Litsy

My BN trip‘s theme today was banned books.

My sister recommended The Assistant to the Villain series so I picked those up too and my new hot beverage reading buddy was $5 at the checkout.

Project Hail Mary | Andy Weir

Totally #BlameItOnMeg my #AudioGuru Absolutely outside my comfort zone, but too many positive reviews has me all #LetsDoThis
Also narrator sounds just like Tom Hanks❤️

TrishB Enjoy 👍🏻 4y

Bklover I just checked this one out of the library. Loved his first book; second one was meh (should stick to male characters). Can‘t wait to try this one. 4y

Cinfhen Wow!!! So lucky that your library had a copy available @Bklover 🙌🏻❣️I was meh about his first book, HATED the second so I‘m iffy about this one...BUT so far, it‘s very engaging @TrishB 4y

BarbaraBB I was triggered too by Meg‘a review. Can‘t wait to find out if you love it as much. 4y

julesG I really enjoyed the book. My son's reading it right now - in German, though. He's enjoying it, too. 4y

Cinfhen It‘s A LOT of science @julesG @BarbaraBB it‘s very clever but I‘m not fully immersed yet....it‘s definitely more like The Martian in its wit and tone. 4y

julesG True. Lots of science, but I thought it was rather well explained. Even the thing with the centrifuge. 😁 4y

Megabooks I hope you‘re still enjoying it! 4y

Oryx It took me until about a third of the way into this before I got completely into it. Then I was hooked. 4y

BarbaraBB I haven‘t read The Martian either. Meg is way more into science than I am so I‘m not sure yet! 4y

Cinfhen @Oryx I‘ve just met Rocky!!! So I‘m assuming things are about to become more entertaining @julesG @Megabooks 4y

Cinfhen I‘m not sure if you‘re gonna love this one @BarbaraBB but the science is easily explained and I appreciate that. You feel smart for understanding, not dumb for not knowing🤪🤪 @julesG and that takes skill as a writer. Andy Weir is quite a genius 🙌🏻 (edited) 4y

julesG I'm pretty sure Weir would have made a great science teacher. He understands that some people struggle with science and explains so that everyone grasps it. And that, as you said, shows genius. 4y

Megabooks His friendship with Rocky is just so fun to watch unfold!! That is the best part of the book, IMO!!! 4y

Megabooks @BarbaraBB While the science is well explained to a native English speaker, I think it may be hard for someone who doesn‘t have a science vocabulary in English. (It is explained to what we would call a “high school level” - what you‘d know by 16 or 17, but if you‘re rusty in English science or didn‘t learn these concept in English, it may be harder.) 4y

BarbaraBB @Megabooks @Cinfhen Thanks for explaining. I think I‘ll take a pass for now 🤷🏻‍♀️ #somanybookssolittletime 4y

Cinfhen I haven‘t listened much today @Megabooks but I‘m looking forward to seeing their friendship evolve 4y

Cinfhen You may want to pick it up eventually @BarbaraBB but I don‘t think you need to rush to read it☺️like you said #SoManyBooksSoLittleTime 4y

Megabooks I didn‘t/don‘t mean to talk down to you @BarbaraBB and I hope I haven‘t offended you. I also know you‘re not a fan of science, but I think you‘d like the music and the friendship between Rocky and Grace. Perhaps in the future, as @Cinfhen said?? 4y

BarbaraBB @Megabooks You didn‘t offend me at all, you were very helpful and I think you‘re right: science in English jargon seems quite difficult. The music and friendship sounds good but I‘ll wait for a while ❤️😘 4y

Cinfhen It‘s a lot of science @BarbaraBB a bit too much for me!! I‘m enjoying the book but I can‘t listen for very long periods of time 4y

I've yet to complete either of my #bookspin picks for June, and my husband and I just started an 1100 page opus for our book club, but #BookSpinBingo sounds like WAY TOO MUCH FUN to pass up. You've done it again, Sarah! @TheAromaofBooks #LetsDoThis 😎

Too Close to Home: A Thriller | Linwood Barclay

Oops. I slept in just a bit(well, a lot)so I‘m only just starting today‘s section of #MrBook1InAMillion #24B4Monday #readathon & #LitsyPartyOfOne Kicking off with this rather battered library copy of Linwood Barclays 2nd novel about a violent home invasion that ends with an entire family dead. But what if the killers got the wrong house? I‘m sitting at just over 18hrs so far, let‘s see how many I can get today! #letsdothis
