Welcome to Litsy!

#BookReport this week has two books checked off for #BBRC and progress made in a couple of #buddyread titles. I‘m behind on Middlemarch and slightly behind on The Jane Austen Project, but should be able to catch up quickly.

Year of Wonder offers a movement or a segment of classical music each day - I finally created a Spotify account to follow along with the daily selections - as well as a short write up on why the music was selected. So good!

Thanks to #NetGalley and the publisher for this #ALC !

I listened to this one not realizing that it the third in the series featuring the Jansen brothers. However, other than other characters‘ romantic back stories, I felt like I did not miss much from the prior books.

Hailey and Wes meet awkwardly but then begin a friendship. But, can they just be friends? This was light and funny, though some moments I had to shake my head ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Can the entire infamous 5th grade at Laketon Elementary School stay quiet for 48 hours? Lessons in cooperation, respect, and communication abound in this book. Clements does well in using Gandhi‘s silence as an agent to change and making the lessons understandable for kids. This is a recognized PA School Librarian‘s Association Young Readers Choice Award winner, for the 2008-2009 school year. #BBRC #YourStateAwardWinner

I had a hard time finding a book for my last #BBRC prompt #AdultAGraphicNovelFromTheYearYourWereBorn but this Miyazaki 1983 classic has just been translated into English for the first time. It‘s an amazing little story based on a traditional Tibetan legend about barley becoming their staple crop. With adaptations that tell a larger political story. It‘s beautifully done and unlike anything I‘ve read before. Very glad I picked it!

I really enjoyed this book. At times it could be a little too ya. The magic system was cool. Each witch has a designated season which they are strongest in controlling except Clara, she is an Everwitch & has power through all four seasons but she can't control it. I'm really looking forward to the #SundayBuddyRead discussion @TheBookHippie

Cute mystery great for older kids, like 4-6/7? Fun for a story time I‘d think. #bbrc #picturebook:A #boookspinbingo #BINGO #scarathlon #teamslaughter +46ptd

The Handyman is one of Little's more gruesome stories & just as Cujo reminds us to make sure our St. Bernards have their rabies vaccines, Handyman is about the importance of making sure the people who work on our houses are licensed & bonded.
The other 4 are entertaining ghost stores that Tamed Wild put together. The La Vampire is one that is credited in helping give Anne Rice ideas for Interview 👻

In case I need reminded, manga is really not my favorite reading genre, but I completely understand the appeal. Just not for me!

This is the first in the well known Sailor Moon series, so provides the background on the rise of Sailor Moon and her allies, plus the mysterious Tuxedo Mask. The illustrations are fun. #BBRC #TeenAngst #ShojoManga
