Welcome to Litsy!

Hey all. I am still trying to get caught up from December. I finally have my challenges totaled. Not too bad. Didn‘t finish as many as normal but I came close. Here is the breakdown.

Compleated:
Goodreads goal
Story graph goal
LibraryThingGoal
#ReadwithMrBook @MrBook

Close but no cigar
#LitsyAtoZ children‘s 25/26 (damn you letter x) @BookishMarginalia @WanderingBookaneer
#LitsyAtoZGN 19/26 (harder than I thought it would be.
👇🏻

Here is my 2020 wrap-up:

Despite a few slumpy periods, I exceeded my total goal. 43 of the 202 were children‘s picture books so that helped.

I didn‘t complete all the prompts or authors for #Booked2020, #ReadWithMrBook, or #AuthorAMonth, but I‘m already plotting and planning for 2021. 🤓

I just missed my goal of reading 35 books that I own. Let‘s not talk about how many Kindle books I bought this year. 🤦🏼‍♀️

I joined #Bookspin and ⬇️

I read this because I‘m helping my 10 year old granddaughter with a project about it. Bud‘s mom died when he was six and now he‘s 10 and wondering who his dad is. He thinks Momma left some clues and he starts hunting, even though it‘s a big risk. It‘s 1936 and the Great Depression. He‘s a little black boy who shouldn‘t be wandering. And I loved following his adventure!

@MrBook

#readwithmrbook @MrBook done!
And what a delightful way to finish! I‘ve never read Kate DiCamillo before 🤦‍♀️ but decided to try one for the Newbery winner challenge.
I loved this adorable story, the humor, the way the narrator addresses the reader, particularly when encouraging us to look up words in the dictionary!
A lovely experience on audio.... when my retail life is exhausting right now, this made for a great commute! 💕🎧

I‘ve always heard good things about this book, but probably would never have read it had it not been for #readwithmrbook.

It was surprisingly powerful for a kids‘ book and so well-written. Are you still enjoying reading it to your son? @Caroline2

Thanks for a great year-long challenge, Jason! @MrBook

I've read this book in autumn. Loved the movies based by this book and watched it so many times. So I really wanted to read this book and don't know why I didn't read it before. It was a great book, I loved it and was sucked in the story immediately. It was so different from the movie that movie disappointed me. Vivian was a badass heroine, she was brave strong and amazing. This is going to my favourite shelf.

I was not prepared to be so affected by this book! My first Atwood and I must say I am impressed. It‘s disturbing and sad and totally plausible. It‘s the female version of 1984, and being a woman, this hits closer to home.

I loved this audiobook. Characters were so conecting and they were really good friends. The story was unpredictable and suspense.
