Welcome to Litsy!

4⭐️ please don‘t misunderstand me, because I really like this book. It was inspiring and eye-opening. But I have been emotional lately and I don‘t think I was in the right headspace to connect the way I could‘ve. I feel like I should‘ve hit pause and gone back to finish the read another time. So that‘s what I plan to do, despite the fact that I have finished it, I‘m gonna pick it up again later this year and reread it. #ReadBannedBooks for May.

Here is the #ReadBannedBooks and the #FriendsPick reads for the month of June. I have not yet read anything by Octavia Butler, but I‘m really looking forward to this read.

I‘m having difficulty articulating to friends the difference because library curation and banning books.

How do you guys explain the difference?

Thanks @Riveted_Reader_Melissa for the inspo.

I‘m late making my #DeweysReadathon post (it started 9 hours ago), but I thought I‘d post my stack of next-up reads while taking a little break. I also have The Wedding People and Martyr! on Kindle. The tagged book is Banned in my state (along with 16 others!) so that one is a priority. 😠

I‘m so happy I reread this one. It is just so good. I‘ve never watched the movie. My daughter told me she hasn‘t read the book or seen the movie. We plan on reading it together this summer & watching the movie afterwards. #raisingreaders #readbannedbooks

My #FriendPick And #ReadBannedBooks for April.

I almost forgot it‘s Freedom to Read week here in Canadia, but I managed to find this on my TBR. I‘m 100 pages in and not much has happened, but it‘s pretty funny and sharp. Don‘t forget to #readbannedbooks!

Happy Black History month. For the people in the back, Happy Black History month. I will be celebrating ALL month. Just like AAPI, Women, Native American, Pride, Disability, and any other marginalized group!!! Check out black authors, biographies, fiction, graphic novels, critical race theory, or cookbooks. Don‘t forget to keep reading banned books!!!! #blm #readbannedbooks #black365 #resist

This is one of my favorite books 📚

I requested all three of these books because a friend told me that an Ohio teacher has been reprimanded for offering these to her students. I don‘t know all the details but I do know and fully believe in allowing books be available to readers. Letting my library know these books are valued. #readbannedbooks #heatedblanket #bringit #lfg
