Welcome to Litsy!

Tomato Rodriguez hops on her motorcycle and embarks on the ultimate sea-to-shining-sea all-girl adventure -- a story that combines all the best parts of Alice in Wonderland and Easy Rider as Tomato crosses the country in search of the meaning of life, love, and the perfect post office.
Flaming Iguanas is a hilarious novel that combines text, line drawings, rubber stamp art, and a serious dose of attitude.

Didn‘t like this book, but I finished it! #summerlovinreadathon #telleverybookworm7

My goal is to finish this book and get my timer a lot higher today. #summerlovinreadathon #telleverybookworm5

Struggling to get through this. #summerlovinreadathon #telleverybookworm4

My timer and two of the reasons I‘m not getting much reading done. Upside? I‘m on chapter 17. #summerlovinreadathon #telleverybookworm3

Getting started! #summerlovinreadathon #telleverybookworm1

Starting with Flaming Iguanas! #summerlovinreadathon #telleverybookworm

What better musical accompaniment for a feminist motorcycle gang than one of the seminal riot grrrl bands of the nineties?

This is my last entry, I swear.

Round 15 of our #tenatatime #tbr project! It‘s a lighter stack because I‘m on vacation next week. I hope I‘ll get in a lot of reading time!

One of the first major plot points in this book is set into motion by a #MotorcycleDriveBy. #90sInJuly

I love Tomato from Flaming Iguanas! 🍅 ❤❤❤ #favoritequote #riotgrams

I don‘t think you can come out on the other side of Flaming Iguanas and not love Tomato. This is such an irreverent, hilarious quasi-autobiograpgical travelogue with the best drawings and stamps sprinkled throughout and so much 'tude. I am not nostalgic for the decades I've lived through, but this book definitely takes me back. Glad to be reminded of this as I go off to write a zine article today! #photoadaynov16 #publishedinthe1990s

We finished our 3 day Portland trip with 92 books between the two of us. Yikes! I guess we need to spend the rest of our vacation reading! I ❤️ Portland.
