What I love about Litsy are the friendships. I didn‘t really have any “book friends” IRL…and then found Litsy. I love the community, the challenges, the swaps, my penpals and especially the people who like to read what I do and all the wonderful reviews and suggestions of what to read.
Tha k you so much for the giveaway @CSeydel

pickOne of my favorite middle grade novels was Counting by 7's by Holly Goldberg Sloan. This one was equally as sweet and hopeful. A good read for any kid who feels different or has issues in their life well out of their control.

#KindredSpiritsBuddyRead - House of Dreams Discussion - 4/3!
I completely forgot I added a short story to our House of Dreams read! Captain Jim and his life-book are based on LMM‘s story, “The Life-Book of Uncle Jesse.” Here‘s a link to the story:

It reads like a preliminary sketch that LMM fleshed out in House of Dreams. If you have a chance to read it, please share your thoughts!
