Welcome to Litsy!

LOVE IT I LOVE IT I LOVE IT I LOVE IT! Recognizing and accepting queer identity in the face of contentious cultural norms, fleshing out immigrant experience so that while the unique and possibly painful experience of immigration is not ignored, it doesn't try to be a monolith or fall into tropes, doesn't need to form the backbone of the story, interweaving fairy tales, 1/?

Here are my #CampLitsy25 picks. So many new releases to choose from and my favorite part is seeing everyone‘s choices and adding them all to my TBR! I know camp is always fun no matter what we read together this summer! Can‘t wait! 🏕️

I‘m very excited for Camp Litsy this summer and will nominate these four books that have been recent adds to my TBR. Many thanks again this year to our fearless leaders! #CampLitsy25

PHOTO CONTAINS MINOR SPOILERS ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ If there were more stars in the regular system, I would've used them. This book ripped my heart out, stuffed it with emotions, and shoved it back in. I'm so sad to be leaving this series but so satisfied with the ending. I've developed such a strong attachment to these characters and this story, I know it will stay a favorite of mine for a long time.

Since I missed yesterday‘s prompt, I‘m going for double Ds today! (Okay, that sounded better in my head!) 😆 Out Of My Brain is about a #DifferentlyAbled girl & told through #Diary entries. The follow-up (tagged) is still in my TBR.

A beautiful inspiring story ??

I thought the funniest line in the book was when Waka‘s grandma told her, “A lot of Japanese women, their butts are quite flat. You should be happy yours isn‘t.” 😂😂

As it turns out, I am beginning to enjoy biographies, autobiographies, and memoirs more than I thought I would, especially ones written for young adult readers. I like how this one felt like a fiction story about a young girl and not a chronological list of facts about the author‘s life. It made the reading easy and enjoyable.

Onto the last in The Trials of Apollo! I have high hopes for this book, and I'm really excited to be wrapping this series up!
