Welcome to Litsy!

Earth is on the brink of collapse, so when a message from a long-extinct alien race called the 'Undying' is intercepted, it seems like the perfect solution. The message leads to a now uninhabited planet called Gaia where it's rumoured that the temples hold tech worth a fortune. Mia Radcliffe is hoping to make enough money scavenging to buy her sister back from an illegal contract but she will have to compete against faster & stronger competitors.

#readwithmrbook #onewordbook Another series by Amie Kaufman. Houston Public library has this one and my local one did not. You can get a library card from Houston Public library for a fee outside of Texas, or free for Texas residents. $20 for six months.

Not usually a fan of romance, however I really enjoyed the relationship between Amelia and Jules. I discovered Amie Kauffman late last year and have enjoyed every book and series she has written. YA book with mild language and violence.

#currently listening/reading Just added Unearthed to my already overreaching list. I‘m currently reading HPPS in paperback, kindle, and listening on overdrive and on CD. Such a Fun Age I have to limit when I listen due to language.

Final update.

Busy week, but I took a tiny bit of time for myself. A little rest to get a cold in check before it turned nasty.

This picture shows #GhostCat while I tried doing yoga.

This wasn't my best round, but I definitely feel fitter than before starting round 1.

More or less a Goodreads find, that's the prompt I'll file this under. Have read the Illuminae files, but snagged this because it was prompted as Indiana Jones meets Lara Croft on foreign planet. Sold!

Listening to this while resting on my acupuncture mat. Steve West is the male narrator. 😍 Can we get an emoji with hearts for ears???
Also, the male character is called Jules. 😀

This was quite a fun adventure and I loved the characters. It had a tendency over explain things then switch point of views and over explain the same thing over again. descriptions were quite sparse, I had a bit of trouble picturing most things but it was fast paced and exciting. Overall I enjoyed my time here and will definitely pick up the next one.

6/10 💫

I guess since the rain has ruined my plans of mowing my lawn on my day off I will just sit here and attempt to finish my book instead.

"Humans exceed themselves when they open their minds to discovery. When we immerse ourselves in the wonders of curiosity, rather than moving straight toward the goal we've chosen. Toward the goal we imagine is most important, because it's the one we can see. When we allow ourselves to explore, we discover destinations that were never on our map."

The best way to explain how I felt about this book is.... I could not wait for the hold on the audio of the next book with my library and I IMMEDIATELY used an audible credit for it. Wow. This was fun! And that ending 😱😱😱

Anxious to get into this book today!!! I‘m 21% into it already and I love it!! But then again I love everything Amie does.

3 out of 5 stars

I really enjoyed this! The two main characters constantly surprised and challenged each other and it was a fantastic look at how your experiences shape your actions even if your values are the same. #YA #scifi

I can't believe I found the Page Habit-annotated version of this book at HPB! 😱

A sci fi

I enjoyed this book but not as much as I thought it would. I liked the idea of an Indiana Jones in space but I found that it took over 100 pages for me to really get into the book. Also I think I would have enjoyed it more as a third person narrative. It was done as first person going between the two main characters and I wasn't able to get the full expanse of the setting that might have been possible with a different narrative.

This book was so good, I was sucked into the story and action right away. I need book 2 right now.

I‘m sad I didn‘t like this more. I really liked their previous series (These Broken Stars). I had to force myself to finish this and never felt invested in the main characters. Also, the writing was pretty rough. About every other page repeated what came before only in a slightly different way. This was a disappointing read from authors I enjoy. Not sure if I‘ll even give the second one a shot.

The Floof is assisting me again tonight. Enjoying this Indiana-Jones-on-another-planet-with-alien-riddles-and-high-stakes adventure!

This book surprised me with how much I enjoyed it. It was fast paced and really liked its exploring of themes of loyalty and how far we are willing to go for the people we love. That cliffhanger was a doosy and the wait for book two is gonna suck though.

I really enjoyed this duos first trilogy so let‘s see what this new one‘s got

UNEARTHED by Amie Kaufman and Meagan Spooner is a fast-paced YA adventure set in space. It manages to balance action and explosions with romance in cinematic style. Lots of fun, but watch out for the cliffhanger!

My thoughts on this week's reads!

#booktube

Definitely not the worst books that I read.

I think some of the characters actions weren't consistent throughout based on their personalities nor did I buy the romance BUT I liked the plot. Reminded me of Stargate or Star Wars or Firefly or...one of them space shows with portals.

I'll definitely pick up the sequel

I really hope I love this book! The cover is so pretty! I need to like it enough to justify buying it!

Just getting into Unearthed, I really enjoyed Illuminae and Gemina, so I'm looking forward to seeing where Unearthed takes me!

In January I read 3 books and started The Ask and The Answer by Patrick Ness.

THANK YOU to @TheBookKeepers for my books that arrived from your 1K giveaway; they happened to also come on the same day as a book (Unearthed) from a friend, and because I‘ve been feeling so crummy, the book package definitely made the day brighter. I now have a 10 year old boy wanting to read ‘The Hunger Games‘ though. I told him he may have to wait a bit...🏹 #bookmail

#24in48 Wrap-Up Blog Post!
If you want to read my mini reviews of the six books I read during the readathon, visit my blog at http://www.annahenke.com/the-24in48-readathon/
Hope to see you there!

This is happening

#24in48 just finished book two, which ended up being the audiobook UNEARTHED. I really liked it! Great #yaadventure time check: 11.5 hours reading

Well, didn‘t see that ending coming. Can‘t wait to see where this series goes.

#amlistening I have absolutely loved the authors‘ other works and am a sucker for all things archaeology. This is so in my wheelhouse! Liking it so far! #scifi #sciencefiction #ya #unearthed #amiekaufman #jaykristoff #audiobook

Finally, after a long cold 🌬stretch , we got to a bookstore. 📚 Good thing, cuz now we're buried. 🌨❄️❄️❄️🌨
Found a doggy bed for a buck and a half...it's a little snug but Dex is making it work. 🐾 😝. #catsoflitsy

I really enjoyed this book. The characters were superb and the story was excellent. Can't wait to read the next one.

I totally enjoyed this book. I love the Indiana Jones/Lars Croft feel to it. Of course after the These Broken Stars Books, I‘ll follow these ladies anywhere. But THAT ENDING!

I am excited for Unearthed, but overall, I am underwhelmed by the @Pagehabit Quarterly YA Box this time. I always like Out of Print pouches, but the other extras are lacking. And I already own Starflight, so I‘ll be giving this one away. I don‘t think many people are getting the Quarterly boxes since PageHabit took over, and maybe they put more effort into their monthly boxes. I tried canceling my subscription online and got an error. Meh.

Ooooh. So much fun. Indiana Jones in space. Fast-paced chase for the treasure with witty characters along the way.

My pagehabit goodie box 😄

Happy release day to UNEARTHED! 🚀⭐️💥🌏😍📚 If you‘re looking for a fast-paced sci-fi with totally shippable main characters, @AmieKaufman and Meagan Spooner‘s new one is for you. I love their work — if you love YA sci-fi and haven‘t read their backlist, you‘re missing out! Inspired by Lara Croft and Indiana Jones, UNEARTHED is great for fans of ILLUMINAE, THESE BROKEN STARS and SHADOW RUN.
