Welcome to Litsy!

A summer beach (or in my case, airplane ride) read for those wanting a lighthearted story about a bookish nerd with an extended eccentric family and romance. #eryneckireads2019

Partly the tale of a religious expat (she‘s a Jehovah‘s Witness in China) and partly the tale of a woman figuring out the meaning of family, community, and cult as it played out in her own life, this memoir offers a unique perspective on the courage it takes to make a dramatic shift in one‘s thinking. As Kirkus reviews said of the book: “An intriguing read about a mysterious religion.” #eryneckireads2019 #bookstagram #memoir #nonfiction

I picked up The Illustrated History of the Snowman because, come on, snowmen ⛄️ !! I wasn‘t sure what to expect and this book really surprised me and intrigued me. It really is the history of snowmen from Hollywood and advertising to war, and beyond. It‘s a fascinating look at a beloved image and many of its various shapes and forms over the years. A super fun way to start off my #eryneckireads2019 year.
