Welcome to Litsy!

Took myself on a breakfast date today. Miss Daisy just out of shot.

Since everybody's playing Helldivers 2, it's time to revisit the classic! Here's a clip from ep. 18 Starship Troopers by Heinlein

1. The Fault In Our Stars - John Green

2. Her Mad Hatter by Marie Hall. This is an Alice In Wonderland retelling. This is the first book in a series called Kingdom. It‘s a series of fairytale retellings. I‘ve enjoyed what I‘ve read from the series so far. She has written more in the series since then. I want to read the other books. I like fairytales and fairytale retellings. They‘re magical and a happy ending is guaranteed.

Low pick because I bounced hard off the physical copy with the weird pidgin talk writing BUT the audio was perfect because you didn't have to figure out how the words worked you just heard them as they should sound. It was a little bit misogynistic and overtly libertarian but there were still a lot of interesting ideas being floated around.

An old fashioned rollicking space adventure with twists that have been rehashed both before and after this plot line. Classic Sci-fi feels fragile like bakelite, is rife with no-dos and wince material, but there was enough fun here to warrant the listen.

Ugh! Strange syntax by our hero, characters in blackface, endless and confusing descriptions about sleeper cells, the inner workings of Luna and a computer named Mike, all of which leads up to a revolution which I assume happens. Made it to 40%, but just didn't care enough to find out if they were successful or not. I guess this reader is a harsh reviewer.
