Welcome to Litsy!

#AyupAugust
At 13, 15, 16 & 17, it‘s #TooMuchTooYoung for Kyra, Sara & Rachel, Twig & Hanna to be forced into a life of polygamy & marriage to men old enough to be their fathers or even grandfathers. All 4 of these novels from my “read” stack are set within religious sects & cults where young girls are abused & treated as chattel.

“Her name was Sally Lockhart; and within fifteen minutes, she was going to kill a man.”

When her father is drowned, 16-year old Sally Lockhart is left to fend for herself, an orphan and alone in foggy Victorian London. In the first book, she is embroiled in a life-threatening mystery as she tries to discover the truth of her father‘s death.

“High School. Society‘s bright idea to put all their aggressive, naive youth into one environment to torment and emotionally scar each other for life.”

My favorite American Girl: American Revolution time period and she rides a horse! I own this doll and horse, Penny, and all six original books (shown).

By only gripe, reading them as an adult, is ten years old is (too much) too young to be adventuring without supervision and making childish rash decisions without thinking about consequences.

I felt lucky to be doing well in school, let alone saving the country.

I‘m probably not alone in saying that Anne here went through #toomuchtooyoung #ayupaugust

It‘s The Specials for me 😁

The main character of the tagged book was married at 17 to a man twice her age. It wasn‘t a good experience for either of them. I think she did #TooMuchTooYoung

#AyUpAugust #Day12 #TooMuchTooYoung Most of the seaman on the Indianapolis when she went down were just boys. A large majority were 21 & under, quite a few had lied about their age and were only 17. The hell they went through, a torpedoed ship, injured friends, 5 days in the water with no food, no drinking water & sharks was an experience that the survivors still have nightmares about 70yrs later. Too much horror on too young shoulders.

I remember reading this for school and I thought Pip was so spoilt but now I think maybe it was just #toomuchtooyoung 🤷‍♀️ #ayupaugust

#AyUpAugust Most of Hollywood‘s young celebrities seem to be a case for #TooMuchTooYoung and( Too Soon) 😬Fame is a double edged sword 😔Out of all the high profile over dose cases, something about River Phoenix dying so visibly and publicly outside on the streets of Hollywood just broke my heart💔This book is on my #TBR
