Welcome to Litsy!

I had three 5 🌟 reads for March, but by far, the best one was Cascade Failure. I loved everything about it, the found family aspect, the word building, the action and the snarky humor. I highly recommend it, even to those people who claim they're not really fans of science fiction.

My husband and I had to go into the city to do a thing at the Apple Store. “Let‘s just drop in and say hi to Stefen at Stefen‘s Books, we don‘t need any more books but you know we‘ll just have a look”.

Had the second of three MRIs this morning at 7am, which, incidentally, is the perfect time to whack up the schedule of the MRI practice when a 10-12min exam turns into a 40min exam. They found something minor but nobody told me about it at the moment and I spiraled a bit, until I read the results.

Anyway, I got myself some books, because an emotional roller-coaster is better with emotional support books.

Two audiobooks and one ebook.

Here's the books from your #AuldLangSpine list, @sebrittainclark, that were on #MountTBR already.

I'm trying to decide which book to start with, Cascade Failure (most looking forward to) or Bride (Hazelwood's last few romances have been #MoreMehThanYeah for me).

Guess I can always add a tenth book from the list and roll a D10. 😉

36/150 If you like Firefly, Guardians of the Galaxy, Becky Chambers or found family stories, this is the book for you. The galaxy is divided by the powers of the Trust and the Union, with the Guild somewhere in between. The crew of the Ambit discovers a secret that could destroy this fragile power structure. There's plenty of action, snarky banter, a betrayal I didn't see coming, and an ending to tug at the heartstrings. 5 🌟 read

4.5/5

The crew of the Ambit find themselves in the middle of galaxy wide conspiracy, and they've got to find a way to stop it before more planets and their inhabitants die.

I love found family on a spaceship. This was a fun sci-fi adventure with a great cast of characters.

While I can verify the comparisons to Becky Chambers and the MurderBot Diaries, and have to say this series-starter is definitely action-packed and big-hearted, something didn‘t work for me…I seemed to misread the characters and at one point was sure a polycule was in the works? These relationships so crucial to the success of this story were unclear to me, and I didn‘t feel like I got to know our main characters well enough to really love them.
