Welcome to Litsy!

"...you told me how you got your eyes blowed out in an explosion...can you remember what you used to see before that...?"
"...I do remember things like they were then...Sometimes I fill up my dark world with people of all kinds of colors...I think sometimes if all the people in the world were made up of colors like that instead of just some black and some white, it would be a happier world..."
"Maybe your world's prettier'n ours."

...it's so important to be ready when your time comes... it's a matter of givin' more to this world than you take away from it. So when you die you don't owe it anything. It's bein' able to love when you want'a hate-to forgive them that work against you-to tell the truth even when it hurts-to share your bread, no matter how hungry you are yourself. Dyin' comes easy when you know you've done all these things right.

Last night‘s scores from the book swap after my extra exam ballet lesson. It was nice to walk home after in the warm evening air with the full moon rising. Summer is on its way to save me! I also scored the stool from next to the bins downstairs. Yay for a new pot stand!

First time picking up a true crime book (till now it‘s only been documentaries & podcasts for me). Not sure if I like reading it as much as watching/listening, but overall a pretty enjoyable read.

And surprisingly found this one on one of my bookshelves. I remember reading it a long, long time ago and finding it fascinating. Gonna re-read.

As always Beverly Jenkins books are just magic for me everytime❤️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A 10 out of 10! At times hard to read (likely given the nature of my profession), but a worthwhile read. #BookEighteenOf2025

Meet Sweet Potato, the latest addition to our home. He's itty bitty and ridiculously cute!! 😻
Finished the tagged book. It's a great story and weaves in a lot of voices and themes. It has a slow start but once it got going, I was hooked. The book's style feels old-fashioned, and so I do wonder if many kids today would enjoy it.

My next two reads! First up is a re-read, In Cold Blood. Breakfast At Tiffany's is one of my top 5 favourite books, but I have no recollection of In Cold Blood. Looking forward to diving in. #BookEighteenOf2025

Started the tagged book on audio. It's been on my Goodreads TBR since 2014 and today felt like the right day to start it. In the mood for some children's lit!
And enjoying my blooming peonies from the garden. 💮💮💮
