Welcome to Litsy!

This is a hell of an intense book. The protagonist, Nila - as she likes to be known, not by her full first name, Nilab - is grieving her mother and uncomfortable with her Afghan identity in a city where racist attacks and neo-Nazis are on the rise, and she seeks solace/oblivion in the hedonism of the Berlin techno scene.

I was influenced into buying the TikTok bookshelf. I love it! I‘m thankful my husband helped me (read: did it himself) put it together because it was complex. Thinking about getting another….its so nice that it doesn‘t have to go against a wall.

Library reservation came in early

51/100 for today's #tlt thanks for the tag @dabbe !
That was ALot of Jansson and Dahl! My fav are in the collage, but i have to admit Dahls books have influenced my sense of humor bunches, for good or bad. And now I'm also disappointed in Gaiman. So 😩
I am unsure about the inclusion of LoTR as a children's book? Plus my personal pref would have been for Five Children and It for Nesbit, and where's Secret Garden? Tagged looks interesting!

Sunday morning reading buddy

“I am the small green pea, you are the tender pod, hold me.“

This book evokes calm and gentle feelings. It is soothing and calming and this makes it a beautiful read for students. This story could be added to morning meeting or even a relaxation routine to help students unwind!

Pea Pod Lullaby then by Glenda Millard, a cute children's book that uses soothing and calm rhythms with a beautiful story about a mother‘s love for her child. The narrative and plot takes readers through a fun journey in a garden that is filled with vibrant and gorgeous imagery and gentle, moving text that evokes a calming atmosphere.
