Welcome to Litsy!

A detailed biography I enjoyed how it went through his career in chronological order with insights into his record deals,albums, his bands and his side projects.Having been a long time fan through most of his musical journey I loved the nostalgic throwbacks to his albums and music and movies and the little nuggets of insights along the way.A must read for any Prince fan or anyone with a curiosity about his music and or the music business. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Doing a second #TuesdayTunes post for my late mother-in-law, who passed away nine years ago today. Prince died the day before her & I always think of her when I hear “Purple Rain”. She loved the color purple and she loved music. 💜

Read for #ChildrensClassicRead2025
I enjoyed the artwork in this version of the classic fairy tale. I went back & read the Grimm‘s version online to see the gentling down in the modern versions (like princes being banished rather than beheaded for not discovering the mystery). A quick & nostalgic read. 💛

#Naturalitsy #HyggeHourReadathon

Spending my #HyggeHour reading the tagged book for #ChildrensclassicRead2025 & since that won‘t take long, I‘m going to read The Answer Is No from @JacqMac ‘s #AuldLangSpine list on my Kindle. Noshing on dried cinnamon Fuji apples & drinking apple chai tea.

I‘m so not ready for another crazy work week & the general crazy that will happen starting Monday. 😵‍💫

TRANSA was a compilation album from last year highlighting the work of trans and non-binary artists. My second favorite song on it is a cover of "I Would Die 4 U" with Lauren Auder and Wendy & Lisa, which led me to a deep dive of W&L.
Members of Prince's band The Revolution, they have been recording since 1986 and also write for TV and film, including the Emmy-winning theme of Nurse Jackie.

This was my favorite fairy tale as a kid because of Shelley Duvall's Faerie Tale Theatre. I watched her production of The Twelve Dancing Princesses countless times. I was so excited to find it on youtube:

I included a couple retellings in my photo. I'm reading Salt and Sorrows as a companion read. Kingfisher was from a few years ago.

This is another sweet, short story of beautiful, unique love. I love this just as much as I love The Solstice Prince. I love the idea as a human to love being part of (or the only part of) a dragon‘s hoard.

I‘m planning to go to the library to find the Grimm‘s Brothers version, but here are three versions I‘m reading of our #ChildrensClassicRead2025 book for January

I‘m getting an early start on my Litsy required reading for the month. I‘ve never read this one before. It‘s interesting and did not end the way I expected it to. Thanks for organizing @TheBookHippie ! 4⭐️
