Welcome to Litsy!

Trying to get some reading in before going to sleep but my 2 reading buddies don't make it easy. Chase my big dog on the left and my dachshund is the Chewbacca looking lump on the right 🤣

Novel in verse: 16 yo Amina, who lost her mom at the age of 3, feels sure she really lost her dad then too. Silence and acrimony persist between them, but the bottom falls out when the truth about the new pastor is revealed, and Amina‘s not the only one. Written with compassion and hope😔

Completed “The Bone Witch” this weekend and getting ready to send off some 🐌mail to my fellow book lovers. 💌📬 heading out to Florida, Indiana, Mississippi, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Vermont, and Virginia.

#Litsylove #SnailMail #TheBoneWitch #PaperHugs

A raw, honest, and emotional novel in verse that ultimately feels like a triumph while shedding light on a painful journey towards self-acceptance.

Sometimes, it's only through books that we (kids) can find this.

Take care of your heart! 💗

My goodness, what a powerful story. This coming of age story in verse explores themes of racism, discrimination, police brutality, and inequality. It packs a punch with poignant prose and an unblinking reality. Zoboi has collaborated with Yusef Salaam, one of the exonerated NY five, and it is a timely and important read.

I‘m pretty sure this was going to be the month I didn‘t buy any books, but then I read the tagged book and had to own my own copy, and somehow all those other friends with really good deals made their way into my kart… 🙄 #bookmail #feedingtheaddiction

#faceoncover #luckyinlove @Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks One of my top reads from this month! I sent away for my very own copy as soon as this one went back to the library.

Well, Sunday's #Hyggehour readathon did not go to plan. I was planning on reading The Glass Universe by Dava Sobel. Unfortunately, this little chap had to be rescued from a cat fight. I spent the hour calming him and treating his wounds. Poor boy 🐾

I wanted at least one contemporary read specifically in honor of black history month, and I ended up being blown away by this for more reasons than I could possibly fit in a single review! I appreciate political fiction most when it‘s not heavy handed, and maybe that‘s one reason I‘ve had especially good luck with novels in verse. 👇🏼
