Welcome to Litsy!

Gosh this was a tough book to get through. It was trauma after trauma for Dixie. All the trigger warnings, so read with caution.

A pretty good Southern tale, thus far.

One of my last reads for May......

My haul from the library today.💕

Started off as a very slow read - I actually had to put it down for some time. When I picked it back up I realized that I had put it down right where it got good! Such a powerfully written book about the strength and resilience of a sexually abused child. A very dark topic portrayed in a slightly different light 👌🏽👌🏽

Trying this one next. 15 hours completed for #24in48!!

Don't let this sweet cover fool you; I think this book has every trigger warning possible. The ending was good but man it was hard to get there.

This book has a ton of triggers so beware, but I really liked it. I originally chose it because I had read that the author was from my area. I fell in love with the main character and wanted to be able to save her from all her troubles, but as a reader I was just along for the very bumpy ride.

Pet peeve - it's spelled y'all...not ya'll. Nails on a chalkboard!

So beautiful today! Nice walk with the pup done. Time to sit by a fire and window and read for a bit!

The start of my 2017 TBR pile...including a few stolen from my kids' Christmas loot. ;-) Lots more await on my TBR list! #funfridayphoto #tbr

This is the paragraph that grabbed me! If you are a fan of CeeCee (Saving CeeCee Honeycutt) or Starla ( Whistling Past The Graveyard) I highly recommend this one!

#HeadlessCovers Without going through all my shelves (I'd rather read) here is one of my headless books. Still on my TBR. #photoadaynov16

Don't let the sweet cover fool you... this is a dark coming of age tale... #allhallowsread

I ordered these books on three different days and they all came today. Book Mail is great! Has anyone read any of these?

I challenged myself to read something completely outside of my comfort zone. As a Southern girl I always balk when someone says I "have" to read a Southern book, but despite my discomfort I'm glad I took the journey. I saw too much of myself on these pages. From the POV of 11-year old Dixie comes a story that shows how dark a family can be, and how finding your way through the world isn't always pretty. Highly recommend if you are in a book club.

Doing some reading for work, and this old man is being very distracting. #PotatoCat owns my soul. ❤️ #petsoflitsy

Behold, my make shift reading nook! AKA the spot where all my urgent-must-read-TBR books are currently piled in an attempt to keep track of them.

Written in flowing, deceptively simple prose, the story of Dixie Dupree is one you won't forget quickly. Covering a wide range of issues: alcoholism, depression, physical abuse, rape, suicide and more. Dixie's voice makes all the difference, adding enough charm and goodness to balance out this dark, captivating debut novel.
