Welcome to Litsy!

Really good short accounts of black individuals in the U. S. who succeeded despite hardships.

I'm going to read this short book I found in the Children's area of Salt Lake City public library (downtown main location). Look's interesting!

Simple words, powerful message. I was crying throughout. Phenomenal book.

Made a non-serious attempt at reading this 2 years ago but it was a little bit too difficult and dense for me then. Have the audiobook to help me along this time, which is a medium I‘m new to. Although it‘s really helping me with her prose I feel like text processed this way has a shorter half-life. It gives a strong impression but details of it leaves sooner. For that reason I vary reading with listening.

I'm so glad that I listened to this book. This book not only tells you these women's stories but gives a good look at life for the lower class during the Victorian era. There is so much to these women than history shares. It is very sad how much they are forgotten and looked over because of the nature of their deaths. #audiobook #scribd #historicalnonfiction

Informative, and easy to read, Chicago's Great Fire doesn't only look at the historical events of 1871. It also covers the sociological aspects before and after.

A really well told quest of a great granddaughter‘s determination to reunite her great grandfather‘s paintings that were separated & scattered during WWII. Moshe Rynecki vividly & painstakingly painted Jewish daily life in Poland from the early 1900‘s until his deportation to the Warsaw Ghetto in 1940. A truly heart filled memoir. #Pop21 #AboutArt #Nonfiction21 #AboutFamily #Booked21 #ContainsPhotographs
