Welcome to Litsy!

Many. Those that stand out are those I got to listen to speak for a long time or share a meal or long conversation : Amy Lee-Tai , Jason Reynolds, Jazz Jennings, Yusef Salaam, Lindy West(had us in hysterics) I would love to meet Judy Blume ♥️.

Today, I‘m sharing a reading pillow I preordered from Book Beau. I chose this because I like Sunflowers. It‘s very soft. This will be perfect for me if I want to use it to take a nap or prop up a physical book I‘m reading. I think it could also be used to hold up my e reader or tablet.

This last week has seen the sunflowers bloom in my garden as summer begins and the beach beckons!! I‘m reading Esme Lennox which I haven‘t found as engaging as Hamnet was, but I‘m only half way through. Hope your getting some reading done during this busy time!

Managed to get some items knocked off my bucket list and watched a couple of movies. Also I totally forgot to add my word search points last week so I tacked them on to this week's total. Can't believe week two is already over!

A friend took up painting during one of Melbourne‘s many lockdowns - and I was the lucky recipient of this one - the lesser known (as it‘s in the hands of a private owner) version of VVG‘s sunflowers… maybe there are some advantages to having a December birthday… I think I‘ve found the perfect spot for it - but TBD!

#CuriousCovers Day 25: #Flowers. Winner of the Jane Addams Children‘s Book Award, the IRA Children‘s Book Award Notable Book, and Society of Illustrators Original Art Exhibition among other accolades, this is a remarkable story of resilience and the capacity of the human spirit (and sunflowers) to thrive amidst darkness and barbed wires, even in “a place where nothing beautiful grows.” My review: https://wp.me/pDlzr-7YO

Our local library now has themed book bundles for kids. You get 6 books related to a theme and we reserved the dragon bundle.

A little boy has a sunflower sword and changes the way the knights and dragons interact. No more fighting as a new way is paved. I loved this for our little guy - especially since he seems to think dinosaurs, dragons, pirates, etc. always need to be fighting. He loved the story as well!
