2/5 🌟
Disappointing for Terry Pratchett. Found my mind wandering a lot.

Afterward by Edith Wharton 🌟🌟🌟

Pretty much your average ghost story. 🤷‍♀️

I‘m not exact sure how I feel about this one. I really loved the main character, Charlie; and I definitely see some value in the story, but I felt like it would have been just as powerful without a lot of the graphic imagery and excessive drug/alcohol use. I can see why it was banned in school libraries. #Booked2020 #BannedBook #AtoZLitsy (Letter P) #readingwithmaja #yafiction #june

Cinfhen I was surprised by how much I related/ enjoyed this book. I didn‘t realize it was on the banned book list but I‘m not really surprised 😞 4y
TrishB I thought that reflected reality 🤷‍♀️ 4y
Roary47 I was left with the same uncertainty on if I liked it or not. I can see the value of some concepts being discussed for teens that don‘t feel comfortable talking to adults about certain issues, but feel it was very graphic in things teens should try not to get into. 4y

This is the story of a woman tasked with finding the owners of lost things collected by her benefactor and two love stories intertwined. It was supposed to have an element of magical realism, but I didn‘t see it. #AtoZLitsy #readingwithmaja #setineurope

Night | Elie Wiesel

I only read Night as of yet. I need time between these. Truly heartbreaking, not only because of the traumatic experience of the holocaust, but also because of his loss of faith in God. 😥 #AboutGenocide #Booked2020 #AtoZLitsy

BarbaraTheBibliophage Yes, this is a hard but important read. So we never forget. 4y
Cinfhen I haven‘t read any of his follow ups! I really MUST. Thanks for the reminder 4y

I‘ve finally been able to finish a book after making about a billion masks! So...this is an interesting depiction of New York in the 1960s. I believe it takes you through all five buroughs. I also learned a new word: semaphore. The story is okay, but the historical depiction is where the value is. #NewberyEpicChallenge #AtoZLitsy (Letter I)

Butterfinger I'm finishing this tonight. Did not get to read the other one. What do you have planned for June? 4y
amber_ldsmom @Butterfinger I will post June‘s books in just a bit! (edited) 4y

Sweet and heartwarming, but takes you on a roller coaster of emotions before you get there. ❤️ #AtoZLitsy (Letter Y)

This was just meh for me. I might have enjoyed it more if I hadn‘t listened to it on audio. The narrator really bugged me. #AtoZLitsy (Letter W)

This is a delightful little story about the wonder of imagination and all the interesting things you can find in your own backyard, even if all it contains is a weed and an old tomato can. Reminiscent of The Wizard of Oz as well. #ChildrensClassicRead2020 #AtoZLitsy (Letter T)
