Welcome to Litsy!

Have you ever been in a funk and not realized it? That's how I felt tonight when I sat down to write some letters! It felt great and I realized how long it has been since I've replied to my Litsylove letters. @TheLudicReader and @dabbe your letters will be on the way tomorrow ♡. I'll keep working away until I am caught up- looking forward to reaching out to everyone ♡.

#SummerSouls Day 4: Lines in the #Sand is Unlike other books on war and peace, this collection contains letters, illustrations, folk tales, animal tales, short stories, fragments from longer novels, and most of all poetry. My full review here: https://wp.me/pDlzr-8eY

1. I don't picnic much; usually more a quick stop while hiking or cooking while camping. You can never go wrong with a hoagie/sub and chips/popcorn. I'm partial to beer, but a Riesling would be nice.

2. Something light and fun, maybe a collection of short stories or something with short chapters, that would be easy to put down and enjoy the breeze.

Thanks for the tag, @wildalaskabibliophile

A lovey vintage cookery book for children.

Yeah, this was written for those like me, the childlike!

Even as a kidult, this is still a wonderful read (reread) for me. Truly a magical story with beautiful illustrations.

This middle grade mystery was an utter delight from start to finish! Drew is a complex, lovable character. She is 12 and is a big true crime nerd, a cross between Harriet the Spy and Nancy Drew. The plot follows Drew as she chases down a cyberbully while trying to hide the fact that her mom has run off with her school‘s guidance counsellor. Ugh, her mom is the worst! Great integration of sexual/romantic orientation and disability representation!

I just want to give all these tweens fighting against a bully a big hug! This is really well done and so cute. I haven't read a middle grade book in a while and this is a great example of one!

And of course I couldn‘t pass this up for $3! We‘ve read through his Cars 5 minute stories book too many times- mama needs new material 😂

My other new find. Really looking forward to this read
