Welcome to Litsy!

I can‘t stand 1st person narrative most of the time. Mainly because it comes off as immature and a lot of tell and no show. There‘s a reason English teachers get picky about it😂 It just ends up sounding choppy and I can‘t get invested in the story. I‘ve only read a few books where the author pulls it off but mostly I find it annoying and avoid it.

My goat lives here. 😠 Why can't publishers depict real diversity in kid books? In the Scholastic newsletters I have this month, only 1 book that has a group of kids depicted on the cover has any diversity and that book is She Persisted (go figure). Another has white kids with varying hair - stupid. Scholastic has created a diverse books webpage, but those books should simply be in the main fliers. I shouldn't have to hunt them down. Ugh

I wind up avoiding a lot of books because they seem like they could be YA and I don't want to take my chances. (No hate for anyone who likes YA, it's just really not my thing.)

#marchintoreading Day 12 I agree with all of the pet peeves that have been posted. Another one of mine is people assuming because I choose to stay home and read a book that I don't have a life. This also ties into people who don't get what's great about reading. I love books and sometimes ( a lot of times) I prefer them to people. 😁
