Welcome to Litsy!

After a quiet holiday, it was quite the week back at work. But I did manage to finish this beautiful novel. I love the way Sarah Moss‘ stories have so many subtle layers. So many pieces come together to make the characters and their experiences much more complex and human. My daughter is an aspiring professional dancer and so the descriptions of Lydia and her dancer friends touched my heart. We are so lucky to have Sarah Moss. 💕

Started this one, and felt, Wow, this seems so familiar, turns out I watched it a year ago! HA!!! #BookToScreen

Soft pick - I enjoyed this book set in Paris during the late 1800's about two sisters finding their way after their fathers death. It was a good look into the time period and what young girls had to do to survive but also how certain choices could impact their lives. I did find I wanted to put the book down at times in the beginning but I'm glad I finished. The way the author intertwined the story with some boy criminals at the time was well done.

#DashingThruDecember Day 22: This #Nutcracker board book is a delight. This dance primer is not only a celebration of classic ballet, it also highlights the many colours, the diversity of dance and its infinite variations. My review: https://wp.me/pDlzr-j34

This is a great rendition of The Nutcracker by Lola #DashingThruDecember Nutcracker
