Welcome to Litsy!

I remember reading this book years ago, and the original cover with the red mittens and the snow just stuck in my head!

#SundayFunday Have a safe and warm day, and don‘t forget to tag me in your posts!

Dana‘s cousin, Sally, moves to #SweetValley & is desperate to finally have the home she‘s always wanted since her mom abandoned her at age 4 after remarrying. Dana wants Sally to keep her real age (she had to repeat a grade from shuffling through foster homes) & her past a secret while her older brother resents her before she even arrives! Sally confides in Liz & eventually wins her spot in their hearts. Also Prince Albert joins the Wakefields!

#Goodreads Challenge met. This will give me 7 rows of 9 squares for my #2025readingblanket. Now I need to read either 3, 5, 7, 9, 13, or 17 (😹) more by the end of the new year for my #bookblanket to be even rows of 9 or 10 or have rows with 4 end squares that would have the year crocheted on them. Considering I can never time out my dishes to come out at the same time when cooking this should be interesting. 😜😁 3 or 5 seem doable.

I wanted to love this one, but it never pulled me in as completely as I'd hoped. It felt like the action was just around the corner and something was always just about to happen. I enjoyed the wrold building and it's obviously very inspired by Narnia, but it was very slow. I still enjoyed it, but not enough to dive into the next book. I think this one would be a better fit for Middle Grade, which it's geared towards.

This is one of my favorites! Jessica has an identity crisis & is fed up with being mistaken for Liz. So she flatters Lila out of her Parisian wardrobe & dyes her hair black & speaking with a vague accent, causing quite the stir! Liz is miserable & feels like she lost her best friend & then loses her diary on top of it! Liz & Jeffrey fight too (Liz thinks he likes Jess & her new look more than her), but lands a mall modeling job that Jess wanted!

Several friends have sent this to me saying they‘d chose me.

I feel so honored. 🫢

Going way back in my reading life for this one

Pi Beta Alpha is accepting new pledges (again!) & while Jessica‘s excited for Amy Sutton to join, Sandra Bacon is less excited for her best friend, Jean West to join. Though the two are as close as sisters, lately Sandra feels like Jean is always showing her up & she likes having the sorority as just hers… so while she does nominate her, she then does everything she can to sabotage her pledge tasks! Jean manages to find love & friendship!
