Welcome to Litsy!

I went to a tiny bookstore in the bottom part of the state and they had so many books, new and very old, that I‘ve read and loved. It felt like my own personal library. After talking with the bookseller, she suggested I might like this one and considering we seem to have the same taste I purchased it. I loved it. Magical realism is not generally my jam, but this involved a mute boy and his loving mother and grandmother who have suffered losses. 🔽

A very charming novel set in 1950s Louisiana, Leganski‘s lyrical writing is absolutely stunning. I was swept up in Bonaventure‘s story immediately and the magical realism used to tell it was joyful to read. Though this is quite a sad novel with upsetting/triggering events, it ultimately is about the power of human connection and liberation of forgiving oneself. 4⭐️ #wintergames2021 #averymerrybingo

We don‘t have a fireplace, so enjoying some Sunday night reading by the fire thanks to Netflix. 😂 #wintergames2021 #mistletoemaniacs #SelfieScavengerHunt #cozyfire #birchwoodedition #thanksnetflix

Y‘all!! My son got the most AR points in the entire elementary school this year!!! I‘m so proud I could burst. If you don‘t know what that‘s for, it‘s points for books read and tested over. He read so many books! He‘s had a really rough year with bullying and he really deserves it. I couldn‘t be prouder of my boy. I‘m poolside at AR field trip today, of course I brought a book.

This is the first pick of our new #bookclub formed at my work... It read fast, but I'm not really into all of the spiritual references in here. What can be taken away from this novel is a conversation about what it means to be a good human being, moving on from tragedy, and forgiveness.

🤣 you know nothing! One can never have too many books!

Quiet Saturday night.

Recently decided to switch to a Fall look for my pictures! I'm looking forward to the crisp mornings and pretty autumn colours! Who else is excited for Fall?!
