Welcome to Litsy!

#12Booksin2022 I read a lot of great books in December, so it was hard to choose a favorite, but this one packed a punch, and I'll be thinking about it for a long time. @Andrew65

#12booksin2022. As a middle schooler/teen in the 90s I was obsessed with Nirvana and I have loved the Foo Fighters. This is not a tell-all. Instead, I found it a warm retelling of important moments in Dave Grohl‘s life and career. It is respectful all those in his life and never puts anyone down. I found the stories about his daughter most touching.

October #12booksin2022 I read Free Food for Millionaires this month too which I LOVED but this book BLEW MY MIND! People need to read more and stop being so crazy! Also public education, health care need to be fully funded for everyone! Enough of this American dream shit. Take care of each other, it‘s not weakness. It‘s community and society

This whole trilogy is a beautiful take on Russian history and folklore, and I loved the overarching feminist theme! The books was an amazing ending and I will probably read the whole trilogy again. #12booksin2022. October pick!

#12booksin2022 I love this series and this one did not disappoint. My September pick!

And so to bring me up-to-date on the #12BooksOf2022, this is another one that took me by surprise. I‘ve never read the Harry Potter series. I read The Casual Vacancy and though it was dreadful. So I stayed away from the Strike series. But after seeing so many people so excited for each new release, I decided to give the first a try. Since then, I‘ve binge-read most of the books series and binge-watched the TV series.

In the summer my record-keeping went to pot! So here are 3 books I read around then that were EXCELLENT (even if they don‘t directly correspond to a month!)

Oxygen Mask (US: Ain‘t Burned All the Bright) - stunning graphic novel poem/artwork.
Darkness - fascinating non-fiction around light pollution and it‘s effects
Telegraph Club: Lovely historical coming of age story, set in San Francisco‘s Chinatown.

All highly recommended! #12booksin2022

#12booksin2022 this is my August pick. I have met a Pat Conroy book I haven‘t loved. I had not read this one yet, and it did not disappoint.

#12Booksin2022. June was a lean month for my. This one was a 4⭐️. It could have been better but, I enjoyed and I am look forward to book 2.
