Welcome to Litsy!

I was originally going to tag The Hunger Games, but then I remembered how much I enjoyed this book when I read it! It‘s always encouraging to read about the strength of a community coming together against a rising fascist power.

#SundayFunday Hope you all are staying safe and healthy, and don‘t forget to tag me in your posts!

Second #roll100 read, and I enjoyed this near-future dystopia, although it‘s was frighteningly plausible. Not sure about the bovine chorus, but I liked the intertwining stories and some interesting themes raised.

I don't know what it is, but this is just not capturing my attention.

A retelling of the original 1984 told from Julia‘s POV. I wish I would have reread the original before getting into this one just to see the character‘s lives intertwining as the story goes along. Definitely was similar to 1984 in its mind twisting and often conflicting stories with the characters. Although I‘m happy to have read it, it certainly wasn‘t a favorite as the story ran in circles and I find it to not need to be almost 400 pages long.

My newest hire on my team at work recommended this one to me. Originally published in 1924.

I love books like this … and B movies … it‘s like WestWorld had a baby with a VR video game with grampa Jurassic Park overseeing it. It takes place hundreds of years in our future.

A crime drama, mystery, amateur women sleuths, sci-fi thriller, with a side of creepy AI.

Murder Land … where everyone dresses up and interacts with famous (serial) killers! Need I say more?

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2

Having a bit of an Orwell moment, I read Wifedom, in prep for reading 1984, in prep for reading this. I really liked how the character of Julia is reimagined - she is a fully flushed out person in this story. Not always a person you like, but realistically drawn. I appreciate that Newman keeps the dark tone of 1984, though the ending is a bit more optimistic which might be just the time we live in. I found her life in the dorms 👇

Good morning my #JuneOfARC littens, and thank you for coming along with me on this journey to work on our NetGalley backlogs!

We‘ve finished the month, and so I‘m wondering if there‘s any old ARC you read that you really want to recommend!

I was actually surprised by how much I enjoyed the tagged book! It ended up being much more hopeful than I had thought!

Strangers Rose & Beo come together as their city seethes w/ violence when the National Peoples‘ Voice ramps up their propaganda against the “unnatural degenerates” threatening the city.

Wow! A very powerful read about the encroachment of facism, the strength of community coming together against hate. A sweet poly romance & the power of stories! Everything resolved more easily than I anticipated, but that‘s an allure of fiction right?🌕🌕🌕🌕🌗
