Welcome to Litsy!

A heart wrenching but very well written story. I believe this is my third book by this author and won‘t be my last.

This sounds so good! Anyone read it ?

As Hy-Lo lies in the hospital, his sole visitor-his daughter, Kenzie Lowe-confronts the raw memories of how alcoholism impacted the collective and individual lives of their family. The story is tense, tender, terrible, and wise; but also redemptive. McFadden‘s storytelling is gripping and urgent, yet, merciful.

Hey everyone! Check out this fantastic photo challenge from @writerlibrarian ! I seriously hope I finally stick with a monthly challenge for once. I always end up forgetting after the first day or two. I actually put a reminder on my phone this time. 😬😬

Bernice L. McFadden's writing in The Warmest December is outstanding. Haunting and heartbreaking.

It was a great reading month, probably my best for the year, although there were some quick reads in the mix w/ 2 cozy mysteries, a short set of essays & 2 fast literary humor books. Other random December stats: I posted my best of December earlier today. I didn't keep track of December pages & I'm too lazy to go look & count.😆 I read 6 non-fiction & 16 female authors, but I think only 2 POC authors this month. Overall, I'm pretty pleased! 👍📚

It's Monday again so I'm posting the list for any new Littens! Use the hashtag #seasonsreadings2016 and tag me so I can see what you're up to!
Have a great week ahead!
