Welcome to Litsy!

A solid book about music and the overall history of that timeframe.

It's weird to hear it back because I grew up with this bands, and seeing the internet change music and how it's ended up today and lot of the ideology around the internet that surrounded that era and how much has changed or in some cases stayed the same is funny to hear back now.

8) Well told history of how the Dodgers actually ended up in LA and, briefly, how they ended up in Chavez Ravine. A realistic and compassionate portrayal of the team, the struggles of Walter O‘Malley as he tried to find a way to keep the Dodgers in Brooklyn, and the reality of the deep damage done to the people of Brooklyn by Robert Moses. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ One of my favorite books about the Dodgers.

While this probably wasn‘t based on the a song, I couldn‘t keep Cyndi Lauper‘s song out of my head while I read it!

Told through the eyes of a 10 year old, this is the story of Vera, trying to figure out life, why her mom mom left her, if her mom mom has cancer, will her parents divorce, how to make friends and keep straight A‘s in school. Her anxiety is overwhelming, then throw in an AI chess board ‘friend‘ helping her figure things out. I adored this child but not so much this near future world of AI‘s and self driving cars.

While I loved Witches of New York and was excited to spend time with these women, this fell short of expectations. The characters are wonderful, but this reads like an outline of a story rather than something complete unto itself. I'm a big fan of the novella form, and believe a lot can be packed into a small package, but this just felt like it needed to be fleshed out. A great concept for a return to these witches, but a bit soulless in execution

My 2025 Book Bracket!! Next year I am going to do 2 brackets. One for my Bookspin reads and the other for the Mark Twain Awards. I promised my 9 year old granddaughter that I would read all 12 nominees with her this year. I‘m so happy she loves to read.
