Welcome to Litsy!

Still need to downsize the stash ,went to Goodwill,oops!😄📚

I loved this book. It felt like many powerful stories woven into one—touching on WWII, the Holocaust, the Vietnam War, and more. The settings, from the American South to Rome, were beautifully described. What stood out most was the deep character development; by the end, I felt like I truly knew them. A rich, emotional, and unforgettable read. 5 stars!

An all-time fave. 💚

This is a single sentence. 😳 (Struggling slightly to get through this book.)

This is an excerpt from this book written in 1995. It refers to the Vietnam War—but it goes to show you, some things don‘t change:
“After the smoke had cleared, I promised myself I would never lose a friend over something as subjective and slippery as political belief.
‘I‘m an American,‘ I announced to all around me. ‘And I get to think anything I want to—and so do you, by God, so do you.‘”
Powerful words. Still just as true today

One of my favorite memories of my grandma is when my cousin & I convinced her to watch this with us & she was so disgusted by the implied cannibalism. 😆 She was the best. (So is Sipsy!)

Secret‘s in the sauce —
that‘s what they say; I‘d ask Frank
but he‘s M-I-A.

For @dabbe ! Fried Green Tomatoes is one of my all time favorite movies (and books!). Did a rewatch the other day & this part, where Evelyn loses it in the parking lot, is still my favorite (followed closely by the food fight!). We could all take a cue from Towanda.

Hands firmly grasping
the wheel, pedal to metal,
Towanda erupts.

There‘s just something about summer reading.
