Welcome to Litsy!

IT'S RELAXING TIMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMME!!!!! Bring on more of the ghosts!

Few minutes with my Becoming journal and a book of Christmas ghost stories I got from the shop at work (I don‘t normally read a lot of Christmas books but the globe is knocking it out of the park with the selection this year!) before meeting a friend for lunch. The becoming journal is great and very thoughtful too - I feared it would be a cynical cash grab but it‘s actually rly lovely.

“My parents‘ names are Rebecca and Jeremiah, by the way,” he whispered as I approached him.

I laughed, jittery. “Got it. So even though they‘ll be too busy screaming at you, and they can‘t hear me anyway, I‘ll at least be able to address them properly?”

This was a fun read with some solid positive messages. The story combines a family‘s struggle to return to a life in New Orleans with the story of the author of an unpublished comic from the 1950s. There‘s also a great ghost story. It‘s told in chapters interspersed with a few pages of comic panels. I thoroughly enjoyed how all the pieces were woven together.

Relaxing time for me!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know some people didn't really care for this book, but I think it's good. I am loving this little new kind of love between the 2 main characters. It makes my heart flutter just alittle while reading it!!

“Anyway, it doesn‘t matter where we go, because I just want to be wherever you are.”

Upon hearing my words, Joshua froze with one hand on the door he was just about to open. Looking at his back, I bit my lower lip in frustration. Was I really such a moron that I‘d make a proclamation like that without being able to see his response?

After bailing on The Language of Food I'm giving this #inspiredbylitsy title a try. I've listened to the author's Borden Chronicles series and loved it. Thanks for bringing this book to my attention @Daisey !

Finished story 1 of 13 in the tagged short story collection.It was fine? I guess? I‘m still mulling it over in my head trying to figure out just what was going on. The writing style is a little difficult so I think that detracted from my enjoyment of it. Overall not bad but didn‘t give me the creep factor. Looking forward to what else this collection has in store. #wintergames #SlayBells @Clwojick @StayCurious @MidnightBookGirl

Probably not as light of a read as I was going for, but still a good one that kept me reading.

For those of you who are late to the party, like me, it‘s about two sisters. The youngest of the two has cystic fibrosis, which comes with its challenges for her and the rest of the family. This touching graphic novel depicts the girls‘ relationship, hardships, growth, and acceptance of death while they learn a bit about their culture. 💕 #middlegrade
