Welcome to Litsy!

Not convinced that the theme effectively ties all the stories together but in spite of that the individual stories are really well written and compelling.

This is one trippy ride...dark, mind bending, maybe even hopeful. The fourth quarter (the novel has 4 linked quarters) was a bit over my head.

A strange but provocative read, thus far. It‘s got that Fever Dream vibe, where you‘re not sure how much you‘re enjoying it, yet you can‘t put it down.

“The spiral has existed as long as time has existed.” Seth and I are reading this; it is written in quarters which can be read in any order. We‘ve started at the 4th, in the far future where 500 humans make a voyage into deep space to attempt to colonise a new planet. There is lots of maths involved and Seth has just had to explain Phi and the Fibonacci sequence to me. I don‘t understand a word of it but he‘s loving it! 🤔 #raisingreaders

Taz likes to chew on my hug light. This could be a problem, lol. P.S. A hug light is like an open necklace that has lights on each end to read. It's awesome! 👍😺

Oooooh I do love an interactive book!

This is Stormy she's 12 or so. My female cats are so much more photogenic, lol. Picked this book up in the YA section of the library today. The Paws book I own it's such a cute little book with great poems and quotes. I like to read it at night. We're just chillin on the kitchen floor, cool here 😺

Have you ever felt that maybe a YA book was too smart for you? Book 11 of #100bookchallenge

One of my absolute favourites this year! Marcus Sedgwick just keeps getting better and better... fingers crossed for this (or Nick Lake's There Will Be Lies) to win Carnegie 2016!

I bailed on this #PrintzHonor book and therefore give it ⭐️/5 in my book review. I have loved the weirdness and amazing storytelling of Marcus Sedgwick's previous books 📚, but this one I just couldn't get into no matter how hard I tried. It isn't worth the check-out.

Tried so hard to like this, and love some of his other work. I felt this thought too much of itself and tried to be clever but didn't quite make it. I finished it but didn't enjoy it.

My highest recommended book of the year so far. Seriously beautiful, haunting and overall just...amazing. Connects four vastly different stories all through a shape, a spiral. You won't regret reading this.
