Welcome to Litsy!

I don‘t think I‘ll ever travel to Hawaii, but this book definitely took me there. It is filled with beautiful art and stories of this volcanic goddess.

I‘m on vacation!

Getting ready for vacation! 💇🏼‍♀️📘

Moloka‘i started out as a place of isolation and punishment but came to represent family and home. The descriptions of this lonely place were wonderful. The history was finely woven into the story. The characters were beautifully wrought.

Using true events from the life of Jane Stanford in 1905, this book adds a modern day timeline of writer Zoe staying in the same Oahu hotel room as Jane. I enjoyed this and felt the dual timeline worked well. It was fun to be back in Hawaii for a few hours. 😉

I had to run to the pharmacy after work & I decided I wanted Raising Cane‘s lemonade (& chicken strips but mainly the lemonade). There were 2 geckos🦎🦎frolicking on the menu sign in the evening darkness. Watching them made me smile & inspired today‘s kind of silly haiku.
