Welcome to Litsy!

Half way through the month this is my #bookspin the ones that aren‘t fully colored I‘m still working on! I have a hard time concentrating on one book so I like to jump around! No bingos yet!

This book went right over my head. Some chapters i understood and other ones were all over the place. Unfortunately at the end of the book my first thought was what was the point of this story? I so bad wanted to love this story. 😒

I fell in love with this cover! Im excited to start it. The set up of this book is totally different than anything i have read!

Spotted in a storefront on my walk for coffee this morning. Love my city #Chicago

In love with the cover of this future read for book club.

I love how this author use a popular Mexican game to introduce his chapters. I enjoyed this story even when it was sad.

Vacation day #3, book #3. Not a hit so far, (despite the amazing aesthetics of this book - thick, heavy pages and cool illustrations). Reminds me of The House on Mango Street because of vignette style, but not as lyrical or poetic, and way more wtf with casual references to disturbing subject matter.

Started this beautiful book last night. Perfect to go with my Trader Joe's chocolate passort! Anyone read this one? I haven't had good luck with Iowa Writers Workshop authors (no offense intended!)

And one more post for the morning. I had a fitful night after getting Super Sick *sob* and finished this in between. NOT a good choice if you're already stressed...it's about a girl who uses lotería cards to tell the story of her abusive family. It is a painful read...had I known just how tough it was going to be, I might have put it off for later, but I had to know what happened. Zambrano told the story in such a deft manner, I'm giving it a 🤘

When you choose a book because you like the title and cover and that it is inspired by a game you played as a kid 🤓
