Welcome to Litsy!

One book down for #24b4monday! I started this book before I had my son, and had somehow forgotten all about it, until I found it in my car. The narrator, Jemma, has severe CP and cannot communicate. Her aide's slimy bf confesses to her that he had killed someone that was missing in her neighborhood! Shortly after that, her aide disappears. The representation in this book was great. I loved that Jemma got to be a full person, 🔽

I tense up as soon as I hear the doorbell. I know it's him.

For once, I'm actually off work for a while #24b4monday #readathon! I am spending the next 3 days at home with my almost 3 month old, so who knows how much reading I will actually get done! First up are the tagged book in print, Punching the Air in ebook format, and You Had Me at Hola and Midnight in Chernobyl on audio! Bare minimum I'd like to get through 2 print books, 2 ebooks, 1 graphic novel, and 1 audiobook before Monday 👍👍

Has anyone read this yet

I asked Delilah to help me pick out a new book to read. She put her nose on this one several times so I think her choice was clear. Also, I am pretty sure she has a lot of secrets. Do not be deceived by that innocent face!

What are you reading right now?

Jemma has cerebral palsy and can‘t move or speak. A murderer confesses to her and feels threatened when she begins to explore options for communication. The book deals with disability, long-term foster care, birth siblings, and more. Well done, Ms. Joelson!

Jemma has cerebral palsy and is unable to move or speak. Because of this, people around her tend to let their secrets out. But there is one secret she desperately needs to tell: she knows who the murderer is because they told her. A new technology is being created that will hopefully let Jemma communicate but will the murderer try and stop her?

The book does have a mystery element to it but it offers so much more than a cheap thrill.

1. Mamma Mia! 🏝
2. Probably Harry Potter 🚂
3. Fantastic Mr Fox 🦊
4. Emma Watson 🤗
5. I've just finished the tagged book and I loved it 💕

Won this signed copy in a Maximum Pop competition. Sounds like a brilliant book.

‪I Have No Secrets by Penny Joelson is such a moving story. 5🌟https://jilljemmett.com/2017/07/01/i-have-no-secrets/ #bookblog #review ‬

#LyricalApril Day 8: #AmIWrong - am not too sure about having no secrets. Kinda wrong, I think. ;)
