Welcome to Litsy!

One of my favorite middle grade novels was Counting by 7's by Holly Goldberg Sloan. This one was equally as sweet and hopeful. A good read for any kid who feels different or has issues in their life well out of their control.

3✨ I have very mixed feelings about this book. It is all over the place in regards to points of view. Mateo is autistic and the acceptance that Sila has as they navigate their friendship is the best part of this book. I was unsure of the elderly Gio and the fast friendship between him and Sila. As a mom of girls I felt uneasy. There was concern shown with their parents at first. While there is an elephant in the book it isn‘t in the story much.

July?! Where did you come from? I did really well with my yoga practice this last month and not so much everything else. So this month I am going to continue to do my yoga, read more, and do dishes every night. If I can keep the dishes in order I‘ll feel better about making healthier meals more often. 🥰💛 #BFC2022 @wanderinglynn

Alice on the other hand saw me giving attention to Domino and made me close the book to love her. Lol 😹

Domino is working on her cuddling skills while I read. 🥰

I woke up coughing because of a bad dust storm that blew through. Fun fact: a haboob is a really bad dust storm that similar to fog carried in by high winds. Fun fact # 2: that is the name of the mummy in the Brenden Fraser film. Anyways I‘ve been reading and not liking this book I was reading to try to fall back asleep. The writing is pretty much all over the place. Jumps from character to character, and more. I‘ll see if I finish it.

My oldest had her dance recital last night, and another one this afternoon. This is her baby doll, Rosie, supporting her. I‘ll be working concessions this afternoon so maybe I can read a little of the tagged while the show is on. 💛

There are 2 “elephant“ books out this week for MG. I love the colors on this cover.
