Welcome to Litsy!

Finishing up a mint julep for Derby Day on my porch with #sundaybuddyread book. #mintjulep #KentuckyDerby

The pull was too strong! I read a lot of horse stories, I was (am) a horsey girl.This old edition came home with me from book sale last week.

In this graphic novel, Ursa, a firefighter, crosses paths with Rafi, a Mexican immigrant. It's the story of a brief encounter between two people. Full of symbolism, with a touch of magic realism, it's a very interesting book to discover.

Mint julep & Derby. Read during pre-show.

This was a quiet, subtle graphic novel with wonderfully moody watercolor images. The story centers around a lonely, misfit firefighter and an undocumented worker from Mexico during the night of a terrible storm. Very touching and great art. 4⭐️

I‘m reading a book about a fast horse named after a dog with my devoted dog named after a bat.
