Welcome to Litsy!

Crochet and audiobook in the pick up line at school 🧶 📚

Kids are at grandma and grandpa‘s…hubby and I have a date night! Heading out to listen to one of our friends play at a bar tonight!

Sneaking in a few pages before he gets home from work ◡̈

Hey! Just checking in to let everyone know all is well! Just haven‘t been doing any reading at all - my minimal brain power and energy has been put towards nesting and getting ready for baby Benjamin.💙

Time is such a crazy thing. I‘ve been pregnant for three seasons, but yet it feels like no time at all, and also not soon enough until we meet him.😊

I‘ve been working on building up his little library, with my favourite book being Pig the Pug.🐶

Just a tiny bit dark in tone, something the adults can appreciate in picture books. Not quite 'original Grimm's fairy tales' type ending, but certainly leans toward delivering a dire fate to the wrong doer as a moral lesson to readers.
Whether depicting the greedy character as fat is the wrong kind of messaging to send to kids today, feels sadly like a question that was just emerging into the mainstream when this book was first published.

Kelly Barnhill writes the most magical stories! This one felt a little too real sometimes (for me, as an adult living through eerily similar times), but it is all the better for it! The message is beautiful, timely, and timeless: be kind.

This is one of the best books I‘ve read this year. I loved the plot and the multiple twists. Nothing is as it seems. A woman dies and the story has multiple viewpoints and timelines but it‘s never hard to follow and characters don‘t get confused. Loved it. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This was not the kind of children's read I was expecting and not in a good way. There was a lot of “lecturing“ I felt from the author. Made this a wee bit stressful of a read.

I‘ve seen a lot of good reviews about this one recently, so fingers crossed it‘ll be as engrossing as my last listen.

Book 54 of 2023! What a wild ride! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This is how you do a twisty thriller!!!

I love complicated, complex people, being manipulated by POV all to enhance an exceptional plot! I‘ll definitely be reading more of this author.

This is what Riley Sager attempts to do but doesn‘t quite make it there. Hopefully that author will improve but for now I‘ll keep reading this guy.
