Welcome to Litsy!

I had so much fun during round nine that I had to do it again. This round I‘m doing contemporary fantasy in Group P and Paranormal cozy mysteries in group W.#LMPBC #groupp #groupw #round10. https://m.signupgenius.com/#!/showSignUp/5080444aead2ca0ff2-l...

To its benefit, there's a fair amount of humor in Noggin. I didn't lurrrrrrrve the book overall; but if you want to read it, I wouldn't try to talk you out of it. In a similar vein, I'd recommend We Are Legion (We Are Bob) (Bobiverse #1) instead. [I would think that anyone who would read the YA Noggin could handle the adult Bobiverse, but maybe I'm forgetting content inappropriate for younger readers.]

This book sounds weird, but it‘s a favorite coming-of-age novel.

Travis was a 16-year-old boy dying of cancer with great parents, a loving girlfriend, and a best friend. He decided to have his head frozen, in hopes of having it reattached to a donor body far in the future.

Well, the future comes in 5 years. At 21, his girlfriend is engaged, and his best friend is still in the closet, & going back to high school without them is hard.

Try it! 5⭐️

I‘m reading three #ComingofAge novels right now. It‘s one of my favorite tropes. I especially appreciate ones written for adults like Okasana, Behave! Noggin is excellent. Everything, Everything is okay. I hope to finish them all this weekend!

I know @RamsFan1963 is going to hate this episode because Wesley, but I like the fatherly moment between Picard and Wesley at the end.

Travis was dying of cancer #WaitingfortheMiracle. (Willing suspension of disbelief here!) He had his head frozen and five years later it‘s reanimated and attached to a donor body. Now, Travis is having an #IdentityCrisis. His friends have aged, his girlfriend is engaged to someone else, and his mom can‘t stop crying.

This is more of a coming-of-age story than science fiction. #StarTrekSummerMay #MayMovieMagic

John Corey Whaley writes compelling, thought provoking stories that engage the mind & the heart & Noggin is no exception. Dying teen Travis Coates undergoes a radical medical treatment that may give him a second chance at life. 5 years after his head was cryogenically frozen, it is reattached to a donor body. Navigating his new life is complicated by old relationships/friendships. Travis needs to sort out the past before he can really live. Great!

"Some people say dying alone is a fate worse than death itself. Well, they should try being alone during the living part sometimes."

Noggin has a fun scifi premise (HEAD TRANSPLANT to survive terminal cancer) and a goofy lovable narrator, which is enjoyable, but it is also so much more. A lot changes between when Travis goes on ice and when he comes back, and he has to adjust, mourn the things he lost, and find a new place to fit. I read this soon after I was diagnosed with an ongoing health condition, and it really resonated with me.

Damn this was a good one. This is my favorite. My favorite 2016 read.

That band name, though. 😂

That feeling when you finally pick up a book that's been on your TBR list forever and it's totally living up to your expectations and you're SO GLAD YOU'RE FINALLY READING IT!

Starting the morning off right with a brand new book- can't wait to get started! #24in48

Not too bad so far!
