Welcome to Litsy!

I do the stuff my anxiety normally prevents me from doing. Eg. On Sunday I installed and used the vacuum system that came with my car that I got last year. Every time I looked at it I‘d freak out, afraid I‘d mess it up, etc. But after the incident with my son on Thursday (see previous post about 2 down from this) I must have needed to show myself I could still control something. :)

Visited Santa Barbara today. Was walking along State Street and looked down to my left and said “There‘s the library.” It took my kids half a block before they saw it. They do not have a library radar in their heads. 😂

Cute, fun picture book about a little girl finding the bravery to help her grandma & to live “Aloha.” Sweet read or read-along for ages 3-7 for AANHPI heritage month! #kidlit #aanhpiauthors

Rain steadily falls
outside my window. I can‘t
get you off my mind.

This book captures the triumphant feeling of learning something new and gaining independence.

I always watch and appreciate A Closer Look segment on Seth Meyers' Late Night show. I haven't yet listened to his podcast with his bother, but it sounds like there's good humor and plenty of #BrotherLove.

2.5 To be honest I like Seth Meyers bio on the cover better than I like the book. This book is fine. It‘s about a bear that doesn‘t want to admit they are scared while their rabbit friend is adventurous. Bear eventually overcomes their fright when a friend needs help. I wish the story might have gotten into everything that bear did to go on an adventure while not going on an adventure was an adventure.

A lovely picture book - read to Henry

4/5

I wasn't sure this one could be cuter than the first book but I was proven wrong!

I loved that it had a similar theme to the first book, in regards to discovery of self worth and friendship. A great read and the images are just as beautiful, detailed, and rich in color. Easy to read and follow along for young readers, or any age readers since I'm definitely older than the demographic for this one 😂
