Welcome to Litsy!

A slow-paced novel that was enjoyable. Missy Carmichael is an elderly woman who has lived a relatively good life. There are ups and downs along her path, the same as we all have. Kids all grown and live on their own. Lonely and needing to fill her life, the novel kept me turning pages. 4/5⭐️

Bob and his birds! 🥰 Shea's glorious use of colour is on full display, accompanied by another sweet and silly tale, this time featuring an hilarious attempt at sneakiness and a charmingly clueless journey to a change of heart.

Okay, I have a new favourite. 🥹 I love the art style, the adorable narrative, the monster lineup, the message of friendship, sweet and cheeky.

I mean...yeah. 🤷🏼‍♂️🍕🐻

The story is sweet and silly, the art is fun, but what really got me was the use of colour. I maintain that well-illustrated picture books are an exceptional source of creativity and inspiration. Plus: cute! ☺️

This is a cute book. Why is Bear wearing only underwear in public? Well, because grandma sent them to him, of course. #ISpyBingoNov @TheAromaofBooks

Loved this story of 2 friends in 1970s Iran. Ellie & Homa bond when they‘re young & reconnect in high school. Their earnest friendship is so relatable. As they grow that friendship remains part of who they are despite the revolution & changes happening around them. The book deals w/big issues: women‘s rights & immigration, but it is so character driven, the issues never feel heavier than their connection. Their story broke my heart & gave me hope.

Two men have become friends at college. Turning 50, they still are. And so are their wives and daughters. During a weekend that the two families spend together something happens that changes everything. All of them have to decide what‘s true and what isn‘t and how to go on from here.

An interesting premise but the author needs way too many words to tell the story. That makes it
an okayish read but not a ToB-worthy one.
