Welcome to Litsy!

May 11, 2025 Happy Mother's Day to all the hardworking fearless strong compassionate mothers out there who do EVERYTHING for their kids. Today I am starting this TBR. I sort of started it but never finished it so I am re-reading it again.

A while since I delved into the world of
28 Barbary Lane and with Aids now having begun its impact the 'family' Michael at a loss enjoys a London flat exchange with a naval officer awol from the Royal yacht. Mary Ann and Brian, meanwhile, are unsure about trying for a baby as Mary Anne's TV career blossoms. Loved it and love this community. I'll try not to leave so long until the next.

Got a #pantone2025 match for this recent read!

A good MG story about a girl‘s soccer team who fight back when their sexist male coach crosses the line. It‘s kinda sad and infuriating though that a MG book had to be written about this subject, but I‘m glad it‘s out there for any young girls who might need it.

I enjoyed this story of a JH aged competitive girls‘ soccer team. The relationship between the sisters who rely on each other when Mom is busy or distracted by a new boyfriend was fantastic, and the team relationships felt very relatable as well. I did feel like things wrapped up a bit too easily at the end without as much detail as I would have liked, but that‘s my adult opinion.

The cropping feature on this is horrible! Anyways, Book 6 for 2025, was a book I saw ads for on social media and reading the blurb it peeked my interests. The granddaughter of a convicted serial killer is wrapped in an investigation when new killings resemble the style of her grandfather. Cue in dysfunctional family relationships (marital and familial) and you have a tidy, cozy mystery! 4 ⭐️

Well written ode to parts of the City by the Bay and to its history. Great addition to the many books about it by someone who knows it well.

Also reading another book about the SF bay area.
