Welcome to Litsy!

I was tempted, except nobody but me would see them under my pant legs. 😜

A humorous, clever and satirical story about book censorship. I enjoyed all the references to Orwell's 1984 and other banned books.

Books about the future can be really fun and scary, all at the same time. This poor schlub, whose job is making sure allowed books reflect the views of the current government, is caught in a quandary when he starts to fall in love with the stories that are banned. Was never sure where this book was going, but it felt timely and sometimes realistic.

Only two books finished this last week. While I‘m enjoying being back in the office it is cutting into my reading time. I enjoyed the tagged book. A very timely fairytale.

I did not expect that ending! A quick moving look at the effects of censorship and attempts to control a population‘s thoughts and feelings. Important reading especially considering the state of the world. Dis I love it as much as everyone else seems to? No. #tob25

This was a read. While I am not giving it 5 paws this will stick with me for a long while. Also Poirot said it passed inspection.

A short book in translation about book censorship. It gets a pick from me, but I‘m glad it was short because it‘s all just been a lot lately.

I guess if all I‘m up for is books about cats solving mysteries I shouldn‘t be reading #TOB short list titles 😂

On to George!

The alternative is resistance, but you‘re too busy reading novels.

The first chapter the first two paragraphs.

I really enjoyed this one! A translated work from Kuwait that is for book lovers. A great book for now with the book banning that is happening everyday. I love how Al-Essa weaves classics through the story, and how she shows what books can do for a person.
This was a super quick read that I tackled in 24 hours, highly readable and fun.
