Welcome to Litsy!

Perspective of time raised this from a so-so read back in 2014 to a full on pick in 2023! Beautiful writing - a fragmented story of one woman‘s life growing up in 1940‘s Brooklyn. Quiet and lovely♥️

My friend asked me to cover for her this coming Sunday as the moderator of our synagogue‘s Seniors Bookclub. Seems like a fun idea. I read this book ages ago but I‘m in need of a re-read….glad it‘s only 232 pages 😊As moderator, the synagogue gifted me a copy of the book 🙌🏻

Enjoying the early morning before the beach crowds 🌴📚

I picked this book to fulfill a challenge category (book with one word title) as I get closer to completing a reading challenge... and I'm so glad I did. It's the story of Marie, an average person growing up in Brooklyn... just your average someone who comes of age during WW2. McDermott then takes us into her married life and widowhood.

#bookmail is the best mail. Love bargains!

I cannot resist the bargain section of Barnes and Noble 😬
First I was like, I'll just get something for the kids. Then I was like, I don't read enough nonfiction. I need a nonfiction book. Then I just threw my hands up and decided to treat myself 😁

Happy Friday! #bookhaul #treatyoself #treatyoshelf
