Welcome to Litsy!

I just wanted to share that thanks to @CloakNQuill and the #HauntedHollowSwap , I am officially over 1000 books in #LibraryThing ! 🖤🧡🖤

I'm generally not a fan of science fiction so I attempted to start this book with an open mind. I'm glad I was able to do so because I was quickly impressed and hooked by chapter three. I'm used to not liking books like this because they are usually overdescriptive when it comes to the world building and don't make much sense. ..... cont

My current read, an eARC by LibraryThing's #EarlyReviewer program. An #anthology about seasons and the circular nature of life and, well, #nature itself.

Excited for this month's #Bookspin and even more so for the #Doublespin picks!

#Bookspin was one of the LTER ( #LibraryThing Early Reviewers) eARCs still to be read & reviewed - those I need to prioritize on my TBR anyway.
That makes them perfect for participating in #ARCApril , too!

And the #Doublespin was one of my fave choices on the whole list! I was just looking for an excuse to put it on top of my TBR... 😁

This is turning out to be a great book! I requested it from the #EarlyReviewer program on #LibraryThing. I was interested in reading more about Benjamin Banneker as I am familiar with him because I live near where his historical home was. The book is written by his descendant who is a white woman. Its discussion of #race in a historical context as well as in current times is fascinating. This is a beautifully written and well researched book.

This is a book I requested from the #LibraryThing #EarlyReviewer program. It‘s the story of the author‘s return to #Nigeria to learn why & how his uncle Emmanuel, for whom he was named, disappeared during the #NigerianCivilWar in the late 1960s. I remember hearing about #Biafra in the news when I was younger, but never knew much about that country. I‘m learning surprising things now...such as that country only lasted for less than three years!

I just started this novel tonight for a challenge on #LibraryThing to read a novel by an author who was born in a North African country. The author of this book was born in #Morocco, and, as far as I‘ve read, our protagonist is still in Morocco trying to figure out how to get to Europe. Back to my book see what happens...! 😃

I‘ve just started this book and hope I like it. Generally I really like #Japanese fiction. Now my older son is visiting Tokyo, and I‘m sitting at home drinking hot tea in a cup he brought me from a previous visit to #Japan. I‘m just trying to get into the mood to enjoy this book! 😊

This is an #EarlyReviewer book from #LibraryThing which I am currently reading. After having been given a diagnosis of Alzheimer‘s Disease, Sky Yardley writes with humor how he is dealing with his situation while his wife Jane Dwinell gives helpful advice for any family member living with or caring for a person afflicted with this progressive memory loss and eventually fatal condition.

I found this book on my bookshelf and chose it to read for the #LibraryThing challenge to read a book by an author born in #NorthAfrica. I‘d read and enjoyed books by this author before, but many years ago. I find this book intriguing. It‘s background is political, referring many times back to the #Egyptian Revolution in 1952. I had to look this up in order to give this read better context. I‘m glad I did.
