Welcome to Litsy!

The first Moomin book that came out for the first time 80yrs ago. I think it‘s interesting that the original title doesn‘t mention Moomins, but calls them tiny trolls. Apparently the publisher wanted people to know what they was

In this first story Moomin and his mom are on a journey to find a place to live before the winter and looking for dad. In their way they meet several different creatures and has quite the adventure in a 50p book

It's me, not... Oh wait, it was the book. I love the Borderland franchise, but this didn't work for me at all. All the other titles I came along worked with sexy, but without misogyny. This book does it the other way around. You can write strong male characters without misogyny. Actually, it makes them stronger. So, nope.

"War, Nobby. Huh! What is it good for?" he said.
"Dunno, Sarge. Freeing slaves, maybe?"
"Absol—well, okay."
"Defending yourself against a totalitarian aggressor?"
"All right, I'll grant you that, but—“
"Saving civilization from a horde of—“
"It doesn't do any good in the long run is what I'm saying, Nobby, if you'd listen for five seconds together," said Fred Colon sharply.
"Yeah, but in the long run, what does, Sarge?"

This is very predictable. I was hoping it's just red herrings and the big twists were still coming, but nope.

My quick pitch for this series is “The Hunger Games meets Dungeons and Dragons—with aliens.”

DCC was an unexpected hit with my book club, and an instance where I think the audiobook really enhances the story, because the only person in our club that didn‘t love it read a physical copy. I‘m honestly in awe of the audiobook narrator (Jeff Hays)

The book isn‘t perfect, and there‘s lots of violence and gore, but boy is it a wild ride!

Happy "pictures in front of the Christmas tree" season to all who celebrate ?

I wasn't sure if I would like this dystopian romance, but I really did - so much so that I would consider continuing the series.

I always enjoy spending some time in the world of Murakami. I didn‘t love this one quite as much as a few of his other books, but the idea of living in a library or in the woods sounds pretty great right now. One more from my #10BeforeTheEnd pile.
