Welcome to Litsy!

My #SweetValleyReRead is getting to the books I‘m the most excited to revisit! My original copy of this book is actually a misprint so this is the first time that I‘ve read pages 90-123 (56-90 are included twice in mine!)! Grounded from driving, Jessica rebels & sneaks out on a date with dropout Rick Andover. She gets caught at the seedy roadhouse bar, Kelly‘s & doesn‘t correct the cop who thinks she‘s Liz! Liz suffers rumors & mopes about Todd.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I enjoyed this graphic novel about twins! A great story for middle schoolers about middle schoolers. I loved getting to know these twin sisters and will absolutely be reading the 2nd book in the series. I appreciate a well done book for kids that can even pull me in as a young adult. Quite an enjoyable read for me.

Currently Reading. I have an ARC of her next book, but realized I haven't read her last.

Honestly, I don‘t know why I finished this series. It took me four years to get through six books. It wasn‘t for me but happily, I know someone who is really excited to take these copies off my hands.

Life, too, is like that. You live it forward, but understand it backward.

Meh. I'm ready for this author to go back to writing about pirates.

A apt title, I really enjoyed the play on words. Cutting For Stone is part of the hypocritic oath. If you cannot handle health/surgery talk this is not for you. Verghese pulls a lot from himself - he is an Ethiopian -American doctor. His MCs are Ethiopian twins born of doctors who become doctors. The background of the Ethiopian revolution. I was a bit nervous about this but it was very readable, the characters are vivid and the pacing is perfect.

"The hospital 's old septic tank was located here, deep underground, and for years it has overflowed before it was taken out of use. USAID concrete, Rockefeller funds, and a Greek contractor named Achilles had built a new one "

Try as I might this will not be the book that doesn't remind me how far America has fallen. To be reminded that we used to help the poorest of the poor across the globe ?
