Welcome to Litsy!

I picked this up based on @Aimeesue ‘s review, and I‘m glad I did! Originally published in #1981 , this YA historical fiction covers quite a lot of heavy topics. Russian displacement, eugenics (yikes!), and war are a few of the big ones. There are some very horrible characters, but the MC Anna‘s outlook on life is so grownup and inspiring. And yes, at its core, this is a romance; it‘s fun to watch things unfold! #192025

I bought this book when I was vacationing in Oxford after visiting a pub, one of my daughter‘s favourites, in Jericho.

There is a lot of love for Morse in Oxford! The photo is from the Morse Pub @Librarybelle the Randolph Hotel where Colin Dexter did some of his writing.

So my work surprised me today with a cake with one of my favorite quotes. #39tripsaroundthesun #TodayIam39yearsold #1981

I can't remember much about #firstgrade so I'm glad to have this book. I did have some wonderful teachers, I can remember that. #memories #1981

I remember, they had a red white and blue old fashioned tub we all like to sit in to read.📖🇺🇸
