Welcome to Litsy!

And I almost forgot to show .. books received for Christmas! The Mountain Baker is from my sister; A Trick of the Light is from my sister in law; the rest of the books are from my husband… and this amazing book alley for my bookshelf (placed between 2 books) is from my mother in law! 😍😍😍

Four very different people crew a warship operated by a powerful AI in this tale of interpersonal dynamics and inter-species war. After a worst-case scenario first contact, humanity has devoted vast resources to finding and eliminating their enemy, known as salamanders, and the Providence class ship is the culmination of their efforts. This was a one-sitting read for me, cinematic and psychologically interesting high concept SF.

This month‘s sci-fi & fantasy book club pick

Excellent outer space adventure! I really enjoyed it. I thought the ending was perfect for this story. If you like
sci-fi you will like this book.

The first half of this book is a slow meander of the time getting to and then lived on the Providence, and then it‘s a bit of a jump forward and things start happening quickly and horribly. Interesting read but not my favorite. Would still definitely recommend it though.
This book publishes in April and I got to read it thanks to #Netgalley and the publisher.

Max Barry, author of one of my favorite sci-fi books, Lexicon has this space romping adventure coming in April! Keep an eye out for it. It‘s a ton of fun.
