Welcome to Litsy!

I have several large memory gaps from childhood, so this was hard to answer! This is my best recollection.

My favorite is The Witches by Roald Dahl. My 4th grade teacher read this to her class every year. She had an epic, powerful Grand High Witch voice. I remember hearing it echo down the hall in 3rd grade & hoping that I'd get Mrs. Abrams the next year. I liked reading before her class - I LOVED it after.

I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it (some I‘ve had so long I don‘t even remember why!). Feel free to join in!

Kaysen Emory is turning 9 in exactly one week, but we did her pictures early since we are going to TN for her actual birthday. So here she is as Matilda for her 9 year photos 📚

A witch in this book would #Disguise herself as a normal woman. A fun spooky read & the movies (1990 & 2020) are good & pretty scary too. 🪄🖤

October #bookspin pick

So happy this is my pick, one of the few Dahl books I haven‘t read.

I was torn between pick and so-so. This is my 2nd read and my kids love it, but reading it out loud sucks. I love Roald Dahl and usually love his made up words but the giant only speaks in them. So my kids stop me from reading to discuss what does he mean? Eventually I just read the words he was intending to say so we could get into the story and just said some like phizzwizard.

Fun book about Roald Dahl's further adventures as a young man. In Africa and as a RAF pilot in N. Africa and Greece during WW2.
