Welcome to Litsy!

#HaikuADay Day #4

Outside the library bookstore there‘s a bookcase of “free stuff” & I noticed a box marked “old post cards.” Of course I brought it home & opening it inspired today‘s haiku.

#CoverStories Day 26: Love shared through #Letters is finely wrought in this strange series that is a work of art with the correspondence in handwritten missives found in each page. My review here: https://wp.me/pDlzr-coy

#25Alive #Dreams a photo of a postcard in a book about Coney Island. This is of the park called Dreamland . It was the last of the early parks built, opening in May of 1904. Completely destroyed by fire in May of 1911 .

This was an adorable sequel to The Day The Crayons Quit. Jace and I are really enjoying this series! 4⭐️

#TPRC prompt 14 Wrapped in Plastic: book with dust jacket

While Pistachio is contentedly wrapped in a cozy blanket, I show up to annoy him with a book pose.

#SummerSouls #Rollercoaster I am fascinated w/all things NYC & Coney Island in particular. This book is a tale told in postcards from its grand times in the 1880s to WWI . There were 3 large amusement parks that eventually were lost to fire. Nicknamed Sodom by the Sea w/ rail connections hundreds of thousands would come per day.There is a record that 1 day in 1906 200k postcards were mailed from Coney. I treasure this book I‘ve had for decades .

#LuckyInLove Day 25: If you are looking for stories about #SoulMate(s), you can never go wrong with the Griffin and Sabine trilogy. 7 books now in the entire series. Here is Fats‘ review: https://wp.me/pDlzr-BY - I invite you, though, to not just read the post but the comments too. Very intriguing.

I kept waiting for something to happen, but nothing did.

Just in time before the start of #scarathlon, my last two #litsylove postcards are going out today! It was fun sending a quick hello to everyone (I hope my system didn't break down and miss someone), and I look forward to getting to know people better with full letters 😁
