Welcome to Litsy!

That was just, So SO MUCH. It appears that the challenge of writing about the long term effects of humanity settling on Mars was no longer enough in this last installment of the trilogy, so Robinson sprinkled in concerns about Earth and then extended out to the rest of our solar system! And of course, it's not just the political ramifications of trade or immigration between Earth and Mars, 1/?

Tell me how you really feel, ladies. 💅🏻👀

inured to strangeness 🥴

Officially in love with Vlad. 💪🏻

Yeah, this would be the crux of why I cannot relate to rock-obsessed Ann. 🙄

Life's colors. 💚🌱

Starting the final book in this trilogy. I enjoyed Red Mars more than Green Mars, but looking forward to finishing and seeing how Blue Mars fairs. ❤️💚💙

This is the third book in the Mars Trilogy. While I enjoyed following along with the life of the surviving 100 and a few others, it was very slow and it dwelt too long on the political issues of an independent Mars. I felt it was too detailed and could have been shorter. However, the science parts were interesting. 3⭐️

Currently reading Blue Mars by Kim Stanley Robinson. It is the 3rd book in the Mars Trilogy.

This goes perfectly with Rocket Man by Elton John. Link to lyrics below.

I first of three library came in today. As an audio book it is 35 hours. The third in the Mars Trilogy and is 800 pages so a real chunkster.

Loved Red Mars, Liked Green Mars, activity meh about Blue Mars.

All the political machinations and the slow pace government formation made this a hard slog. But my biggest issue is that the first 100 never grow. They are the same at 30 as they are at 230. Still unable to communicate basic things over years and decades.

I need to order the third book in this series for my husband for Christmas, but how am I supposed to do that when he has apps that track all of the packages delivered to our house? #holidaymail #seasonsreadings

"To Sax it looked like that least rational of conflicts, civil war. Two parts of a group shared many more interests than disagreements, but fought anyway. Unfortunately it was not possible to force people to study cost-benefit analysis."

Time to dive into Blue Mars.

Is there #LifeOnMars? Yes, once we colonise it. More importantly, how much longer will there be life on Earth? And once Mars is settled and terraformed, will we mess that up as well? This is a well read copy, but not by me. I'm too afraid of the answers to those questions, and haven't braved this final book of the trilogy. But I'll take the plunge soon. #SeptemBowie

It's a pity there's no Portuguese translation of his books. Thank gosh I could read this awesome sci fi writer. #kimstanleyrobinson #bluemars #scifi #livro #book #bookaholic #booklovers #ler #leitura #leitora #reading #instabook #instaread #instalivro #instabooks #bookstagram #igread #litsy #booklover #brazilianreader

I forgot to post for #17rainbowbooks yesterday! So a day late: OMG #bluecovers there are so many! I was literally just grabbing books out of the shelves and they were mostly blue. And then I put back those not deemed "blue enough". ?

#booktober #outofthisworld. It has been years since I read this book. Time for a new look at old friends....

For @RealLifeReading #booktober #OutOfThisWorld I am spoiled for choice, but I'm going with one that can also double as #SomethingBorrowed. I've had this book for ages because I'm afraid to start it. This series made me lose faith in humanity, but the second book ended on a hopeful note. And so I've let it linger there, with this third and final part as a sort of Schrodinger's book.
