Welcome to Litsy!

I had to go out first thing to help my dad transfer the Grey Cup tickets he won but can‘t use because he has a death cold. 😔 (Luckily, my uncle‘s gonna go with his neighbour, who‘s a hardcore Roughriders fan.) Now I‘m home with serious plans to read space opera and snuggle Geo, who‘s fluffed right out since I last saw him a month ago. Is he a small dog or a mop? It‘s tough to say but either way he‘s mighty cute.

One down 5 to go … I remember why I bought the next five now after finishing this on I really needed to find out what happened… and now I‘m going to with the next book 📖

This is the series I‘m focused on this month although there are more books on my November tbr this is the series I want to finish

This is my TBR for November (with the three books from my October tbr) I‘m rereading the tagged book as I have more of the series now. There are a lot of fantasy books but I really need to get these books read … if I don‘t finish some they will of course go to December but I read close to 30 books in October so here‘s hope I g I finish these

Established in her role, her legacy, and her kingdom, Hail has a new set of challenges & a new set of folks looking to kill her. The battle between the Faria & Shen people has reached Indrana's backdoor and Hail is called upon to negotiate. Guess that's what she gets for having a ruthless past amongst the criminal element of the galaxy. Thing is...nothing ever goes to plan for Hail & dodging bullets might just be preferable to playing peacemaker.

I read a lot of reviews after this that thought it was halfassed but I had a good time with it. There is a bit of learning curve as there are no traditional chapter breaks and a fair bit of timeline jumping but once I settled into that I was engaged. I also really liked the Dwellers.

I made a small start on STAR NOMAD yesterday, before post-vaccine wooziness set in, and I‘m pleased so far! While the series‘ prequel novella didn‘t grab me, this official first book has a good hook and some intriguing characters. I‘m eager to read on.

Also of note: I refreshed my Kobo case with a fruit bat sticker from a brand new local makers‘ shop I discovered today. I proved powerless against this 3D printed dragon, too.

An excellent installment in one of my two favourite sci-fi series (the other being The Expanse). Listening to Grover Gardner's audio narration made this reread even more enjoyable.

Listed as a trilogy but actually the 4th book I‘ve read in the “Revelation Space” universe. After thousands of pages and over 15 years reading these books, I can believe how bad this was compared to the previous ones. If I hadn‘t invested so much time in this series I would have bailed on this one. I think Reynolds‘ agent must have been negotiating his Q9M pound deal as he wrote this so he just phoned it in. A boring, padded anti-climax

Bk3 of last months #bookhaul is one of my favourite genres, SciFi. The 1st book in what‘s been called a new epic masterpiece, it tells the story of Hadrian, a hero from the galaxy spanning war against the alien Cielcin. But it‘s the REAL story. He was not a hero. He was not a monster. He wasn‘t even a soldier. On the wrong planet at the right time for the best reasons, he must fight a war he did not start for an Empire he does not love.
