Welcome to Litsy!

I started on November 17, 2025 & I just finished it last night on December 1, 2024

Let's say I've selected Madeline as 1939 for the #192025 Challenge in the spirit of diversifying genres with a children's book. It was absolutely not chosen because I'm running behind with the challenge.

This was one of my childhood favorites so it was fun to revisit Madeline - a true influencer, way before social media! 🤣 I couldn't just borrow one from the library, so i picked out two others. A cute, spunky girl and beautiful illustrations.

Our daughter is raising a reader! She brought her son for a 6 week visit. 💚

A beautiful story about friendships that span generations, varying backgrounds, and differences in faith. It's one of those stories that will stick with me because it is poignant, both sweet and sad.

If you have read the Olive Kettering books, you will enjoy this one as well.

I read this as a result of my trip to Nola. This book breaks down everything that went down at Memorial Hospital during Katrina and the flooding afterwards. This book covers what occurred but also many different points of view as the patients, staff, and families are left stranded with things growing more desperate by the hour. The book‘s second half follows the investigation into what occurred there and the resulting legal ramifications.

Great book to show how to get better from depression!!

While sitting in the hospital for hours and picking up my kindle again I made it out of my reading slump with Freida‘s help. #19of2025

A beautiful book 🥲😭
Lenni is so funny 😃

Read for reading challenges

4/5

It was ok. Way too long and definitely too wordy. Cute graphics throughout the book and I enjoyed her alter ego.
