Welcome to Litsy!

While this uplifting,gem of a novel is about the effect of books on people,mostly it is about the friendship that blossoms between Carl, an elderly book walker book walker a Schascha, a precocious 10-year-old girl. Together, they walk the streets at night to deliver books curated by Carl to shut-ins.Themes include the magic of reading,the power books to unite people & form friendships, & the power of books to create community.#10BeforetheEnd

Just starting this one. I love the cover 😍

I read Amazing Grace Adams a little while ago and it was a low pick for me, although it has stuck in my head so obviously memorable! I‘ve been looking forward to reading this. #10beforetheend

I‘m joining all the fun things late!

My December #bookspin and #doublespin picks! They‘ve both been on my shelf for a long time…hoping I can get to them after I finish the #10BeforeTheEnd challenge!

Thank you for hosting @TheAromaofBooks 🎄

Much to like about this novel about three sisters dealing with the grief over the death of a fourth sister. Good character development and I appreciated all of the many issues brought up in the story. (Surprisingly this was the second book in a row that I‘ve read with boxing being a plot point.) Unfortunately I have a book hangover from my previous read so this book was a low pick for me.

Yesterday, I went with my less-than enthusiastic SO to a pub-type quiz about #Italy. We realised there that it was all done on mobile phones, & ours were too old for it. We teamed up with someone we knew with the right gear & came 3rd🎉😁 We could have been 1st or 2nd if not for some technical issues... We received a gift voucher for a local Italian deli, and we got to eat some delicious vegetarian appetizers.
