Welcome to Litsy!

I loved the tv show and now, having read the book, I understand why people keep coming back to it to adapt it. The writing is so absorbing and propulsive, this is narrative nonfiction at its best. It does help if you like or have liked football, but I don‘t think it‘s necessary.

Fun book in which two girls start reading a shoujo manga together to get close, and start revealing themselves to each other, fall in love, etc. It's really cute.

Aaand I decided to do do another #ComicsBingo card since I said it'd be until the end of December, and I need to read some extra books to catch up with my reading goal! The illustrator of this book is Brazilian.

9th grade Literature Circle reads. Night is a 10th grade class read.

I had been meaning to read this. I‘m glad it was chosen for my December #bookspin.

I feel like everyone else has already read it, but if not it‘s about a 9th grade girl who was raped at a party and her struggles afterwards. I believe it‘s often read in school, and also has been banned in places. Jason Reynolds‘s afterword is another excellent perspective.

What an awe-inspiring graphic novel! The author covers so many topics and important themes—community, diversity, courage, team spirit, writer‘s angst, family, friendship, mentorship and more. Plus some fascinating trivia about how women‘s basketball finally broke the sexist barriers. A great read for teens or big kids like us, even if you‘re not a sports fan.

This was a fun read. It was an epic end to a series. It was full of laughs and good humor. This is a great book to read after a long day. And I finished the audiobook perfectly by turning on the radio and listening to Huntrix‘s Golden, after a long day of dashing. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We got the barest hint of first flurries today in Mass & Rhode Island. Not enough to appear in a #BeautyBreak photo. BUT! I went to college in VT & I have friends who are still there. One of them shared a picture in our group chat of the view outside her window. ❄️💜
