Welcome to Litsy!

Wow. This was a fascinating, very readable nonfiction book about Russia‘s last tsar and his family. I knew very little about the years surrounding the Russian Revolution prior to reading this book, so I really learned a lot. All the names are here - Nicholas, Alexandra, Rasputin, Lenin, “The Bolsheviks”, “The Soviets” and more. Now I have a basic understanding of the stories behind those names. ⬇️

Finished up my #middlegrademarch with these. Top two were my faves. On to #yaapril @megnews @Eggs

1. I do. I like to challenge myself. My problem in the past is trying to do too many challenges at one time.
2. I like to try everything at least once and I think I've loved them all. Some of my favorites have been #bookspin #YAapril #24b4Monday #fairytalereadingchallenge #readacrossamerica #scarathlon and monthly photo prompt challenges

This was incredible. This was an audio read so I really don't know the spelling of names, but I loved how Vickie grew from her suicide attempt to discover new friends, a way to stand up to her father, and that she IS a strong person. Her Mom was right - she is the strongest. Stork made everything realistic - the loneliness, the depression, the treatment. A hard book that ended very positively. #YAApril @sblbooks @megnews

Finished 2 of my planned books for this week. In & out of others. Almost done with my #YAApril holdover. Very close to done with my March #bookspin. 😂 Started one of my May #MonthOfMemoirs picks and a school textbook. And got sucked into the pictorial history of Cleveland I had on my Overdrive tbr for awhile.
