Welcome to Litsy!

@wildalaskabibliophile made this fun Litsy Challenge. Everyone is invited to play:
1. Tag a favorite mystery you've read
2. What is your favorite way to prepare eggs?

Here's mine:
1. Since it's #throwbackthursday: From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler by E.L. Konigsburg
2. If I have to prepare the eggs, I like them over-easy on toast. But my favorite kind to eat is eggs benedict. 😂

Rereading this with my daughter was wonderful! The magic of running away to live in the MET still resonated, but I loved Claudia's journey to understand herself even more than I did as a child. I loved how the differences between Claudia and her brother Jamie helped them grow as their different personalities taught them to compromise. Her exploration of her own motivations will stay with her much longer than her week in the museum.

Today is the birthday of my muse, #EmilyDickinson, and an inspiration for my novel, CLOSE YOUR EYES, HOLD HANDS. Fun fact: many of her poems can be sung to the theme from Gilligan‘s Island. Not kidding, this is totally legit.

My wishes on the ending were not granted,

I‘m at a bit of a loss on the rating. As this is YA I wouldn‘t recommend it for that audience—kids got it rough enough already; don‘t make it harder on them.

I choose this pic for the dog (“India street dog 😢)

I could not, would not *ever* sell my dog. CA Mega Millions is currently $159 Million.

I win it, first thing I‘m gonna do is GET MORE DOGS! 🐕

This book better have a happy ending.

An unbelievable Deus ex machina ending, with return of dog.

#BookBinge Day 9: I didn‘t realize Melvin Burgess shares my initials - and he is so prolific too with such edgy themes. Got these books from a librarian friend who was downsizing her collection when she left Singapore. More of my haul from her beloved collection here: https://wp.me/pDlzr-eIv

The caption COULD be: “Look who wants to devour this book.” This is, after all, the only one of my novels with a dog as a critically important character. But two things: 1) This pic is here because this novel was published nine years ago this week. 2) My beloved Jesse is licking her chops because I am posing her with cheese on my head, a dog-plus-book trick I learned from Pamela Klinger Horn. Happy reading, my friends!

Have not read this book but looks interesting.
