Welcome to Litsy!

This was a great novel in verse. Poems are aligned left and right along with other spacing to highlight aspects of the story. It has wonderful literary references, figurative language, and football details. It‘s all wrapped up in the story of Kareem figuring out his own way as a Syrian American. It‘s set in 2016 & 2017 with the executive order banning international travel from Syria and other countries directly impacting Kareem‘s family.

What a beautiful book so far 🌼🌸

Very niche post but I never know exactly how many Littens who follow me are also in San Antonio. 👀 This book club is just now trying to get off the ground. I hope it works out because I need more book nerds in my life offline 😄 This was taken from IG https://www.instagram.com/p/DOb8l0RDmTh/?igsh=cDRxODJvejhuMDQ5

PS it‘s the Folklores on N. New Braunfels ☕️ 🕸️

Bad news days call for new, used books for the teens on tweens on my street. America's in trouble, but I can share books. #lfl #read #middlegrade #ya

Sometimes you just need to enjoy a book with your supper. I‘m already in the middle of several books, but I picked up this one that came off my holds list. It‘s a novel in verse about a middle school Syrian American boy who wants to be on the school football team. It‘s full of football and bookish references.

I found the way this all worked out a bit... obvious? Predictable? But it was satisfying to get there, and I do enjoy Lee Knox Ostertag's art.

Such a fun and strange (in a good way) graphic novel!

The premise is very cool. It‘s about a soon to be 13 year old girl who starts getting nightmares of her impending doom filled birthday (she‘s born on 4/4, which is considered unlucky in Chinese culture). These dreams somehow end up in the comic she is creating.
