Welcome to Litsy!

Already almost halfway through this one and it‘s a lot spicier than I expected. I love it!

I admit that I picked up this book because I wanted to see what all the fuss was about...Now I get it! I absolutely adored this story! 5 ⭐️

My friend Sara let me borrow Tracey Garvis Graves's The Girl He Used to Know after posting a fabulous review of the book on her blog (check it out here: https://buff.ly/2WA61tf). I agree with *almost* all of her review: the relationship between Annika and Jonathan is compelling and believable, (continued in comments)

Saturday is off to a great start!📚

I'm really loving what Berkley is doing with romance right now! They're adorable, diverse, and oh my they are steamy! A bit more than I expected and wanted, but I was still totally invested in the characters.

#librarian #autism #mom #bookseller friends - please help! I have a 17 year old autistic son who hates reading, but has to do 20 minutes a day over the summer for school. His reading comprehension skills are very low and he only likes the Wimpy Kid books. We‘ve tried Big Nate, he wasn‘t a fan. He‘s huge into Nintendo. Any suggestions? #HELP #litsyloveslibraries

I don‘t read as many books about autism as a mom of a kid on the spectrum probably should. But I‘d like to more regularly read books BY people with autism, because - besides being inherently important because #ownvoices - they tend to have the tone and perspectives that I find most valuable. This is a great one - the memoir of a brilliant, successful journalist diagnosed as an adult. Insightful, well-written, and entertaining.

I finished reading this today. TGG did an exceptional job of writing a female character on the spectrum. I recognized myself in Annika many times. I even told my husband that reading this book was like having a mirror held up to me. TGG wrote Annika‘s character with kindness and compassion and with what seemed to me to be a deep understanding of both the challenges and the quirks of life on the spectrum. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!!!

This book RF book offers insight about what it is like when someone has autism. It is a great way to show perspective. It can open the door to have conversations about autism and inclusion. I would use this as a RA in lower grades and a LC in older grades. #UCFSU19 Newberry Honor & Schneider Family Book Award
