Welcome to Litsy!

I have been reading her Princes of Sin series, which is tangentially related, so aside from the fact that I have kind of spoilered myself & I‘m trying to reckon the Princes I know… I liked it, the worldbuilding is good, Emilia‘s depiction of grief was so visceral, Wrath… I‘m not sure about what‘s going on with his motives here -but 🥵. Too much happens at the end, &things that seemed like a big deal fizzled, plenty for the next 2 books to resolve.

This is a wintery novella that left me shaking my head🤦‍♀️A meteorologist predicts the storm of the century but no one will believe her. She needs data but her equipment is broken. She asks the local science teacher to help fix her computer. But as it starts to snow…they get distracted with each other. Forget about the incoming storm let‘s get it on! So ridiculous.

I really enjoyed this #AtoZReadathon challenge, just 4 away from a full set! I'll tag my reads in the comments. It's been a great month with some fantastic reads. Thank you for hosting @Texreader

When I‘ve finished the tagged book I‘m jumping back into the picks by @CSeydel for #trappedinaspookyhouse since I‘ll be trapped in my car for hours. They‘ll also work for #letterA and #letterK for #halloweenatoz

Di Franco writes a narrative that is empowering for kids with the message that everyone is different but everyone knows how connected we are. I loved the illustrations! #PictureBook #BBRC #LetterK

I would have called this book “The Osage Genocide,” because so many more were killed than justice addressed at the time. When oil was discovered under the reservation & the Osage became extraordinarily wealthy, laws were passed that treated the Native Americans as incapable of handling their own affairs. White men became their guardians, pocketing their overpriced fees & committing untold corruption. But that wasn‘t enough—the white men wanted ⬇️

Based on the true Knit In event in NYC in 1918, this story follows a young boy who is determined to beat the girls at knitting projects for soldiers in WWI. The end shares the facts about the knitting movement in the US and the real Knit In event. I had no clue about this, so I learned a lot! #BBRC #PictureBook #LetterK
