I finished some great books in January. If this one isn‘t on your radar it should be. I thought it was fantastic.

I recently stumbled across this author and have now read several of her books.
Goodreads blurb:
Everyone has secrets, and Rachel Holloway is no exception. She‘s worked hard to keep the past where it belongs: dead and buried. And so far, she‘s been very successful.
But now the small newspaper where she works wants to produce a podcast on a cold case: the disappearance twelve years ago of little Molly Forster.

I had my 6th graders draw groundhogs in their sketchbook today for #groundhogday and then I added a fun filter. 👩🏼‍🎨

1. I am a loyal library girl. I typically only buy books that I read and loved. I do stalk the library for new releases though.
2. None currently. Samantha Irby and Riley Sager are auto buy authors for me though.

This is my January Wrap Up. I have been mostly focusing on my Netgalley backlog but there were a few others I couldn‘t resist. All of these were audiobook except one-I finding that is what I can focus on best right now.

Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat on a bus and sparked a boycott that changed America. Harriet Tubman helped more than three hundred slaves escape the South on the Underground Railroad. Shirley Chisholm became the first black woman elected to the U.S. House of Representatives.

#nationalfreedomday #loveprevails

I was sold when the blurb compared this book to a cross between The Blair Witch Project and Midsommar. This is a story of a documentary filmmaker traveling to the secluded village where her grandmother grew up and the everyone disappeared with no explanation. I found the setting the be creepy and was hooked from the beginning. There were a lot of wonderfully eerie elements but there were also sad and gut wrenching parts that were hard to read.

I am not a big twitter user but Stephen King is always fantastic!

I have been completely absent from this wonderful app for months. I know I am not alone in saying and feeling this way but life has been hard. 2020 was a bitch and 2021 isn‘t looking that great so far. Anyway I missed my 3 year Litsy anniversary-so sad. I am gonna try to get back to my happy place here with you wonderful people. So much love and thanks to
@TheSpineView for aways tagging and making me feel loved and missed when I wasn‘t around.

Judy this was such a perfect package!!! I wanted to open it before things got busy this evening. This was one of my favorite books this year and I desperately wanted it for my little library. Thanks so much for the candy, beautiful cards and bookmarks. You are awesome. Wishing you a wonderful holiday season!

Chelle thanks for hosting this lovely swap.

This amazing piece of art was created for me by Dana @DoonTheGoon and it is so beautiful, magical, and powerful. I hate to get sappy but for real, life has been hard lately and this is a wonderful reminder of the good in the world. Dana thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Jenni and Rachel thank you for hosting and making sure I was included even though I haven‘t been very present lately. You are all wonderful women.

Oh my goodness Dana! You spoiled me rotten! The books, crystal bath bomb, beautiful tarot deck, pin, handmade mask, crystals, and candle-just wow! It is all so wonderful, thoughtful and kind. You absolutely brightened my month! That amazing Gemini art is getting a separate post because it so deserves it. Thanks so very much Dana. You went above and beyond and I appreciate more than I can say.

Sharing books by black authors during the month of July. I will add the synopsis from Goodreads below and in the comments.
In the style of New York Times bestsellers You Can‘t Touch My Hair, Bad Feminist, and I‘m Judging You, a timely collection of alternately hysterical and soul‑searching essays about what it is like to grow up as a creative, sensitive black man in a world that constantly tries to deride and diminish your humanity.⬇️

Hey all! I can‘t believe we are almost at the end of July! If you joined me this month for #ReadBlackAuthors I would love to get your address-if you are comfortable sharing it. I am tagging the people that originally showed up so if I missed you please let me know 🖤
Email- iheartlitsy@Gmail.com

I know this is so true for me.

With few other options, African-American classical musician Gethsemane Brown accepts a less-than-ideal position turning a group of rowdy schoolboys into an award-winning orchestra. Stranded without luggage or money in the Irish countryside, she figures any job is better than none. ⬇️

1. Oh that is a hard one. I would love to be named after a literary character but I don‘t really know which one. I mean Jo is in Little Women but that isn‘t why I was named Jo.
2. We have a cat named Frankenstein and a dog named Church from Pet Sematary.
