Welcome to Litsy!

I did a reread of this book from the Vorkosigan series, one of my very favourite sci-fi series. This time around, I listened to the audiobook, superbly narrated by Grover Gardner.

This is my #1986 entry for the #192025 challenge. @Librarybelle

It also brings me to 8 hours and 40 minuets for the #20in4 readathon. @Andrew65

Found another Bujold fan! (Or at least their car...)

This was well written, but I just couldn‘t connect with the characters or the story. Glad I gave it a shot though! I‘d heard so much about this one.

I love a good heist novel and this feels kind of like an accidental heist to me. Miles manages to get himself into a tricky situation that requires all his ingenuity to survive despite his physical limitations. I like that Miles is not fully able bodied and yet he is unquestionably the hero of this tale. I enjoyed this although it can be a little problematic with regards to gender sensitivity.

#BookReport
So far the new year has started off right as I‘ve finished two books that were both great. I wasn‘t sure about either but loved every minute.

#WeeklyForecast
My goal this week is to finish Warrior‘s Apprentice and then move on to my project of finishing series I‘ve started in the past. Thinking about working on The Expanse first.

Practicing some self care by stopping my doomscrolling and starting my #DoubleSpin selection for the month.

Welp it's that time again because @TheAromaofBooks has posted the #BookSpin reminder here's my list. I'm still not quite up to the stress of reading for bingo but I'm excited to know what the two picks for November will be.

Book 3 complete! #24in48 #24in48readathon

This is the 4th Vorkosigan novel I've read and I keep expecting to hit one that's not at the same level in quality to the first, but Lois McMaster Bujold has managed to knock it out of the park 4 times now. I hope it keeps up through the next 8.

I'm 154 pages into my 3rd book and almost 8 hours in! #24in48 #24in48readathon @24in48

Final #HugoAward ballot is up and look at the inaugural best series nominations! Vorkosigan 2017!

(Sorry, Temeraire, October Daye, Peter Grant... but Miles is my first love.)

I thought I would take the #riotgrams #freebie tag literally. This book was given to me by my fave bookstore owner. He and I have similar tastes and when he found out I'd not read SF since reading some hideous books in high school, he forced this into my hands with a guarantee I'd like it.

I loved it, and it got me hooked on SF once more. That was about 15 years ago. Thank you, R. 🖤

I've been binge listening to this wonderful character driven science fiction series lately...for about the sixth time. The printed versions are great, but for me, Grover Gardner is *the* voice of Miles Naismith Vorkosigan. This book is a great place to jump into the series.
