Welcome to Litsy!

“Shoshana Nambi‘s narrative includes universal themes of community and belonging with the unique cultural traditions of Ugandan Judaism. Set against Uganda‘s picturesque geographical backdrop, this story authentically portrays the Abayudaya community, challenging conventional perceptions of Jewish identity and emphasizing the diversity within global Judaism.“ Read the full review here: https://wowlit.org/on-line-publications/review/xvii-1/10/

I ❤️ Rebecca Solnit.

This is a different book by Auntie Fay, not in the database.

Always Was Always Will Be is an excellent book of the history of First Nations protest movements in Australia. Suitable for middle grade and up, but I learned things also. Recommended.

The lovely @Texreader has reached a milestone! And she is kind enough to have a Giveaway. Check her page for details.

What I like most about Litsy is the community of book lovers. Everyone is so very kind and welcoming. I don‘t know how many times I have called many of you, when talking to others, my book friends. Because you are.

#5JoysFriday

1) Daffodils, sunshine & fresh air
2) Seeing the most spectacular double rainbow of my life. I wish my pic was better.
3) The distraction of #LitsyTOB
4) Mammogram done, last Pap Smear of my life done! Measles antibody test done. All good news!
5) Pippin. Thankfull for goofy puppy play & evening snuggles.

Folks, I am TIRED! For whatever reason, exacerbated by lack of sleep, I‘m feeling the weight of it all today. Your joys help! 🩵

“Christians, especially ministers, so often think they must always contribute something when they‘re in the company of others, that this is the one service they have to render. They forget that listening can be a greater service than speaking. Many people are looking for an ear that will listen. He who can no longer listen to his brother will soon be no longer listening to God either. This is the beginning of the death of the spiritual life.”

3.5 ⭐Once again this book feels like Kristen Bell. It has the same message as the “The World Needs More Purple People”. That message is to be who you are but to also listen and look after others. To ask questions to be respectful and give others as much time as you want for yourself. That everybody is equal because they are a person. I love the message of this book and the ideas behind it.

Just completed my first book for #Sharreadathon. I read this in high school but didn‘t remember much of it. As usual, I got so much more out of it as an adult.
