Welcome to Litsy!

I made party food (crockpot cheese dip), tortilla chips, chili, and homemade muffins for late night snacking and invited my kids to join in me in participating in #LitsyPartyOfOne with the goal of finishing this very slow book. But after finishing up some volunteer work I was distracted by Romeo and Juliet and read several acts and now too tired to stay awake. We all read a little but it's an early night for us. 😕 Hope everyone has fun tonite!!

These are my #tbr for #feistyfeb. Lark and Termite is very slow. Maybe second half will pick up. @RealLifeReading

#page24ofcurrentread was a little...ahem...explicit but with careful cropping I think we are ok. #readjanuary

Reading a new book, playing some Uno, Lindsay Sterling violin in the background and a beautiful day. Life is sweet. Can we bottle this moment?

This book is set in 1950s Korea and West Virginia, my home state. It tells of the bond between nearly adult Lark and her young brother Termite, who is unable to walk or talk. The writing is beautiful and the story is haunting, and I felt deeply connected to these characters who I see in my friends, family, and neighbors. #readjanuary

Huge book haul today. The second and third stacks are for daughter @MissytheBookworm who started reading this series in her school library. That's her trying to get out of the picture. 😂😂😂

The book starts out with a forecasted storm. It's quiet and still and as the weather changes, the characters change, the narrative picks up, and when the storm hits...
It's a coming of age story. It's beautiful.

The magical connection between sister and brother, Lark & Termite, and their ability to survive against a great many odds makes them the #bestkids in this amazing book. #octphotochallenge

It's seven in the morning and here and there a little bit of air moves, in pieces, like a tease, like things are getting full so slow no one notices.
