Welcome to Litsy!

First time in a Barnes & Noble since our local one closed just over a year ago. 🥺 One perk of going all over the Nashville area for my 11 year old‘s basketball games. This B&N was right by the courts. The two on the left are mine, the rest, his. #raisingreaders

Thing 2 likes to have a lot of options, including non-fiction and manga. He's currently reading The Murder of Roger Ackroyd.

This is the 20th time we take part in the twice yearly #Deweys #24hourReadathon ! Ten years of family readathons.

There will be no pic of Thing 1's #readathon stack, as he's audiobooking The Raven Cycle for the umpteenth time whilst working on his Final Project for his Art & Design course.

Yesterday's spring/Easter break excursion #BookHaul. Somehow only one of the books is really for me (not the tagged one). I have to share the other five with the teenager.

#BookMail for the teenager

Got her the first book of the special editions for her birthday and now she has the whole trilogy.

When the book is just too good to stop, but you have to leave for school. Teaching kiddo the second how to read and walk safely.

Current #audiobook - I'll report back, as promised, @Leniverse

When life (or the greengrocer who by now knows you) gives you chilli, you string them up to dry while your teenagers dare each other to take a bite out of one of them. 🙄🙄🙄 My daughter won, she ate a large bite and now has €50 to spend on books. 😁😁

I‘m so happy I reread this one. It is just so good. I‘ve never watched the movie. My daughter told me she hasn‘t read the book or seen the movie. We plan on reading it together this summer & watching the movie afterwards. #raisingreaders #readbannedbooks

Rainy day trip to the book store with the kids. Grabbed two books each. The library ghost is such a cute little book!!

Today, in the UK we celebrate World Book Day. I saw so many children walking to school in some great outfits. I love the fact that every child will receive a book token today which can be exchanged for a book. This could be the first book that some children may own. Encouraging the next generation to read is so important ❤️💕

For our 'special reading time' our 8 yo and Fire Raptor went with a Magic Tree House comic. It's too bad only 7 of the Magic Tree House books have been made into comics. He is capable of reading chapter books but his confidence isn't quite there yet so he much prefers to read comics. It's safe to say he'd enjoy many of these books because of the nonfiction blend. Hoping he gets into the chapter books eventually for this reason.
