Also over halfway through my audiobook!

Now back to reading!!! Continuing with this one, I only got 124 pages in before I was dozing last night. Now for more coffee and an unhealthy breakfast.

#24in48 #currentlyreading

Trying to get 4 hours under my belt before I sleep. We will see if that happens but so far I'm going pretty strong. Thanks Death Wish coffee, lol. We have a thunderstorm happening rn so ideal reading weather. My husband and dog are asleep and I have to know what actually happened on this mission!

T-minus 90 minutes until #24in48readathon starts. I have my coffee, and my partial stack (I also have some ebooks not pictured). Watching a movie until its time!!

I raced through this story of a woman astronaut who returns to Earth as the sole survivor of her mission to another planet. She has no memory of what happened to the crew. I wanted to see what the author was going to do with this premise. I would have liked more exploration of the characters, and I found the story predictable. I suspect that this is the first in a series, but although it was entertaining, I‘m not desperate to read the next book.

Confession: I took a few vacation hours and drove to a coffee place in the next town so I could finish listening to this book. I enjoyed this story about a woman who returns home from a multi-year space journey, without her crew and without any memories of what happened. I like how the audiobook has two narrators.

This book was really good! And it made me realize I need more sci-fi mystery books in my life! If you have any suggestions let me know!

Catherine returns from space after everyone thought she was dead. Her husband has moved on, her daughter is 18 and graduating high school. Catherine has a lot of ups and downs on her return. She‘s losing time and having violent urges. Ending was a little odd, but still good.

Sorry for the kind of awful photo. There are so many people currently at the beach!

Happy 4th of July Littens!

Currently in Portland, ME at Crescent Beach.

This is the perfect beach read. A mystery set around a space adventure. I do not want to put it down!

With friends who have an apartment in Portland and the hubby, pictured here 😊He brought a book to the beach, but isn‘t reading. (He‘s not a big reader) 🤷🏻‍♀️.

Tide pools and lave beds 🌋 #vacation #currentlyreading

Yikes! I didn‘t realize how big my #JulyTBR was until I stacked it all up!

So, I don‘t know if I‘ll be able to get to all my #MakeMeReadIt books this month. But I‘m gonna try!

I‘ve already started 2 books, the tagged and Terra Nullius. So hopefully that will help.

I also plan to try to listen to some Agatha Christie audiobooks so I can participate in #CozyInTheSun

A six-person mission to another galaxy returns home with a single survivor who doesn‘t remember what happened in this sci-fi tale. It was so engrossing I read it in a single day but I found a few of the interpersonal relationships implausible and for a moment thought the ending was a cliff-hanger.

If you‘re not a fan of hardcore sci-fi but like some of the elements of it, then this book will read well for you. I loved the literary feel to it without it being super science heavy. Much more about interpersonal relationships and and internal dialogue. I loved it.

Just started this and it‘s so good!!!

The book isn‘t out until May, but I want y‘all to keep an eye out for it because I really enjoyed it. It‘s about a presumed-dead astronaut who returns to Earth with no memory of her mission or why she‘s the only survivor. It mixes issues of gender expectations, balancing ambition and family, the ethics of space exploration, and more with a tense, gripping storyline.
