Welcome to Litsy!

Wow! Essential reading for educators at all levels and parents of school age children.

I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it.

Low pick for me.
I thought this was going to be a 4 or 5 star read at first. Then halfway through it ran out of gas and the end was just annoying. There is no way Doug would act the way he did at the end. I thought it was building up to a something big, but it ended with a whimper.
It was a page turner though and I did speed through it and there were a few really interesting moments to reflect on.

This book is going to make me angry.

This was surprisingly good. Annie is an autocratic sentient sex robot, designed to meet all of Doug‘s needs. But you forget she isn‘t human. It‘s very Stepford Wives in Giliad if it was Westworld. It could have used a little more Terminator. But that‘s just because it gave me feelings.

Here are my Valentine's gifts from Barnes & Noble.

Two books that seem very interesting
And a Moomin bag, because... I love the Moomins!!!!

Okay, so I‘d checked this out from the library, started it, and it made me so uncomfortable. Then, lovely @AmyG gifted it to me and I figured the universe must be trying to tell me to read it. I ended up absolutely HOOKED. Yes, it‘s SO CRINGY at times, and there are definitely triggers. I hated Doug with a passion. Just wow, this could easily be a favorite of the year for me.

Amy, Amy, Amy ♥️♥️♥️ Thank you, sweet friend/book twin/all around awesome lady 😘😘 @AmyG

4/5 🌟

Annie is a robot designed by Doug to fulfill his every desire. Programmed to operate in a sentient mode to appear more human, she begins to develop independent thoughts and emotions. As Annie evolves, she starts questioning her identity and what it means to be human. A thought-provoking and compelling read.
