Welcome to Litsy!

#SpringSkies Day 19: #Fall in title. My handwritten book log for our #DecolonizeBookshelves2022 reading theme. There were striking themes that fit into the decolonize nature of our reading theme, especially the portrayal of biracial characters who do not seem to fit in anywhere, forever outsiders across their two cultural backgrounds.

#IndelibleMoments Day 8: Our recent trip to Amsterdam just last week constitutes #ExoticTravel for me - the Netherlands has always been such a faraway, almost-unreachable place for me (for reasons other than geography) and I feel privileged to finally spend an entire week there. Here‘s my book haul from our trip.

#ArtfulAugust Day 20: I think this counts towards #FloralCover - paired with lemon mint drink. #CurrentRead for #DecolonizeBookshelves2022

📚I have read 150 out of target 200 books in 2022. For my #DecolonizeBookshelves2022 goal of 25 titles, I have only read a measly 10.
📚Yes - and books that I continue to buy from This Is The Canon booklist. 😭😭😭

#JulyJam Day 5: These book titles are giving me #BikiniDay vibes. Recent book haul - all part of our #DecolonizeBookshelves2022 reading theme.

#BookMoods Day 29: #SetInAnotherCentury, this baby by Dr Jose Rizal was published in Ghent in 1891. Read it when I was in highschool, and looking forward to rereading it as part of #DecolonizeBookshelves2022

👑Do fairy tales count? lols. I gravitate towards royalty among people of color than British/European gentry
👑The Shadow King by Maaza Mengiste is riveting and powerfully written.

#BookMoods Day 7: This tome has #600PlusPages in total. Perfect for our #DecolonizeBookshelves2022 reading theme.

#MayMoms Day 28: #Hilarious has been used to describe this book filled with acerbic wit - but I simply could not get into it, despite the psych allusions. I read this as part of our #DecolonizeBookshelves2022 reading theme, and I am relieved to have finished reading it. Undoubtedly it is an important novel, but the way it is told will be debated on by people more intelligent than me in years to come. More here: https://wp.me/pDlzr-opX
