Welcome to Litsy!

Library pickup today - a high school Twelfth Night retelling graphic novel.

“A flag to unite, a flag to inspire.”

“The inspiring story behind a flag that symbolizes love, hope, and pride.“

This inspiring picture book tells the story of Harvey Milk, the first openly gay elected official, and the creation of the rainbow flag as a symbol of hope and equality. It‘s a celebration of courage, unity, and the fight for LGBTQ+ rights.

I know we usually rely on @TheBookHippie for Yiddish lessons but this word came up in my book twice already and I had to look it up! I like the positive connotation behind it

Also, I splurged and bought this hardcover special edition because LOOK at the gorgeous endpaper art!! 😍🌊😍

I finished this book ages ago but haven't been able to find words to review it. I was so looking forward to it and it did not disappoint! I devoured the audiobook and have been rereading the print book here and there when I miss the characters. Just such a decadent story with lust & pining, wanderlust & cuisine, and a great exploration of sexuality & gender. I adore these two bisexual disasters 💖

13 year old Lacey‘s world turns upside down when the satanic panic of the 90s hits her hometown, taking her parents and their rural daycare down with it. Not only are her parents sent to jail, but her and her sister Eclair‘s lives are forever changed. Fast forward, 10+ years and Lacey‘s adult life gets thrown back into the limelight - shocking everyone. Super enjoyed this thriller - read most of it on the beach!

This is a fun cozy fantasy series and I enjoyed spending time with Reyna, Kianthe, and their griffins. There‘s plenty of adventure, painful puns, a bit of a body count, and of course, pirates. It took awhile to really get going, but overall it was enjoyable. I‘m making allowances for the pacing to simply be a personal problem focusing thanks to the dumpster fire of life right now.
