Welcome to Litsy!

I love YA and kidslit, so much so that I have a Masters Degree in Children's Literature. I fell in love with books at a very young age and I love the hope in kidslit that I find often missing in adult books.

It's a very dense complex read for right now, when my brain isn't able to process too much complexity!

4 of the replacements for the Staff Picks #BooksAboutBooks Display! I especially love this display, because this was the first time one of our newer colleagues shared some books with everyone and she was nervous about its success. Let me tell you, almost all her picks blew off the shelves within a few days! It was AWEsome! 😁👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Have you read any of these?!

Love all the books and goodies. The kittoes are enjoying the toys. Thank you, @EH2018 #CupidGoesPostal

Books are sorted and shelved. The house that books built. Caveat: This does not include the shelves in our three bedrooms. 🧚🏼‍♀️📚 Now I can say we have officially moved in.

I feel like this could be my #subtitle. #aprilbookshowers @RealLifeReading

#TBRtemptation post 3! *points pointer finger (right hand's)* Who among you got the reading bug seemingly before your remembered memories? Me too, which is why I want this book. This is a memoir focused on childhood books. FS was massively influenced and developed by them. Wind in the Willows, Narnia, Little House on the Prairie. Because of his indebtedness, he's studied how books shape children. & he has stuff to tell! #blameLitsy #blameMrBook 😎

I ❤ this book shelf! Most of it is TBR 😬 but I think it's gorgeous.

I tagged The Child That Books Built because it is an excellent autobiography of the author's early relationship with books. It was brought to mind again after the post by @TheLondonBookworm 🙂.

The similarity between Francis Spufford (top) and Neil Gaiman (bottom) would be almost uncomfortable -- if so many of us did not also have the same experience. Long live Narnia.

This book looks somewhat interesting, buried in with all the other "treasure," including an 1897 Sears catalog...real antiques here.
