Welcome to Litsy!

Reading this article about predicting the Pulitzer for Fiction and so proud of myself for having read 2 of the 6 mentioned as favorites of the guy who wrote the article. AND! I‘ve read 8 of the 10 listed as predictions. (And I have at least heard of the other two…)
LOL - the winner OF COURSE didn‘t get a mention, but was on a long list for Natl Book Award: Night Watch by Jayne Anne Phillips 👏
Link will be dropped into comments.

This was a fun book if you're a fan of the show. Porter worked for “New Top Gear“ as the script editor during all the seasons that Clarkson, May, and Hammond were the presenters. The book is roughly linear but divided into very short chapters that each kind of read like their own little essay, so at times it felt a little abrupt, but also meant that it was easy to delve in and out of. As you'd expect, the writing is a bit snarky and entertaining⬇

My students loved our unit on THE TWILIGHT ZONE. 😱

We are having beautiful weather today. I got off to a rocky start with this book, HW complains a lot - about his parents, his struggles, his life but he is always kind to those around him. His battles with dyslexia, I think he‘s 34 when he realizes that is what his problem is and its genetic ( his daughter and step son have it too) is a turning point and so is getting a therapist ( much later than that). His wife narrates too ❤️ which is smart

Snow White bag #4, dinner is ready

Can we do #TuesdayTunes on a Thursday night?? This just came up on a Spotify-curated playlist, and I could smell that school bus seat vinyl and that particular teenage muskiness. Man…took me straight back to high school. Hadn‘t heard the song in years!

Bag #3 of Snow White

It's nice to get lost in one of Jessica's stories. After finishing this one, I've now checked off my #bookspin and #doublespin picks for April

Bag #2 of Snow White and started Being Henry. It‘s kind of a clash following The Postcard. Henry‘s parents are German Jews who escaped Berlin before the war really kicked off, his father misled his mom that they were just going on a work trip ( worked in the lumber trade) and then stayed in New York. Their entire family left behind perished. He is almost disparaging about the faux family they create to replace the lost one.
