Welcome to Litsy!

Great read based upon the book of the same name! I gave it to the federal way community centers little free library!

My mood is a roller coaster! 🎢

The current regime is a joke. But it‘s not the least bit funny. Except sometimes it is.

It‘s Spring! Time of renewal and new hope! Except…see above.

So…resist, grieve, carry on, and live another day.

Congratulations @dabbe on your achievement! You are one of the reasons I love Litsy!

Life hasn‘t been easy, but it gets less painful every day, and as I look at Saif, I know that love—in its essence, at its core—is the most bittersweet thing there is.

This was a beautiful and moving coming of age novel. It's absolute perfection. I highly recommend the audio read by Lin-Manuel Miranda. He truly makes the book come alive.

This was one of the most banned books in my state (Michigan). It's heartbreaking that there are people cannot see the value of this book.

(March and April were re-reads, so I went off-challenge.)

Interesting story, surprisingly a happier ending than expected. Good debut novel from this author.

Rereading during a hair appointment. I love Jane Austen retellings.

I had way more fun with the visual storytelling and turn-the-book text gimmick than with the fairly schmaltzy message and somewhat cliche/confused narrative. I think I would look for other Santat picture books for that pictures alone.

I‘ve never done competitive swimming but know I would have been terribly gracious to my momma‘s ingrown flotation device IYKYK

Plus my school didn‘t have a pool until I graduated. Bad luck as I do enjoy swimming & no longer have access

A great YA graphic with some bullying, social class conflict (rich dad/poor dad). I also covers the racism Black girls have had to deal with their own access to pool use

You see horrible, bullying teacher here.
