Welcome to Litsy!

While I have not read this series yet, I love to recommend Rick Riordian for boys in 4th grade and up. #lovetorecommend #17booklove

Trying not to go crazy with #lovetorecommend for #17booklove @jess.how because... craziness is sometimes a result when I am asked for recommendations. I am sticking with this book, because it is the only book I buy every time I see it in a used bookstore so I can give copies away. A fantasy novel by an SF author, it is the story of Prince Amatus, who only has the right side of his body, and his quest to become whole. Charles Vess cover art!!!

I think I #lovetorecommend this book more than any others since I've read it. So well-researched and fantastic, so profound from Alice's point-of-view! Highly recommend. #17booklove

Maggie O'Farrell is my new author I #lovetorecommend - I just found her last year. And I find this book is the easiest for newbies to access. The story is deceptively easy to follow. It's only at the end that you realize the magic trick O'Farrell pulls off: she lays out the story of a woman with Alzheimer's and another woman who's been institutionalized for 50 years, in less than 250 pages, without either really saying a word.

I #lovetorecommend Dark Matter because it's a genre-bender. Yes, it's sci-fi. Yes, it's a thriller. Yes, it's a love story. Yes, it raises big philosophical questions. Basically, there IS something for everyone. And everyone gets exposed to something they probably wouldn't choose regularly. Love, love, love that in a book❤️😍❤️

I talked about this book to just about everyone last year. I #lovetorecommend it because it's just a perfect story: timely, prescient, well-paced, multi-layered, that captures the zeitgeist impeccably. It's just a damn fine book all-around.

While I #lovetorecommend this book, I NEVER loan it out. I found it on a dollar rack, & can't be sure I'll ever replace it if it's lost/not returned.
I thought I was getting some European romp with an exorcist & the Anti-Christ. I got an eye-opening revelation about the foundations of our totalitarian agriculture worldview.

I #lovetorecommend this one, & since it's my most frequent re-read (& re-watch), I'm an authority on it at this point 😉. What an amazing journey. And what a perfect allegory for life & faith.

This is another one I #lovetorecommend & give as a gift. I'm not even sure why I picked it up, but it is just a beautiful piece of fiction. Steve Martin as a writer of fiction is a revelation.

This is probably my favorite book that I #lovetorecommend - I've been doing it for about 15 years. Not only that, I've given my own copy away more times than I can count😂. So I bought this 25th anniversary edition, & it stays with me now🙂
