Welcome to Litsy!

From debut author Maleeha Siddiqui , a modern spin on the Parent Trap trope. Funny and realistic characters and dialogue.

Beautiful! Definitely want a hard copy for my classroom library.

I read 34 books in September, so many amazing books as I was working through the Caudill nominees on audio and some fun graphic novels as well. My standouts were:

Wash Day Diaries
Batter Royale
The Consumption of Magic
Legends and Lattes
A Thousand Questions
Fighting Words

Hope I have just as great a month in October!

An inspiring middle grade novel. I really loved the focus on working hard & believing in yourself even when others don't seem to. This book was definitely a bit lighter than Amal Unbound. I absolutely loved Amal so was glad to see her character return here, but also liked the shift to a young, male & his own struggles growing up.

I'm not entirely sure what to say about this book.

I didn't love it, but I did find it compelling in a melancholic way. Parts were reminiscent of A Handmaid's Tale, if it were set in a different culture and told from a slightly different perspective.

Overall, I'm still going to call it a pick, but with somewhat less enthusiasm. Read with caution. This is not a happy story, but it does have important things to say.

What does a cat on a chair have in common with my reading habits?

They're both inscrutable.

Started a new book over the last day or so and at about 100 pages, I'm still not sure what I think of this one.
