Welcome to Litsy!

Nominations are now open to pick our June book for #LitsySciFiBookClub Please suggest one book you would like to read that falls into the Sci-Fi genre. Offshoots like Space Opera works too. Since I'm on vacation starting tomorrow, and will have little to no internet, the voting will remain open until the 23rd.

Hope everyone is coming along with May's selection, The Three Body Problem. Please let me know if you want to added or removed from

50/150 To be honest, I don't get the hype surrounding this book. Yes I found the story interesting, and I'm giving it a pick, a low pick, but I don't think it's anything especially ground breaking. I can't imagine I'd make it past the first episode of the TV series. I'll be interested to see what the other members of #LitsySciFiBookClub think, if I'm in the minority on this. 3.25/5. @TheSpineView

I watched the first episode of the Netflix series, but Mrs B wasn't taken with it, then the book was nominated for the group read, so I've paused the show to avoid spoilers.
I see this has mixed reviews, but I'm partial to some hard sci fi, so have hopes for an enjoyable read 😊📡👽

Listening to the audiobook of The Three Body Problem for #LitsySciFiBookClub, reading Snow Crash for #ClassicLSFBC and reading Burning Chrome just for myself. 😂

After a cataclysmic meteor strike, it‘s a race to get humanity to the moon & beyond, if there‘s going to be any hope for survival. Elma just wants, more than anything, to move from the theoretical math to the stars herself.

I liked this a lot! Strong historical setting, wonderful cast of characters (that I definitely wanted more of), excellent pacing. The ending felt a bit abrupt & a bit unsatisfying, but overall a great listen! 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑

#ReadingBracket2024

I kinda hate the bracket because I don‘t know how to compare books that are both excellent but completely different! Killers of a Certain Age was fun and entertaining and well written; the Man Who Fell to Earth was insightful and thought provoking and, of course, well written. How do I compare them head to head??

Anyway, Man Who Fell is the winner for April! #LitsySciFiBookClub

It‘s gonna by May! #BingoBoard time!
