Welcome to Litsy!

I enjoyed learning more about the Pack Library during the WPA days, the blue people of Kentucky, and … getting to know Cussy Mary aka Bluet. A satisfied read but a critical eye might ruin it. But hey! Giving it high marks for BOOKS 📚 and for PIE 🥧!!! I think this completes my #WiaN2022 #WhatsinaName #Challenge for 2022 🎉 #WiaN

In my quest to read everything by Sue Monk Kidd, because I really enjoyed her thoughts about how she came to write The Book of Longings. I set this as #FirstBook2022. Mostly because I had just lifted it off the shelf to fit #WiaN for Mythical Being category. And #ReadICT! But this had problems. I enjoyed reading with a more critical eye rather than a hope-to-love it expectation. #DogsofLitsy #EstherAssisting #Griff #WHPG

LOVED THIS. I cried. I needed a good cry.

This author intrigues me. How do I describe it? Like, I have a feeling that she is amusing herself as she writes; she is having fun. Something suggests she would be a sarcastic wit at parties and at work, she would tolerate boring business meetings with a sly sardonic smile on her face. #ToB #ToB21 #WiaN #DogsofLitsy #EstherFest #EstherAssisting

"How sad," I say. "What a sad existence." #TOB2017 #WiaN Book4oftheYr
