Welcome to Litsy!

Setting up my challenges for next year, and I‘ve decided to do 12 months of banned books instead of 12 months of classics for 2025. Send me your suggestions and I will choose the first 12 that I have not read. #ReadBannedBooks

“Their keeper Mr. Gramzay noticed the two penguins and thought to himself, 'They must be in love.“

This is a perfect book for teaching young children concepts of acceptance, inclusion, and love. A very beautiful book that would be amazing for young readers.

This is such a cute and inclusive book for young children. Some may find it controversial, however it shows such a cute meaning of love. Beautiful book that I forward to using in my classroom.

Sign ups open for anyone interested in this activity. hosted by @jadams89

There‘s been some interest in this group, so I‘ve created a Google form for book nominations. I‘ll try to have a poll for books open by Dec 1 with our first read starting in January. No pressure, jump in or out whenever you want.

If you‘ve already submitted the form, I have your responses.

Anybody interested in a banned books buddy read? Probably a chapter a day format. It just feels like a critical time to collect books.

(1731) It's a story of faithlessness and devotion that inspired two brilliant operas, either of them better than the book. Without music I expected to loathe both principals: her for her deception, him for his blind devotion. But both are more complex: Manon is an ambitious woman who seeks to rise by means available to her and Des Grieux is an unreliable narrator who may be a greater liar than Manon. Mixed feelings but more engaging than expected.
