Welcome to Litsy!

Curled up with Jazz, catching up on a bit of reading before work today! 😻💕📚 #jupiterjazz #catsoflitsy

I came across this book today at work, and it gave me an immediate burst of joy! 🥰 I remember reading and absolutely loving this book when I was in 3rd grade! I think I'm going to do a reread of it, especially with spring (hopefully) right around the corner! 💕📚

Cute story about the relationship between humans and animals. Loved the dialects. The ending was very sweet. #NewberyEpicChallenge #ReadtheUSA2021 #Connecticut

Awww! The new folks are kind. Love this book. #NewberyEpicChallenge @amber_ldsmom

There's an awful lot of books, though. Don't hold much with that. People that reads books much seem to be queer-like. Grandpa always said, 'Readin' rots the mind.' Don't know but what he was right."

I ended up enjoying this quick middle grade read. New folks are coming to the hill and all of the small animals are hoping they‘re good folk. I loved the message that “there is enough for all,” even if it is a tad socialist. I read this because it‘s on the Battle of the Books list this year and because it‘s a Newbery Medal winner.

Animals around an abandoned country house excited because rumor of a new family moving in. Could help with food supply because food has been scarce. Will have to decide if these are good folks or bad folks for animals.

I think my younger students would really enjoy this as a read aloud. #NewberyChallenge

What?!?

This was a quick and fun read of a Newbery award winner, one of the many where the animals come alive and give you an idea of how they see the world. I enjoyed this one!

I've been feeling a bit down so I decided to get some books today. I am on a #bookbuyingban until Mid October, so I hit two branches of the library. The Glendale branch which is near my favourite coffee house, The Monon Coffee Company in Broad Ripple, and The Lawrence branch which is my local.
