Welcome to Litsy!

My book haul just came in the mail! I think I'm going to read this new translation of The Iliad next. 🤔

Inhaled this book in one day as i found it so interesting. However im not sure its going to stay with me. The form is that of a notebook being passed from one person to the next so you dont stay with any one character for long. In a future world a nanite technology recreates all your human cells so that you can survive a terminal illness. But are you still human? Do you still have a soul and does it wish to remain forever in this ⬇️

This one is a low Pick due to it taking forever to get going & nearly not capturing my attention at all before it finally moved the plot on. Sister witches wanting different things from life, curses, witchcraft paranoia, heartbreak, betrayal & forgiveness - this was actually a cracking, if slightly lowkey, read. Evocative writing, some interesting symbolism, and strong, capable, independent women at one with nature & their own worth. Nice.

We're reading Night Watch in October this year. 😉

I love books about dragons and dragon riders. This book felt a little different in that most of the dragons were mean jerks and their riders not much better. In this world, dragon riders are revered but to be one means a painful death will happen probably sooner than later. These dragons can have many riders over their lifetimes.

I liked the story of Anahrod. I think my favorite parts were when she was in the jungle. That was fascinating.

First novella in a fun Sci-fi trilogy with a dash of romance.

There is a heist. And, without spoiling too much, neither Ada nor Rian are what they pretend to be.

Finishing up the Stitch in Time series as my first book of 2025. I loved this series. I'll miss all of these characters and would love to hear that Kelley Armstrong has something new and quirky in mind for them. #01-2025

I finished my GR goal yesterday by finishing 2 of my way too many currently reading books (at one point I was at 29 🙄). One of my goals this year is to be more focused in my reading.

Night Watch is a brilliant novel that offers far more than just a fun fantasy read. It's a deep and thought-provoking exploration of duty, justice, and the power of individual choices. Pratchett uses the Discworld setting to shine a light on the human condition, with all its flaws and triumphs, making this book one that will stay with you long after you've turned the final page...

4⭐This is Beth Rivas at her best. This is a fun space romp adventure that manages to pack a ton of action and intrigue into a very small space. The book is not a romance, but has romance in it that makes all readers want to continue flipping the pages. We start with a salvager who is in distress and puts out a help call to another ship. She‘s picked up by the rescue ship and becomes a temporary member of their crew to help with the current mission
