Welcome to Litsy!

I've picked 60 of my favorite books to reread in 2026 as part of my birthday celebrations.

Starting with first book I remember. Someone gave it to me, I'm assuming right before I started Kindergarten. Best part was it had a character with my name - Annette. (Didn't become Annie until later.)

I took with me when I left home. Obviously that one didn't survive the house fire but I found a replacement on Ebay for $5. 🤓

Book 1 #6Ofor60

THE CHILDREN OF GREEN KNOWE is one of those books that loomed large in my childhood because it both entranced and confused me. It‘s been sixteen years or so since I last read it, so when it showed up as a December bonus borrow on Hoopla I figured it was a sign. Now here I am, glorying in how creepy and joyous it is.

The lamppost has nothing to do with the book, really, but I saw it on NYE and it delighted me.

I created a new series challenge for 2026! #reading #challenge #2026 #series

A story of finding a cow that becomes a story of finding Sam Vimes while we meet many people of Ankh Morpork.

This was absolutely charming! I laughed out loud at several places, and I just adored when Lady Sybil shows up. This whole thing shows off the amazing growth we‘ve been seeing in Vimes over the last few books, and I adored this.🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑

🎉🎊 🍾

Finished Sunday for #BobWhiteBuddies I kinda sorta remember this one from my childhood. A bikeathon through the preserve to raise money for the high school art program that stops at Mrs. Vanderpoel‘s for her cookies & Mr. Maypenny‘s for hunter‘s stew? Sign me up! Trixie & the gang (with Di & Dan along for most of it) have to also solve a potential counterfeit ring & figure out who wants to stop the fundraiser. I liked ⬇️

#CHILDRENSCLASSICREAD2026 JANUARY

I know, I know.. Easter in January.
Cheerful is a mouse who longs to live in the country described in a song his mother sings.
I think longing for peace and where you feel at home is universal -no matter your religion or faith or ethos.

Year SEVEN 👏🏻🩵📘💙ALL WELCOME
