Welcome to Litsy!

I‘m baaaccckkk!!! Thank God it‘s over! Still have some things to do like smoke detectors etc, but we‘re all unpacked and settled! I had to go from 5 bookcases to 3 because of limited space 😭 but I‘ll show you the reading nook the hubs made tomorrow!

If you want the new address shoot me an email and I‘m happy to share! bethmkaiser at gmail dot com.

I recently saw a question meme asking "what was the first book you read that made you aware of race?" I thought about Little House and The Secret Garden, then realised the very first was a still stereotypical but perhaps somewhat less problematic book - Come Over to My House. This was my favourite picture book for a long long time.

One of my favourite picture books has a sentiment I wish I shared with more politicians;
“Every house in the world has a ceiling and floor, but the ones you‘ll like best have a wide open door
Some houses are rich, full of silver and gold - and some are quite poor, sort of empty and old
Some houses are marble and some are just tin
But they‘re all, all alike when a friend asks you in”
