Welcome to Litsy!

Over the last few days I kept falling asleep every time I picked this book up. I was getting super annoyed about it. Just found out I have COVID which explains a lot of recent events. It‘s a mild case, so all is well. Just sleeping a lot. 💤💤

I got 71% not too bad.

I‘ve read some great books this year. I think Brotherless Night will be hard to beat as best of year.

I owe a massive thank you to the Women‘s Prize for putting this book on my radar because I absolutely loved it. Sashi is a beautifully rendered character who wants to become a doctor and help others. When Sri Lanka explodes into civil war she tries to balance that need to help, the love she feels for her family and friends, and the violent changes taking place around her. Not a book I expected to have a hard time putting down but I really did.

I read some fantastic books in April. I might get one more in today for a total of 21 books.

“After the year of fire
vines rise up
through the rest of our lives
of smoke
of flame
of memory.
As if to say
We're still here.
As if to say
Remember us.”

Foggy morning after a night‘s rain.Tulips closed up for the night.Low 70s predicted but no sun.Wondering what makes them open?Temperature?Sun?
There is the rapid tapping of a woodpecker at work- she must be in one of the tall ancient Maples that line part of my driveway, because her tapping is LOUD.A chorus of birdsong has begun. A silent runner passes by.I love celebrating early mornings on my porch. #porchlife

This was appropriately grim & brutal. 😒

This is hard! 80s music is my jam but here‘s 3 that I truly 💜

1️⃣ Dancing With Myself by Billy Idol

2️⃣ Need You Tonight by INXS

3️⃣ Let‘s Go Crazy by Prince

Although really, any Prince, Hall & Oats, Whitney Houston, Tears for Fears, Bangles, Bon Jovi, Van Halen & Madonna hit would be right up there along with any sappy love song. 80s music rules!🎤🎶

Anyone want to play who hasn‘t?
