Welcome to Litsy!

The fun cover caught my eye, and it‘s a fun story too.

Sammy Keyes is a spunky girl facing a number of challenges - not the least of which is starting 7th grade! She lives with her grandmother, but shouldn‘t, as it‘s a senior housing facility. Limited on what she can do since she has to lay low, she checks out the neighborhood with binoculars. And that is when she sees a man riffling a purse in the apartment across the street, and he sees her…⬇️

I‘ve already disillusioned many of you with the Nancys + Harriets of the world on my podcast (sorry!), but — spoiler alert — modern mystery gal Sammy Keyes remains in my high esteem after the SSR treatment. She feels real to me (even as a 28-year-old) and has so much to teach about interpersonal relationships and the danger of snap judgments. Tune in to the latest episode for lots of Sammy talk + pop culture references. Link to listen in bio!

12 books for April... mostly kindle because nothing makes a dint in your physical tbr like reading a bunch of ebooks 🙄🙄☺️

I read this when it first came out and added it to my library order that was almost twenty years ago! I bought this copy for my daughter and I think I like the new cover art! That's not usually the case for me.

Pretty sure this boy has found a new favorite series!

Started this with the kids I nanny for once a week today. Already 50% through! One of the kids handed me this card and told me that he'd found a card that perfectly described me 😂😂😂

I can't wait to share these books with my future daughter. Who needs Nancy Drew when you have Sammy?
