Welcome to Litsy!

My travel card cracked on the w/e while I was on a 🍷 tour. I was too busy yesterday to pick a new 1 up so I got up early to get to the newsagent before work today so I could buy 1. I was super organised & had time to visit a little free library before I jumped on the tram. I scored these 📚 which are perfect for school. Only 2 more get ups until I am on holiday for 2 weeks & travelling up the coast to a warmer climate for my gran‘s 90th b‘day.

Thank you, @PuddleJumper , for this distraction today! I‘m still making good progress on finishing my last 2 June #roll100 titles, but here‘s what I have to look forward to in July:
#13 is The Pirates! In an Adventure with Scientists
#44 is Forrest Gump
#75 is The Cheese Monkeys

Just finished this gem! The sequel to Homecoming, Dicey‘s Sing continues the story of the Tillerman family in a realistic, engaging way.

Day 7 #7books7days Books that made an impression

My well loved copy of Dicey‘s Song. My grandma gave this to me when I was around 12, so I‘ve had this for nearly 35 years.

This was fun and I could keep going for at least 7 more. Some others I‘ve loved-Anne of Green Gables, Calling Me Home, Seeking Allah, Finding Jesus, the Bible, The Hiding Place, Half the Sky, The Big Truck that Went By...

#7Days7Books

7 books that have left a huge impression and made a change on me.

I read this book several times in high school.

Third book complete for #JumpStart2020, a reread of an old favorite. I need to continue the series, as I‘ve only ever read the first two, so I hope this time it‘ll take.

4/5⭐ Still love this family and their journey through the challenges they face while striving to remain true to each other. It's especially nice to see the book tackle how the world reacts to various differences: in learning ability, body weight, race, finances, etc.

Just finished Dicey's song. I am a little emotional. It was good. I will always carry the Tillermans ib my heart.

Been meaning to read this for a while.

I gave my niece Mia a copy of Dicey‘s Song for her birthday this year, and I will quite simply never tire of this view.

I'm working on reading all of the Newbery winners backwards. This one is #nextup, the winner from 1983. #fallintobooks

This book always makes me cry. It is so very lovely and I think illustrates beautifully the joy and the struggle of growing up and finding your place, your people, and yourself in the world.

Perhaps I've crossed into a nit-picking dork reader zone, but there is a missing quotation mark here, AND a character's name is spelled 2 different ways throughout the book, AND there's no copyright page (what? You don't read the copyright page?).
