Welcome to Litsy!

What a treat! This book was such a joy to read. We start off with Lucy, (the prime character) being chaperoned by her much older cousin while visiting Florence. They are disappointed in the room they have at the pension because it doesn‘t provide a view. Enter in a man and his son, who offer to exchange rooms with them, and from there the story takes off.

“Just one of the 3,653 days of his sentence, from bell to bell. The extra three were for leap years.”

This book follows Ivan Denisovich Shukhov for a single day while he is serving a term in a Stalinist labor camp. Definitely recommend wearing a jacket and having a hot beverage nearby because it‘s gonna be cold! I could feel the chill of the Siberian winter when reading this from the warmth and comfort of my own house! 🥶

Whew, Litsy was down for a hot minute and all I could think about was how everyone NEEDS TO KNOW THE NUMBERS! 😂 But it's back up and running, so here are February's picks without further delay!! Our #BookSpin this month is TEN and our #DoubleSpin is TWENTY!!

My next post will be the #BookSpinBingo card. I am NOT tagging anyone on that post!! If you want to bingo, please just check my profile for the card. ⬇

This book has a lot of great messages and the author does a good job showing how connected we all are and that everything happens for a reason. With that said, I‘m definitely in the middle with it—neither loved it or hated it.
This was my first #bookspin read of 2023 and also a #RoryGilmoreReadingChallenge book!

Um, not really sure how to take this one. On one hand, pretty much nailed the personality of a 6 year old. Other hand, I can‘t imagine reading this to a child and they being very interested. I could be wrong, but... #rorygilmorereadingchallenge #bookspinbingo

I‘ve decided to take on the Rory Gilmore Reading Challenge! There‘s over 300 books on her list, so I‘ll be reading an hour of the book after I finish the books I‘m actively reading for my other challenges. Excited to start this one! #rorygilmorereadingchallenge

I wasn‘t sure how to feel about this book going in since it was never assigned reading. Having read The Catcher in the Rye not long ago, I was a bit concerned that it would be another angsty teenage cliche. I was pleasantly surprised by Charlie. Bits of the story were out there and some issues were barely discussed but overall I still found that I really enjoyed it. #rorygilmorechallenge #rorygilmorereadinglist #rorygilmorereadingchallenge

Very clever and silly; it was a fun little read. I‘m not sure it deserves all the gushing I‘ve seen/heard about it, but I‘d say it‘s worth knowing about. #rorygilmorereadingchallenge

I never had to read this one in school but wow. What a deep read for a book that was barely over 100 pages. My heart broke at the ending but I could understand George‘s choice, especially played out against Candy and his dog. Definitely recommend. #rorygilmorereadinglist #rorygilmorereadingchallenge #maymadness #booktomovie
