Welcome to Litsy!

A short but powerful book that packs a punch; a necessary read. Each book I read on my anti-racist journey is telling the world and me the same thing. I learn something from every Black voice, every word, every page. The author shares her struggles within a sea of white from her childhood, adolescence, and as an adult. She rightfully criticizes the church and demands it let its white superiority go, demands it do more. Demands a radical love.

Inspired by @julesG ‘s comment on my #sundayfunday post…

However, one could say that any book I read #InvolvesHeist 😎

Very good!

Read this book. 🤍✨ her voice, her life, her story deserves to be heard, cherished, and remembered.

Beautiful poetry and story, woven and arranged and told in a way that will stick with me for a long time. An unfolding of a life. I loved the way the poems were artistically put onto the page too. So much I could say. But her words are what matters here. Read this book. 🤍✨ #poetry

The Sum of Us was enraging in the best ways and really eye opening about some things I never thought of... like why we had to pay $120 each summer for season pool passes when I was growing up.

Almost through with the Violin Conspiracy and I feel like it shouldn't end. I wonder if there will be a movie based on it.

1. Louise Penny, Geraldine Brooks, Tana French, to name a few
2. Tagged book is the most recent of my favorite mysteries

A YA book so I‘m obviously not the intended audience which shows in my rating (3 ⭐️). It was very readable, accessible, engaging and I imagine quite informative/eye opening and relevant to younger readers. I think for its audience it‘s a great read. #readyourkindle

Sometimes when I can't get enough of the book I'm reading and I've become so attached to the book, I do all other things while reading. I eat while reading, I play the book while cooking, doing dishes , baking, and even taking a shower🚿
Who else does this?

First time learning of this quote by Whoopi Goldberg was from the tagged book.
