Welcome to Litsy!

Greetings from the house of sickness!

My son went on a school trip and the gift he brought home was Covid. None of us have had it before, but we're all fully vaxxed and boostered, so it isn't *too* terrible.

I committed to entirely too many things this month. I finished the May book for #bobwhitebuddies so I'm only a book behind. I did manage to finish this month's reading for #europacollective and #KLBR. I'm behind on #beyondtheyellowbrickroad.

This was just beautiful and I finished it in 3 evenings after work. Her writing it just so incredibly good. Sorry, I'm exhausted and others are so much better at eloquent reviews. Just read this!

Recent acquisition for our personal library.

Every once in a while, you find something good at the dollar store.

This is basically pandemic + rapture + zombies. If you liked the movie Zombieland and can stomach a really sheltered teen narrator with less jokes, this might be for you.

I read books about diseases frequently but still learned things from this book geared towards kids.

1. 😂🤣 Sitting up during the day. I‘m less likely to fall asleep if I‘m in my library lounge chair. But I can if I‘m sitting for too long. At night I can only read on my side if I‘m using my Kobo.

2. I had a bunch of library holds come in and I‘m bailing on most. More of a wrong book at this time, I think. So I‘m about to start the tagged book🤞🏼

I really enjoyed all the questions of humanity this book brought up. What does it mean to be human? Are you any less human if we can't feel all the emotions? Should humanity be able to choose to be happy all the time or not? This book brought up so many questions and points where I feel like I could defend either side. Very well written. I did feel it was a tad too long and too many side characters' POVs. 4.5/5

April wrap! Another great reading month in the books. Louise Erdrich's The Sentence definitely stood out last month.
