Welcome to Litsy!

Is there anything Dennis Lehane writes that doesn‘t completely wreck you?

Gritty, hard, bleak and so sad with just a nugget of hope.

First finished of ‘24 and I won‘t be surprised if it‘s one of my top reads of the year. #prediction

I‘m sure y‘all can relate 🫢 Said #libraryhaul incoming. Tagged book is a blame-it-on @LibrarianRyan 😜 check out their #booktok. Nice little series of #bannedbooks on their page.

4 ⭐ I was trying to figure out what reason this book could possibility be one of the 100 most banned books from 1990-2000. I thought maybe the crazy pictures that seem a little “druggy”. But apparently it was banned for spreading the occult and making witches seem harmless, nice, and fun. My main thought was that the illustrator was a friend of Salvador Dali. It doesn‘t bother me that this is about a witch.

This book was Awesome. A bunch of great children‘s authors were given the same question: Why did the chicken cross the road” and then asked to visually give us their answer. My favorite is of course David Catrow, but Mo Willems comes in a close second.
