Welcome to Litsy!

It's Oscars season at my house. Which means taking on the challenge of watching all the nominations before the awards 😳! I'm working on the shortlist because this year we will have the shortest amount of time between announcement (Jan. 13) & awards (Feb. 9) to watch all. This documentary is wonderful! Truly inspiring and I wish I could have met Toni. It should be shortlisted for Best Documentary, but it is only up for Best Song. Watch it on Hulu!

Absolutely had to get the UK version of this Toni Morrison, known as THE SOURCE OF SELF-REGARD in the U.S. Also picked up some Audre Lorde.

Paradise is a beautifully written, tragic novel centering around a conflict between an insular town and a nearby but separate house of misfit women. As always, Morrison‘s writing is poetic, profound, and emotional. I think this is one of her best. #tonimorrison

Friday night reading with my companions cat nephew Dac, and dog niece Shandy as we remember the life of #ToniMorrison.

Today is #audibleday and I chose a Toni Morrison novel, narrated by her. I listened to the sample, and her measured, intelligent, wise voice gave me chills in the middle of this busy coffee shop. #tonimorrison #love #newbooks #audiobooks #audible

Thank you, Ms. Morrison, for your words & thoughts & stories. Our world will be a bit darker without your insight to the human experience, but heaven just got a bit brighter. #tonimorrison #restineternalpeace #thankyou

My local bookshop put up a nice little twist to the usual #RIP tribute to #ToniMorrison yesterday. Rest In Power, and thank you!
