Welcome to Litsy!

This socialist novel is very different from the Jack London stories with which I‘m familiar. I‘ve been listening to it the last few days on my walks.

I read Daughter of Smoke and Bone (the trilogy) a couple of years ago and found this novella in #hoopla recently, reminding me I never read it. It's the love story of a puppet maker and a violin boy, Zuzana and Myk, it's all cute and the only warring factions are off the page in texts from Karou. ⤵️

#Hoopla #pop19 #ABookWithSomeoneWithASuperPower While I generally do not appreciate or enjoy comics, I thought Ms. Marvel was well done. Nice illustrations, good characterization, fun plot. Only 3 more prompts left for me!!!

The audiobook version of Lanny by Max Porter feels like a combination of others that I like. Mix part Reservoir 13 and The Reservoir Tapes by Jon McGregor (sleepy village, child goes missing, multiple perspectives) with The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman (small child interacting with the supernatural, in this case Dead Papa Toothwort,) family and Lincoln in the Bardo by George Saunders (community members with conflicting narratives.) #hoopla

Due to the many references in The Bookshop of Yesterdays to The Tempest, I decided to listen to the play next. I enjoyed the audio dramatization, but I had a hard time keeping track of the characters so I read along in some parts using #SerialReader. This was quite different from other Shakespeare plays I‘ve read, but once I got the characters figured out I enjoyed it.

Flying through this graphic novel on #Hoopla one-handed while #Pippin sleeps on my hand. He loves sleeping like this, he's got me wrapped around his paw. 😂😍 #dogsoflitsy #bostonterriersoflitsy This snuggle time is a reward for working out so much this morning. 😊 #BookFitnessChallenge #BFC @wanderinglynn

I listened to a bit more of this book yesterday while waiting for the boat to pick me up and finished it today while working in the garden.

I enjoyed the overall story and the literary connections used throughout as part of Miranda‘s quest to understand her family‘s story. This book is full of characters making and avoiding making difficult decisions, but I appreciated how it all came together in the end.

I saw this available on #Hoopla and can‘t wait to read it this week.

I worked at a branch today, one that I never visit. It was different and slow but also kinda nice. Really loving Stella! I have the #audiobook from #hoopla which is nice to hear the Italian pronunciation of several names and places.

Starting a new #audiobook for #Booked2019 #IndigenousAuthor #Hoopla 🤞🏼🤞🏼
