Welcome to Litsy!

A Texas fair was the scene of beginning of this novel. The main characters were a children‘s book author named Elle Portman. She took her son to the fair. Calder Hudson also attended the fair. An unknown shooter opened fire and a mystery needing to be solved unfolded. The detectives had a lot to investigate before they had any answers. the twists kept it interesting. 4.25/5⭐️

I liked this book. I liked how the characters grew and the storyline was completed. I rated the book a 3 out of 5 stars.

• I know this one is going to break my heart. I just hope it puts it back together. •

Art was a comfort to the Greeks. Through wars, natural disasters, and the cruel fates of life, art has a way of saving people, and the Greeks recognized that and used it, particularly in their tragedies. #tragedy #art #europe #normandavies #greek #ancientgreece #europeanhistory #history #worldhistory #greekhistory #arthistory

The perfect night! No stars because the lawn performance we saw began at 5:30. But the evening was lovely- low 80s, breezy, sun with billowy clouds.This summer event has become a tradition for my former, several years retired, HS English co-teacher & me. We each brought picnic food to share & caught up with each other during intermission. 💜💜💜

Medea, by Euripides (431 BCE)
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Premise: Spurned princess Medea plots revenge upon her faithless lover Jason

Review: Euripides‘ plays have stood the test of time for a reason. They demonstrate a keen and nuanced understanding of the human psyche. Is Medea portrayed as a monster or as a sympathetic victim? ⬇️

Definitely displays what life can be when someone is not in tune with what is important in life. It‘s not about how much you make, or the prestige that one has, it‘s not about what others think about you, it‘s about close relationships with the people you love and fulfilling quality time and memories with them. Call off, turn off the television, go to the beach, and read a good book. Don‘t dwell on the past and enjoy the present.

I've never read manga but I found this retelling of the Wars of the Roses in a little free library and had to grab it.
