Welcome to Litsy!

Back home after my Christmas travels. April is very happy I‘m back, and I‘m enjoying the snuggles 🥰 #CatsofLitsy

Mocha and grilled cheese and reading time then off to Petsmart 🐈‍⬛

A beautifully tragic retelling of the first few days of the Hulk from a seasoned, but still traumatized, Banner to his psychiatrist friend. Not only does it tell a strong story of his past, but the psychiatric evaluation of events are subtle but very powerful. Hulk is drawn with exaggerated proportions, but of course Sale would know how to portray him as both innocent and terrifying. A brilliant entry to the Loeb/Sale Marvel colors series.

Enjoying my usual egg and cheddar with on a cheddar chive biscuit, but with a gingerbread latte and a slice of cheesecake while enjoying the tagged. Grocery shopping after this.

My favorite Marvel character, the sorcerer supreme protects the human realm from evil forces with the use of magic

“Sometimes, it's not about being invisible—it's about finding the courage to be seen.“

This book could link to my teaching by helping students explore themes of individuality, self-acceptance, and peer dynamics, which may also foster discussions about inclusion and empathy in class. These themes align with many social and emotional learning goals.

This book was written in 2019 and it is a graphic novel that won the Newberry Honor Award. The book follows a young boy who mysteriously gains the power of invisibility and must navigate the challenges of middle school, friendships, and self-acceptance while keeping his newfound ability a secret. Along the way, he learns valuable lessons about identity and the importance of being seen for who he truly is.

Another marvelous reread. Though I surprised myself by being less satisfied by the ending than I was the first time. As much as there is a full arc for the main character, there are platonic and potentially romantic relationships feel like they were just getting started. Likewise, there's a major character or two who, while the backstory was important, I also feel is just getting started in their own arcs. 1/2
