Welcome to Litsy!

Popped over to beautiful Bruny Island for a couple of nights. Surprised to see so many tourists in the middle of winter.
They have 6 little libraries on the island, made by the Men's Shed. I've visited 5 and will swing by no.6 on the way to the ferry.

I finished this tonight sitting on the back patio, listening to the birds, and enjoying our little slice of nature. I admire Bonhoeffer and there‘s a lot of wisdom in this slim book. His German idiosyncrasies do come through, as when he said “we should train ourselves to set apart for it a regular hour for [meditation] as we do for every other service we perform. This is not ‘legalism‘; it is orderliness and fidelity.” But much here is universal.

Spent a peaceful couple of hours at the library & library bookstore this morning. The New Books shelf always draws me in first. 📚📚📚

Library morning,
Unread stories call to me,
New Books shelf beckons

“Shoshana Nambi‘s narrative includes universal themes of community and belonging with the unique cultural traditions of Ugandan Judaism. Set against Uganda‘s picturesque geographical backdrop, this story authentically portrays the Abayudaya community, challenging conventional perceptions of Jewish identity and emphasizing the diversity within global Judaism.“ Read the full review here: https://wowlit.org/on-line-publications/review/xvii-1/10/

I ❤️ Rebecca Solnit.

This is a different book by Auntie Fay, not in the database.

Always Was Always Will Be is an excellent book of the history of First Nations protest movements in Australia. Suitable for middle grade and up, but I learned things also. Recommended.
