Welcome to Litsy!

Ta-Nehisi Coates has such a beautiful way with words. Getting lost in his view of the world opens my mind and my heart and gives me hope, which is something that is hard to find in our current world.

I will definitely be purchasing myself a copy of this one so that I can revisit it.

New #bookmail! I needed children‘s books for a couple of reading challenges and these will work perfectly. 🥰

And here's the book haul! I feel like only 9 books across 5 different book stores demonstrates an impressive level of self-control 🤷‍♀️. I'm excited to dive into these - even as my tbr shelves are currently giving me the side eye 😂 😒

4 Stars • Translated from the Hebrew by Stuart Schoffman • "The Tunnel" by A.B. Yehoshua is about Zvi Luria, a retired engineer, obsessed with an unfinished tunnel in Jerusalem. It explores themes of dementia, identity, and the connection between personal and national history in modern Israel.

Bedtime reading. Good-night.

Today, this hits harder.

First encounter with Coates‘ writing and now I can‘t wait to read his backlist.

The 3 essays in this book were chock-full of information about the author‘s impressions during his travels and how history has a way of repeating itself throughout different cultures.

Loved!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I've missed being part of this amazing community. Life has kept me from being as active here as I once was. I'm hoping this most recent book haul will help me get out of my reading slump, too.

Happy Reading Everyone! 💚
