Welcome to Litsy!

Last night was one of our favourite school events of the year! Every year, they host a Snuggle Up and Read evening. Everyone comes to the school in their pajamas, and there are all sorts of literacy focused events throughout the school. It's the most cozy form of chaos, and the kids LOVE it!

5⭐ A sequel to The Marrow Thieves. I don't know if there will be more in the series because the author didn't plan it that way but wrote more when requested by her publisher. But I will read. Dystopian, Indigenous Peoples, young adult.

In which Chast recounts her dreams. That's it. There's no through line or point to any of it. Tedious and self indulgent.

1. What don‘t I daydream about?! 😂 travel, conversations, jobs, fictional worlds, places I‘d rather be at that moment, places to live, dream house, romance, forests, oceans, adventures, story ideas, memories, song lyrics — my brain is strange & mysterious and usually always somewhere else.

2. All of them.

I love Roz Chast and her off-the-wall humorous New Yorker cartoons. This collection was just okay for me, mostly because I‘m not particularly fond of listening to descriptions of dreams. But some funny ones for sure.

I love Roz Chast‘s cartoons and this collection, on the theme of dreams, gave me some chuckles, but it‘s rather slight as far as content goes. It did make me want to revisit my own dream journals. I‘m glad I borrowed this from the library rather than buying it. #Comics

Dreams come out of my brain. As I sleep, I am creating them. So why, as they unfold, am I always so surprised?!??

something different . . . on the weird side

Roz Chast is an original. Her latest is a dream diary which makes me want to start my own because I have quite the unusual dreams myself! Listening to other people‘s dreams can be tedious, so I‘m glad it wasn‘t any longer. While this wasn‘t life-changing, I found it entertaining and a pleasant enough little graphic novel to flip through. 💭
