Welcome to Litsy!

Did you do anything special this past week in honor of banned books?

Other than reading online articles and posts on the subject, I didn't really do much. I'm not reading any challenged books right now. But today at the library, I was helping my oldest find some more books to check out before the library closed for a reno, and I saw the Amulet series. I mentioned that I saw somewhere that someone had tried to ban it. His response? ⬇️

Look who i found wrapped up in his blankets reading!! 😍 And hes doing all the different voices for the characters!! This is like catching a picture of the Loch Ness Monster!!!

Bedheaded, bleary-eyed birthday girl. She turned 8 yesterday! I'm kind of overwhelmed.

Dad's influence is featured here. Both of our girls LOVE graphic novels and comics and that's being honored by this 7-book box set of one of her favorite series (note the red hair on the heroine)!

4⭐️First 3 books: Quite a few patrons have recommended this GN series to me in the Children's Dept. I decided to see what all the fuss what about: All three are very quick and a simple storyline. The storyline is a bit slow and did not become interesting until the 3rd book. I will finish the series- I just hope it gets a little more interesting. Books 2,3, and 4 of #DeweysReadathon completed ✔️

A couple of purchases I made today.

Graphic novels are always considered life savers to me when I need a quick read. This one was...okay. It's obviously middle grade, but it also is a graphic novel so it's really REALLY easy. Almost too easy. Not saying it's a bad story, just saying it was too easy for me.
