Welcome to Litsy!

I get that this book caught some attention, but I just couldn't care much about Oscar's misfortunes. Not very wondrous, but repetitive and clichéd.

I learned a lot about Dominican history, which I honestly knew nothing about. That's a big plus, thank you #foodandlit

The vulgar narrator may be a provoking idea, but it left me with the feeling that this is what you do when you have nothing else to contribute.

Hilda Burgos author of middle-grade novels Ana María Reyes Does Not Live in a Castle,Miosotis Flores Never Forgets and this book. The daughter of Dominican immigrants, she lives with her family near Philadelphia, where she works as an environmental lawyer.

All her books are excellent. I read this one once a week to kids in similar situations: do not have a bed or bedroom or sleep elsewhere at night.

#FOODANDLIT 🇩🇴 Dominican Republic

Started to listen to this one for #FoodAndLit 💥 it‘s pretty powerful so far. I‘m really enjoying the audio of this :)

My #FoodAndLit #DominicanRepublic book won‘t be here until Tuesday, but I couldn‘t wait to make this Dominican Chimi Burger. 😋
I still have plenty of recipes for the rest of the month, so it‘s okay. 🇩🇴

Starting this one tonight on audio! I love the way the book is written as a conversation and the narrator really brings it to life.

This book will cover two 2023 challenges:
#FoodandLit Dominican Republic
#ReadHarder2023 (BookRiot) Listen to an audiobook performed by a person of color of a book written by an author of color.

OK, so we are 5 days in, but here is my February TBR. I won‘t read this many books & as always, it‘s subject to change to my mood, but I think I‘ll get through the first couple of rows including the books from #SundayBuddyRead #Pemberlittens #DiverseCozy #SeriesLove2023 #FoodandLit and #IndependentWomen buddy reads.
