pickKate Quinn is becoming one of my all-time favorite historical fiction novelists. This one is about 4 cousins who try to stay out of the men fighting for their chance to be the next Caesar. Although they do realize they have to fight in their own unique way to save those they love. #Italy #Jubilee #FoodandLit #letterq #AtoZLitsy @Texreader @Catsandbooks
pickI‘m not exact sure how I feel about this one. I really loved the main character, Charlie; and I definitely see some value in the story, but I felt like it would have been just as powerful without a lot of the graphic imagery and excessive drug/alcohol use. I can see why it was banned in school libraries. #Booked2020 #BannedBook #AtoZLitsy (Letter P) #readingwithmaja #yafiction #june
so-soThis is the story of a woman tasked with finding the owners of lost things collected by her benefactor and two love stories intertwined. It was supposed to have an element of magical realism, but I didn‘t see it. #AtoZLitsy #readingwithmaja #setineurope
pickI only read Night as of yet. I need time between these. Truly heartbreaking, not only because of the traumatic experience of the holocaust, but also because of his loss of faith in God. 😥 #AboutGenocide #Booked2020 #AtoZLitsy
so-soI‘ve finally been able to finish a book after making about a billion masks! So...this is an interesting depiction of New York in the 1960s. I believe it takes you through all five buroughs. I also learned a new word: semaphore. The story is okay, but the historical depiction is where the value is. #NewberyEpicChallenge #AtoZLitsy (Letter I)
pickSweet and heartwarming, but takes you on a roller coaster of emotions before you get there. ❤️ #AtoZLitsy (Letter Y)
so-soThis was just meh for me. I might have enjoyed it more if I hadn‘t listened to it on audio. The narrator really bugged me. #AtoZLitsy (Letter W)
pickThis is a delightful little story about the wonder of imagination and all the interesting things you can find in your own backyard, even if all it contains is a weed and an old tomato can. Reminiscent of The Wizard of Oz as well. #ChildrensClassicRead2020 #AtoZLitsy (Letter T)
