Welcome to Litsy!

The author explores racism & how people explore & come to understand their identities from a psychological standpoint. She explains studies & their impact through a person's lifetime. As a teacher, I found these developmental & psychological studies incredibly interesting, and could see ways I might find this helpful while working w/students. This is a useful & fascinating read regarding race & the impact of racism, especially in young people.

Happy Independent Bookstore Day, fellow Littens! 😊💜📚

The hubby and I are hoping to visit two of our local indies today and walk away with most of these titles 🤞 (I've been keeping an eye on their online inventory, but that could always change!)

In addition, I hope we can do some shopping for our nieces.

Will any of you be participating in today's event?

Is there anything in particular you'll be looking for?

I loved this one! Loved how gender and race played important roles, but weren‘t necessarily the focus. And the creepiness factor...marvelous! Loved the format of Horrorstör, but this might be my new favorite from Hendrix.

This was a book that I really wanted to like, but found it so-so. A lot of character development that didn't go anywhere and a mystery that seemed second to the development.

With that said, there were moments that I enjoyed, I just wish there were less gotch-ya moments with cliff hangers. After a while, it just started to make the book predictable for me.

I honestly can't say that I can recommend this book to people who like mystery books because I am still wondering myself what exactly the mystery was. 🤔

Totally finished my first stack for #24B4Monday #Readathon so now I'm on to my second stack. I've got The Air Between Us, Snow Flower and the Secret Fan and The DaVinci Code waiting in the wings!

What do you guys got going on? 😃

Flew through it! I enjoyed this - not my usual fare. I liked the setup a bit more than the ending but it definitely kept me on my toes. Thanks for the read, @Julie548 ! I‘ll be sending it off to @TheReadingMermaid next week most likely... hoping to polish off @WriterAtHeart ‘s pick before I do! #LMPBC 📝😍🤗 #GroupO
