Welcome to Litsy!

Insightful

I noticed that this excellent ebook is currently on sale for $2 on Amazon. I highly recommend it, especially if you're interested in history, diverse perspectives, and the fight for equality.

Carlotta Walls LaNier recently spoke at the library I work for about her experiences as one of nine Black students who integrated into Central High School in the 50s. Her book does an amazing job conveying in great detail the difficult fight she and her companions faced. It's a painful, heartbreaking, and powerful read that puts into perspective events that weren't all that long ago. #BlackHistory #ColoradoLocal

Carlotta is in elementary school when she is called the n-word on a bus in segregated Little Rock, Arkansas. This is her mother‘s advice.

I think it‘s good advice for us all.

#bookmarks are usually scrap papers or post it tabs. But to my surprise, two books I'm currently reading have the same Book Soup Bookstore bookmarks in them. For a few months my husband was working right next door so I got a lot of new books and a lots of bookstore swag. #booktober #day4

I'm trudging along. Can't co-host a book club without reading the book! #bookishangstbookclub

I'm super sick reading buddies. Consuming so much soup. And I still haven't finished this book. I know it picks up, I just can't seem to get that far. Toddler's nap is happening soon, maybe I can get a few pages done.

It's taken me months to get through the first few chapters. My bestie started reading it at the same time and has gotten a little farther, letting me know it's worth reading. I'm trudging along.
