3✨ I don‘t completely understand why there was the secret. This is why I didn‘t rate it higher. This is the type of story that needs to be told. Sometimes it seems that history is being erased because it offends someone. In reality it should offend you because it was wrong and that‘s why change was sought. I think I heard about the horrid injustice before, but didn‘t remember until it was explained in this book. Read for #MGBuddyReads @megnews

3⭐
This was actually the April pick for the #MGBuddyReads but I flaked out (as is my way) and ended up reading it for a #ReadYourSign prompt. I'm really glad I did actually read it. Ally is a great character as are all the characters. A sweet book.

1 of 5 books complete

ramblingsofareader “Hoomans are strange” should definitely be the official catchphrase of #catsoflitsy 😹 5y

Another one that fits a #readyoursign prompt (*ahem* that I should have read for the #MGBuddyReads....)

Balibee146 Have had this sitting to read then pass on to my sons teacher.... Guess I have time now 🙄 5y
Angeles That book is one of my sons favorites! 5y
Sace @Balibee146 lol. I've had too much time but apparently no brainpower. 5y

Sace @Angeles it sounds really good. 5y
Balibee146 @sace the same here... In nearly 7 weeks lockdown I have read 3 books.... I'll look back at that aspect of this time in disbelief but I just can't settle! 5y
Sace @Balibee146 exactly. Apparently TV is the only thing I can manage right now. 5y

The worst part of travel prep is deciding which books to bring. This is just a preliminary list of priority books. Most of them for a read along here on Litsy. I could change my mind in a few hours.

Just because I need to finish - Zorro

rabbitprincess Totally hear you on the challenge of deciding which books to bring! Looks like a good list so far. Have a good trip! 5y
Sace @rabbitprincess I guess I should bring an iPad and ebooks along, but there's something about reading physical books when on vacation. 5y

Soooooo...yeah, in my mind this Sunday is January 31st, you know the last Sunday of the month reserved for the #mgbuddyread But apparently according to the calendar this Sunday is Feb. 2nd. So we'll be discussing this book a little late 🤦

TheBookHippie It‘s that way in my mind too ..so carry on ..❤️🤪🤷🏽‍♀️😂😂😩 5y
Lmstraubie @TheBookHippie 😖🤪🤯 lol thx for understanding 5y
sblbooks No problem, it'll be worth the wait. 5y

Daisey Lol! That‘s a perfectly understandable reason for needing to wait for a few more days before discussing. 😂 5y
Peddler410 I‘m just glad to know my Litsy feed isn‘t broken 😂 I thought I might have accidentally muted the hashtag or something. 5y
LinesUponAPage Is there any way to follow a hashtag on Litsy? I keep missing the announcements for the #mgbuddyreads I‘m getting frustrated I‘ve missed some good books and good discussions. 5y
JaclynW No worries! I'm glad I didn't miss it! 5y
Lmstraubie @JaclynW @Peddler410 @Daisey @sblbooks You can't make this stuff up lol thanks for understanding ❤️ 5y
Lmstraubie @Lifeisasnap I'm not sure how to follow a hashtag, but know that I haven't posted much recently in regards to the #mgbuddyread I know you can search the hashtag. I will be sure to tag you in any future posts. 5y
LinesUponAPage @Lmstraubie Lisa, you tagged me for this one that‘s how i knew, so thank you. 5y

I sat down to read a few pages and ended up reading it all in one sitting. Perhaps overly simplified, but then again lots of information for the intended audience.

And another one to check off the #Booked2020 list. (2 Hat/Head covering)

Can't sleep. Might as well post my #WeeklyForecast.
@Cinfhen

PS- Aaaargh! Everything starts this week! #Booked2020 #MGBuddyReads #readingEurope2020 and have I put any of those books on my forecast? Noooooo. 🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️

BarbaraBB Those challenges are killing 😂. Sleep well 😘 5y
ljuliel It‘s a bit frustrating, isn‘t it ? If you have a certain book you want to read next, but it won‘t fit any of your challenges ? Then you have to decide whether to read it, or put it aside to pick a challenge book. That‘s what my brain dies, anyhow. 🧐 5y
Cinfhen NO PRESSURE!!!! We have 365 days😊❣️😘 5y
Sace @ljuliel I generally force a book to work 🤣 5y
Sace @Cinfhen I know.... But I'm afraid if I keep putting it off I won't get to anything! Damn my slow reading. 5y
