Welcome to Litsy!

The sweetest little spirit I know has volunteered his services as reading buddy while I hunker down with MEAN SPIRIT. It‘s a fictionalized take on the events everyone now knows from KILLERS OF THE FLOWER MOON, written by a Chickasaw woman, and it‘s excellent so far. I hope I can scrounge lots of time with it tonight.

I have always wanted to use this diagram to share my reading; apologizes to source creator of the art since I failed to note where this originates. Please tag yourself! Thank you 🙏

March 2024 best read = Mean Spirit / Linda Hogan, Book #26 2024. (#ReadICT : indigenous author)
February = Blackouts / Justin Torres, Book #11 - winner ToB XX
January = Clare Pooley's The Authenticity Project, Book #5. (Also #ReadICT : lost/found category)

Mean Spirit is better!! Or maybe, I can suggest that if you liked/appreciated Grann‘s NF book: Killers of the Flower Moon, you must please seek out Mean Spirit to get a fabulously told story with heart & grit with the Indigenous Peoples perspective.

(In further study, FYI, Hogan was a finalist for a Pulitzer Prize with Mean Spirit.)

Now, a novel by Native author set in the 1920s. Could l ever resist?
(Of course, as someone wiser that me said, l can resist anything except temptations 😆)

#bookmail arrived today

My haul from Book Outlet's last sale came today and I am so excited to dig into all these lovelies. 📖❤️

But seriously I said a prayer of recovery for my wallet after this past month because I've had 3-4 book hauls like this. 😳

#BookHaul #BookMail

I keep moving this forward as the one to read next. Let's see whether May will be the time 😄
I have quite a few ARCs to read in May too
