Welcome to Litsy!

Today after a year of library abstinence whilst I tried to clear my TBR shelves I finally allowed myself to go wild in the aisles once more. My littlest and I went after school and up picked up whatever took our fancy (the kids have been allowed to borrow books this year, I‘m not a monster). Apart from Exiles these books are all completely new to me. It felt so good!! And I‘m excited to dive in and see if they are as good as they look.

Her writing flows over you like water, and she led such an interesting life. I‘d like to dive into the next installment, but I still have three physical library books I need to finish soon. One of them is from another series that‘s also nearing the end, so I‘ll keep pausing the García Saenz for now. #serieslove2025

I read a number of 5-star books in January, including all 3 books in this series at the time (I‘ve since read the 4th book that was published this year), which were all 5-stars. So I‘ll give the top January book to the first in the series. So good. #12booksof2024 @Andrew65

I love this series. Sadly it‘s the last in this series and it is very personal to the author, who was born in #Ghana. As in real life, the book involves the attempt to pass a law making homosexuality a crime. The law is being pushed by an American “Christian” group promoting family values. But the opposition starts dying horrible deaths, prompting private detectives (Emma Djan et al) to infiltrate some scary institutions. An excellent new book. ⬇️

“ these marks were good for my parents, we are happy and proud that I was born,” she continues. “I am likewise proud to wear them. Most Ghanaian parents don‘t celebrate them this way anymore, but it was once an important tradition.”

I would use this book in my classroom to talk about diversity and different cultures.

Ok having stopped reading two books, I‘ve chosen this replacement, brand new. I love this author and this series. Sadly it‘s the last in the series, all of which are set in #Ghana
