Welcome to Litsy!

Saedi masterfully depicts the delicate balance between being an American teenager and an undocumented immigrant. Visit https://wowlit.org/on-line-publications/review/xii-1/3/ for our full review, including books it will pair with!

We have made a lot of changes in recent years to move our family away from Tech dependence in centrality. This book very practical advice on how to do that in all areas of life, and most importantly, it gives the heart and why underneath it all. It‘s not about a fear of some thing, but a desire not to miss and gain the greatest things.

If you are looking for me, you‘ll find me here (until further notice).

Thank you @Eggs for the #WondrousWednesday tag! 🤗

1️⃣ I can‘t pick just one! Elf, The Holiday, Love Actually, The Family Stone & A Christmas Story are probably my top 5.🎄

2️⃣ … a hippopotamus 🦛 followed by …to be on a hit list! Hmm…🤔😆

3️⃣ I have a very old red book from childhood that has the tagged story in it. The Peterkins are “quirky” & their “problem-solving” makes me laugh so I reread it & some of the other stories most years. 📕⬇️

George was a McDreamy, and Lizzie was something shy of a nightmare. I should have been done with her since George deserved better. But something about Lizzie intrigued me, and I wanted her to understand the love in her life. The audio was available so I experienced both audio and print. It gave me Ann Patchett vibes, and I‘m not sure if it was the writing or the author‘s own narration of the story.

This is the sound of you breathing. This is the sound of the engine.
Inside this small space, the air recirculates. It always feels cold. Outside You are rushing through the air so fast. There is always this rushing.
Stay here. Stay calm. Stay still.
Open your eyes.
Do you see me?
You won't want to see me, but you will.

This was a light read that serenaded me through all my driving, chores, and activities today. Photojournalist Madison has 3 grown children, no current spouse/lover, so at a critical juncture of late middle age, she takes an extended trip to visit family and friends…
