Welcome to Litsy!

Wish I had this book & that club growing up.

The cover for this one is amazing. I liked the plot (though there were some subjects that deserved more time) and the characters. Though, I don‘t know a single 8th grader who talks like this book said they talked, not since 4th grade at least. Another thing is that middle schoolers are a lot more mature than a lot of authors give them credit for. That just bugs me some times. But still, I‘m a sucker for any “disassemble the patriarchy” books. 4⭐️

This is a new favorite! Riley loves her school‘s “Red Club”. Girls meet once a week to talk about their periods and share advice. They also have a secret locker stashed with extra pants, pads, tampons, etc. Various parent complaints stack up, leading to the suspension of the school newspaper, strictly enforced dress codes for girls, and an end to the Red Club. The girls at Hawking Middle School start organizing.⬇️

Bought some new books today.

So good! #huggable

There was some predictability but the rest makes up for it. Riley is an awesome kid and everyone involved in the Red Club is equally cool — despite their differences. The budding relationship was fun to watch develop.

I want my daughter and all her friends to read this.

Starting this one next for #middlegradeMarch

Darling book!! Highly recommend!

I‘ve been away for a little while. My partner has been sick, and I‘ve picked up some freelance work. But this showed up in the Shelf Awareness email from my local indie this morning, and it sounded good. So I‘m starting it tonight.
