Welcome to Litsy!

The Belle of the Ball and Land of the Sweet, Home of the Brave were two of my favorite stories from this anthology. #diversebooksclub #ya #historicalfiction

I love readathons! Probably won‘t make it to 25 but it will be fun to make some progress on my current reads! Crenshaw is this month‘s middle grade pick for #diversebooksclub and I need to start #theodysseybuddyread 📚

This is a middle grade book in verse about three scientists: Maria Sibylla Merian, Mary Anning, and Maria Mitchell. I would recommend it to readers of all ages!

If you‘ve been adopted or you are an adoptive parent, this is a book for you. I read this as part of the Diverse Books Club with our theme this month being adoption. The story of Asha, born in India, is told from the perspectives of her biological parents, adoptive parents, and herself. It spans 25 years and is such a tender-hearted telling of the journey of adoption. (Authentic Indian scarf!) #diversebooksclub

-Told in alternating points of view by members of 2 families
-Set in India and the US
-International marriage and adoption
I‘m almost halfway finished with my second book of the year and this month‘s pick for #diversebooksclub 📚

Five books I‘m looking forward to reading in January 2018! Happy new year🥂

This week: I read two selections for November‘s #diversebooksclub on Instagram. Enjoyed both of them but Ginny Moon was especially interesting. The other picture is from this morning‘s 5k run for men‘s health!

While I wait for 5 pm to open my #theretellingbookswap package, I'm reading this lovely middle grade novel in verse for #Bookstagram's #DiverseBooksClub. The book is about a family's flight from Vietnam during the War and this passage made me pause.

Has anyone else joined the #diversebooksclub on GR (they're also on IG)? I'm really looking forward to #reading all of this month's selections and joining into the discussion. #diversebooks #weneeddiversebooks
