Welcome to Litsy!

What I love about Litsy are the friendships. I didn‘t really have any “book friends” IRL…and then found Litsy. I love the community, the challenges, the swaps, my penpals and especially the people who like to read what I do and all the wonderful reviews and suggestions of what to read.

Tha k you so much for the giveaway @CSeydel

Sweet story about finding joy in hard circumstances with lovely imagery of the Welsh countryside. Not as complete of a story as my all time favorite St. John, Treasures of the Snow, but nonetheless a lovely spring read.

Such a cute graphic novel. Wonderful illustrations and a great story.

Enjoy!

One of my favorite middle grade novels was Counting by 7's by Holly Goldberg Sloan. This one was equally as sweet and hopeful. A good read for any kid who feels different or has issues in their life well out of their control.

They told us in August that our job was going to be outsourced overseas, so I'm in the middle of looking for a new job. I'm not sure how much reading I'll be able to do this month, but I'm going to try.

It has two kittens.

It‘s Jesusy. Which for all intents & purposes is an adjective.

Took me a second to realize this was a feature but I feel like the cool kids now! #januaryreads

#KindredSpiritsBuddyRead - House of Dreams Discussion - 4/3!

I completely forgot I added a short story to our House of Dreams read! Captain Jim and his life-book are based on LMM‘s story, “The Life-Book of Uncle Jesse.” Here‘s a link to the story:
https://www.online-literature.com/lucy_montgomery/1909-1922/21/

It reads like a preliminary sketch that LMM fleshed out in House of Dreams. If you have a chance to read it, please share your thoughts!

Published in 2008, the info is so outdated that there is no mention of iPhones. However, it was interesting to skim through as a hindsight read.

7/80
