Welcome to Litsy!

#StorySettings Day 28: The #Island is one of the most disturbing picturebooks for young people that I often recommend. At the very core of this book is an overwhelming fear of those who are different. The storytelling straightforward, the plot crystal clear with a continual build-up that puts a growing lump in the reader‘s throat as one witnesses the extent of the many atrocities people tend to commit in the name of fear. https://wp.me/pDlzr-40F

Miranda is an auto-buy author for me…I‘ve enjoyed the books of hers that I‘ve read, including this one!

First book in the new series, Harbinder Kaur Series. Loved this book.

#MayMovieMagic Day 8: #GimmeShelter says this foreigner in ”The Island.” In return, he experienced glaring xenophobia and outright rejection. While most of the stories we have featured for our immigrant theme share narratives of assimilation and a renegotiation of one‘s identity, this ‘foreigner‘ was never given that opportunity to even feel remotely a sense of belonging. My review: https://wp.me/pDlzr-40F - a truly harrowing picturebook.

This was def one of my #stranger reads from 2018 but I thoroughly enjoyed every page! If you‘re a fan of “You” by Caroline Kepnes, you should check this one out!

Sometimes I zip through IT tasks without a care; other times I feel like a #stranger in a strange land. I‘m about to throw my work computer out the window, so I‘m too frustrated now to keep butting heads with this #20things request. (I‘ve enjoyed reading everyone else‘s, though!)

So here are a few things:
-Litten since July 2016
-Live in Maryland
-Mystery fan

New followers: I‘m flattered! But please make a post as #proofoflife
