Welcome to Litsy!

This is a post-apocalyptic Frankenstein retelling. It was okay. The twist ending was good.

Very much enjoyed this pick from #EndOfTheWorldReadingClub

If anyone is looking for a book for the "ace character" prompt for #Pop22 this would fit the bill (frustratingly for me as I need to find another book for this prompt!). Whilst it's not explicitly mentioned that the main character is ace/aro it's very much implied by the plot.

A weird and wonderful reimagining of the Frankenstein story that takes place in a dystopian society where all AI technology has been destroyed. Nell Crane feels like an outsider because of the obvious ticking of her mechanical heart. After finding a detached mannequin hand, she wonders if she can build a friend for herself.

Mmm, okay. I‘m not entirely sure how to describe this. It‘s post internet and the age of information, everyone shuns computers because they believe they caused this huge plague. A young girl with a mechanical heart is the daughter of two important inventors, she decides to create an android. Anyone else read this? Maybe you can help me with the description 😔

I almost stopped reading. So much about this book sucked, maybe the last third was actually ok?
Little to no world building
Irrational characters
I don't know if the author has any knowledge of programming and electrical engineering at all. I know sci-fi may take leaps and a little bit of freedom, but what she tries to do simply does not work.

As an ending it's definitely different. Took me a while to translate/figure it out but it's perfect.

🌟🌟🌟🌟/5
Took me a little while to get into this modern reworking of Frankenstein but once I did I very much enjoyed it. The characters are complicated and intriguing and I loved how the dynamic between them shifted. There's also some wonderful world building with a very believable post apocalyptic setting that's quite dark and sinister. The story is however the main draw and like the original is a little uncomfortable but does make you think.

So, after a landslide in voting #prancingwithprose book clubs August read will be Spare and Found Parts by Sarah Maria Griffin. This is a fun and fierce feminist reimagining of Frankenstein that I‘m sure you will all love. Be sure to secure your copies for August 1st. #bibliophile #bookaddict #bookish #booklover #bookblog #bookstamums #bookworm #retellings

This is an extremely clever take on Frankenstein. This is a story about making a person from machines - a robot, in a time when computers are banished and have destroyed lives. It upholds the promethean theme of Frankenstein and the message in so many ways. I didn‘t expect to love this much as I did, but it was unique and really entertaining. #booked2018 #steampunk

For the Sci-Fi and Fantasy lovers out there, or those wanting to explore something new. I haven't read any of these and have only heard of one. My TBR just got 5 books longer....🙈

Received this gorgeous book from Titan publishers today. Sounds really interesting.

Anyone read or have thoughts on this? I picked up this sampler at Victoria Schawb's event. The author of this book is a Dublin local and moderated the discussion at the event. The premise sounds interesting.

Delightful book mail! This whole #Litsypenpal thing was a brilliant idea. Little envelopes of happy randomly in the mailbox. Thank you for the happy @elkeo ☺️

Wooooooo! Good morning, Littens. Last hour of the #readathon. Who is still reading? 🤘🏻📚👏- @Liberty

My #readathon partner is calling it a night. There's only a few more hours left. Anyone else still awake out there? 📚❤️🤘🏻 - @Liberty

Lovely writing, but so slow. Soooooooooo slow.

#currentlyreading | Taking a break from Cormoran Strike to this weird little book! The writing is very intriguing.

"Just under the surface of the waves where the ocean met the land, a hand without a body reached out for someone to grab it."

Starting this for a Goodreads book club. I love the tag line ~ "We are all more than the sum of our parts." ❤

I love reading in the outside darkness while sitting on a dimly lit bench. Especially if that bench faces a wooded area. Oh, the safety feelings.

Clementine wasn't willing to wait for me to finish the book, but oh my gosh! This is so good! I'm in love with it, the only thing I would've changed is to have made it longer. Everything happens so fast! I wish it could've been spread out so I could've enjoyed it all the more. It's got the makings of a great YA novel, post apocalyptic setting, steampunk influence, and lots and lots of secrets. Check it out!

This book is absolutely fascinating so far. It's a post apocalyptic world that's delightfully steampunk. It gets extra points from me for quoting Carousel of Progress too. 😊

"This is the last time you see her."

Sometimes you finish a book and days later you're still trying to figure out what it did to you. The first half of this I was trying to figure out where it was going to go. For a while it looked like it was going to try to be a teenage Frankenstein love triangle, and then boy did it take a TURN. This is not a satisfying book, but you'll be thinking about it for a while.
