Welcome to Litsy!

Thank you NetGalley for sending the email letting me know that this book was available for 24 hours. Stone‘s writing draws you into a world that the reader may not be familiar with but are eager to learn more about. Each character is realistic and and well fleshed out. The pacing is medium. The settings are lush and the descriptions are captivating. #Boomtown #nicstone

NetGalley sent out an email and said it was available for 24 hours. I really like this story. #Boomtown #NicStone

First page, and I‘ve already snorted out loud. I love Nic Stone, and she‘s the perfect choice to bring Shuri to life on the page. #shuri #blackpanther #marvel #nicstone #blackgirlmagic #geniusgirls #girlswhosteam #princess #badass #shatteringglassceilingsnotglassslippers #wakandaforever #ybambe

Dear Martin and its follow-up Dear Justyce: These are both amazing, eye-opening, and heartbreaking. Both depict the social injustices that people of color (in particular, males) are faced with every.single.day. No matter what. I finished these and immediately shared with my cousin. #socialjustice #socialinjustice #nicstone #yareads #blacklivesmatter #checkyourprivilege

Between “Concrete Rose” and “Dear Justyce,” I‘ve been in my feelings all day. Both of these books are just...they‘re so important. Nic Stone has done it again. 😭 #dearjustyce #nicstone #dearmartin

Wow. Powerful novel. Can‘t wait to see #nicstone at the #virginiafestivalofthebook next week!

I'm speechless. I can't say enough about how important this book is, or how much the world could benefit from more like it. Full disclosure: I'm crying. I just...we have so, so far to go until we reach a place that Dr. King would be proud of. And it's up to ALL of us, regardless of race or socioeconomic status; we need to remember what it means to be good to, respect, and love each other. #dearmartin #nicstone

This is an incredibly written exploration of the state of the world - especially this country - right now, and so timely that, while it's enjoyable and Justyce is a wonderful protagonist, is also really upsetting because of the truths it's not afraid to speak. Not only is it shaping up to be a brilliant debut for Stone, but also the kind of book I think everyone needs to read. #dearmartin #nicstone

I can't take any more "A Tale of Two Cities" tonight. This one finally came in for me, and looks like it'll be a swift read. #dearmartin #nicstone

My next book to read until Tuesday when I pick up Final Girls by Riley Sager. #dearmartin #nicstone
