Welcome to Litsy!

This little YA book is a gut punch. The author wrote it in a unique way that any age can understand. Narrated by the ghost of the main character, he knows what happened to him but doesn‘t understand why. He meets someone who can see him, and some other unexpected historical persons; together, they try to make things right. I was reminded of The Lovely Bones, but this book is a far more powerful read. This book is banned…read it!!!

Just got the hardcover copy from Books A Million 😄

I've been quite busy this month with work... So I haven't read as much as I wanted to. But despite it all, it was quite a good reading month. The three books on the pic were excellent, I 100% recommend them.

Finished this on the last weekend before heading back to school. The story of a group of people from different backgrounds whose lives converge in unexpectedly tender and devastating ways. I enjoyed this read, but wasn‘t a fan of the ending. The writing was fresh and interesting, especially considering it was a debut.

4/5
Excellent novel about an isolated teen living in Mayotte. Written with different voices, we discover his story, from his early childhood to the present.
Trigger warning: this book is violent, but very realistic. That's what I liked about it. The different characters are well-built, the change of tone between characters is impressive.
Beautifully written, the author used her experience there to write this book.

I enjoyed reading Zetta‘s poems. She uses a variety of forms which makes this a highly dynamic read, and her work does an excellent job of driving home her point. These poems will catch your attention. The illustrations throughout were a nice touch. #Poetry

Sad and good.
