This beautifully written novel was hopeful and bittersweet and sad, with realistically drawn characters behaving in believable ways. It felt like a true depiction of the immigrant experience, torn between two worlds, and leaving your family behind, knowing you may never see them again. It made me think about my own immigrant ancestors, wondering what their experience was like.

Looking forward to our #LiteraryCrew discussion, @Librarybelle 😃

A fascinating fictional imagining of a “post rapture” world. How do those left behind react to the grief, loss, and utter confusion? Among those left behind, which relationships survive? Which crumble? Great reading.

Another great #LiteraryCrew selection. @Librarybelle

Librarybelle Yay!! 3w

Just posting a quick hi to Litsy members. 🙋‍♀️ I joined here after looking for a laid-back and fun reading platform. Knowing most reading challenges begin with the New Year, December seemed like a good month to start.

About me: I volunteer at an animal shelter and only work part-time. My reading preferences vary depending on my interests or mood but I often seek out nonfiction, classics, fantasy or HF books. I also enjoy music and hiking.

Dilara Hello and welcome to Litsy! 💐 😃 3w

The app is more or less defuncted now. Some of the accounts listed on the page aren't active, but @LitsyEvents is a good one to follow. ✌

@BarkingMadRead - I'll definitely be checking out #hashtagbrigade. The new TV adaptation of The Count of Monte Cristo is on my radar so it would be fun to read the book with a group. 🤗

TimEW @do-re-mi Another welcomed reader. I found Litsy earlier this year. I also wanted to find a laid back place to find new to me books to read. I do post books I have finished reading or listening to, sometimes I might add a few words about the book I have read. Goodreads was just too intense for my taste, and posts were way too long. This place is much better. Welcome again. 😊🙏 2w
Texreader @TimEW Oh!! Your post makes me so happy! I‘m so glad Litsy is a good fit for you! 2w
julesG Welcome to Litsy! 2w
do-re-mi @julesG Thank you. 🌞
@TimEW Thanks for your comment and I understand where you are coming from. 🙂 Personally, I'm not into writing lengthy book reviews anymore and I don't do well with reading challenges that have a bunch of rules.

julieclair So glad you found Litsy! I think it‘s the best place on the internet. I agree with the recommendation to follow @LitsyEvents and check it regularly to see what‘s going on. There‘s a lot! 😀 1w
julieclair Also, #BookedInTime, hosted by @Cuilin , is an excellent low-key challenge for historical fiction. #LiteraryCrew, hosted by @Librarybelle , also reads a lot of HF. 1w
do-re-mi @julieclair Thanks for stopping by and the suggestions. I agree that @LitsyEvents is one of the best things to follow here. So helpful. 👍 🙂 🌞 1w

A beautifully written coming of age tale of a quiet young woman who leaves Ireland for America. WE follow her as she navigates this new life, creating something of her own. As she settles in, news brings her back to Ireland but with a new found confidence but questions about whether she‘ll return or not. This was a slow burn, but ended up finding this very engaging. Read for #literarycrew

Librarybelle Yay! So glad you liked this! 3w

reposting for @Librarybelle

I‘m happy to share next year‘s #LiteraryCrew ‘s reading list! Roughly 20 Littens voted on the list of titles, which is an amazing number.

The clear top votes went to Passing and Radar Girls. Passing technically had the most votes, but I think it‘s a good book to read for Black History Month.

If you would like to be included on the tag list, please let me know! All are welcome! #BuddyRead
