Welcome to Litsy!

Starting a survival story of sailors held captive in North Africa.

I haven‘t been doing many individual book reviews lately but it always comes as a surprise to me when I‘m the first to post about a book so I couldn‘t let the opportunity pass me by. All middle graders will enjoy this adventurous series, particularly reluctant male readers who prefer the outdoors, camping, hiking, fishing, dogs etc. (Of note: abusive stepdad). Adults who enjoy a good road trip or nature read will also enjoy this series.

Even if he doesn‘t, they said, hanging their lives on the hook of possible disappointment. That statement left me asking myself if I will worship God even if … I want to believe that I will, so I need to live like it in the small irritating circumstances in order to build me trust for the huge traumatic situations.

3.5/5⭐️ I really enjoyed this one! The authors did a good job of keeping me exceedingly nervous during peak high-pressure situations.

Circle 31 Book Club has chosen a Biblical Fiction book for June. This quote from the Prologue is an excellent introduction to the treasure that Tessa Afshar has written.

The book made me very thirsty. I think I was drinking something the entire time. The story was interesting, though I didn‘t like any of the characters. I didn‘t care enough about them to be sad if they died, but I enjoyed the book. Doesn‘t seem that far-fetched.

A thoughtful exploration of identity, in the form of a beautiful graphic novel. Ash‘s story about finding their grandpa‘s secret cabin in the woods, and their attempt at starting a new life of their own far from family and friends had me shedding tears. 😭
