Welcome to Litsy!

Exhausting but fulfilling day both at work & at home. Capping it off with cinnamon milk,half a palmier, & some poetry. Not pictured:Em-cat snuggled on my lap.

#CoverStories Day 29: #Music that transcends borders is what Yo Yo Ma, United Nations Messenger of Peace, creates - and this is a fantastic picturebook biography that shows exactly that. My full review including a video of Yo Yo Ma‘s historic musical performance that took place at the Rio Grande also known as the US-Mexico Border: https://wp.me/pDlzr-quq - A very timely book.

A minor ode to cake. For a book about happiness, it makes you happy to just sit and read (or even better, listen to). The author is a delight to listen to as he reads his own words, especially when he talks about cake. My only complaint is that it ended too soon. 🎂🍰🧁🥮🧡🧡

Excuse me? I‘m going to need more information. I understand what these words mean individually, but this sentence just isn‘t computing for me.

Watching this sunset right now- such a peaceful way to say good bye to the day. #resist #peace

#PoetryMatters Day 24: #Wake - this was one of the poems I asked family members to read during my mother‘s cremation service and my college kid read it aloud again during the December break when we finally released mother‘s ashes into the Persian Gulf. Found the poem in the exquisite tagged book that gave me comfort during my time of grief.

Hi! I wasn't very active last year. I wasn't posting. I didn't read many books either. I can say it was the worst reading year. Especially the last half. I started reading a lot of books that I didn't finish. But not because they weren't good. Mostly because I didn't have the motivation. I was doing a lot on myself. Would like to finish the unfinished books (maybe not all of them). But in any case, the goal is to read more books than last year.⬇️

My top 3 children's books from the list:

1. The Story of Ferdinand by Munro Leaf
2. Matilda by Roald Dahl
3. Harry Potter by JK Rowling
