Welcome to Litsy!

Soft pick - I enjoyed this book set in Paris during the late 1800's about two sisters finding their way after their fathers death. It was a good look into the time period and what young girls had to do to survive but also how certain choices could impact their lives. I did find I wanted to put the book down at times in the beginning but I'm glad I finished. The way the author intertwined the story with some boy criminals at the time was well done.

#DashingThruDecember Day 22: This #Nutcracker board book is a delight. This dance primer is not only a celebration of classic ballet, it also highlights the many colours, the diversity of dance and its infinite variations. My review: https://wp.me/pDlzr-j34

This is a great rendition of The Nutcracker by Lola #DashingThruDecember Nutcracker

I mean, it's Sarah Moss so of course it's good!
There were storylines, though, that I would happily have read whole books about and so (unreasonably) feel a little short-changed.
