Welcome to Litsy!

Why did I immediately think of you @Cinfhen ? 😂😂😂

Tagged book is an example of the genre.

I love a dystopia. No exception here. We see the beginning of the end of civilization brought on by climate crisis due to humanity‘s stubborn reluctance to admit it‘s happening and change lifestyles. Sound familiar? This part feels extremely realistic (and probable) to me.

The other storyline is bizarre- maybe aliens on Mars looking to repopulate mostly-empty of life Earth? Kind of #BananaPants but I was into it.

Sietje will pose for treats.

I was hesitant about reading this, since I didn‘t care for Solomon‘s last book, The Deep. But Jenny Lawson chose it for the #FantasticStrangelings bookclub pick a few months ago, and I usually like her choices.

Then I really really liked it. It‘s strange and creepy, but also tender. It‘s an escape from a cult and a tale of motherhood and a monster story and a somewhat warped sexy romance… and a thriller. There‘s a lot here, good stuff!

This book is pretty banana pants, but I actually really liked it. What a strange and unusual way to describe addiction. And a chilling idea of modern indentured servitude.

Eddie‘s devotion to his mother even through what seems insurmountable addiction, Darlene‘s intense sorrow over the loss of her husband, and the hopelessness of debt had me in my feelings.

I can understand why it might have been too crazy for some readers. 🍌👖

7:40 hours to go. It‘s as #bananapants as I anticipated

I love this weird series! This one was fun, with the intelligent sea creatures joining the power struggle that has already been happening on land. I also liked Sheba‘s international turmoil, trying to decide where she belongs, as well as coming to terms with who she is now.

I can‘t remember who posted the #AllTheBooks Banana Pants T-shirt , but I got my tank! I love it! From Tee Fury I believe, and they‘ve got it in lots of t and tank styles and colors. Yay #BananaPants 🍌👖!

(Pretty sure this was created by the All The Books podcast folks)

I just discovered this is available on Hoopla, so my second #makemereadit is about to start as I get some work done in my stained glass studio. I‘m hoping for a fun, silly, maybe kinda #bananapants read 🍌👖.

Congrats on your milestone @BarbaraBB and thanks for hosting the #SpotlightGiveaway!

Mort(e) is a fun and wacky sci-fi that fans of the Annihilation trilogy and 🍌👖 books like Hitchhiker‘s Guide should love.

It‘s a story of animals, particularly pets, rising up and taking over the world. With the help of giant ants. For real. Banana-pants. Read it.

While I didn‘t enjoy this quite as much as I did Mort(e), it was a fun and fast read. I liked getting to know Culdesac the bobcat, and learn his backstory. I was surprised at the end, and I‘m wondering where Repino will go with the next book, D‘Arc. I may pick it up soon.

These covers are some of my favorites! Simple but so cool!

(Thank you Holly!)
