Welcome to Litsy!

Beach reading

In a mad crazy week of bailing on books I was not enjoying this was the first casualty. I struggled relating to the pop culture references and was feeling jaded about this memoir that feels very “millennial blog post” in its execution. However, I do think it will find a happy audience for the right readers.
For fans of Roxane Gay, Lena Dunham and Clementine Ford.

Thanks @batsy for tagging me for #fivestarpredictions. Probably this is more likely to be books "I hope will score above a 4" . Since my 5 stars are few and far between.
Hopefully I get to all of these before the year ends - covering all the bases - Australian, NZ, Booker longlist, ReadHarder and fantasy series ;)

Who to tag ? Ghosh I don't normally do this hopefully you haven't already done this ? If not your up @Marchpane and @ClairesReads

Yes way! Okay great.
Brodie wants us to see what she sees in pop culture, that it is both wonderful and gendered, entertaining and fraught with privilege, it is what makes us and what makes us judge.
She'll get a lot of comparisons to Clementine Ford which will only prove her point that we have to stop putting women in contest and just let them exist artistically in their own right.
Funny and full of self love and criticism

Currently listening to this and so far I'm loving it! Brodie's musings on growing up in a small town, body image and feminism are so relatable it's actually a bit scary at times... (The Australian accent doesn't hurt either 😉) Can't wait to hear the rest of this amazing book!

Currently running a little poll over on my Instagram about which book I should read next... 👀 'No Way! Okay Fine' by Brodie Lancaster seems to be winning at this point.

"For fans of pop music, intersectional feminism, and that bit in Ghostbusters when Kate McKinnon whales on a bunch of ghosts (which should be everyone, really), No Way! Okay, Fine reads like a conversation with that friend that just GETS it."

My review of Brodie Lancaster's brilliant No Way! Okay, Fine is up now on The AU Review - check it out at bit.ly/NW-OF

This beautiful book, full of feminism and pop culture, is released into bookshop wilderness today!

Green tea, a good book, and a sneaky selfie 👌

I don't think I've ever connected to a memoir the way I've connected to No Way! Okay, Fine.
It's like seeing myself spread out across the pages.
I wish I could go back in time and push this book into the hands of teenage Jodie.

Chester gatecrashed my #bookmail post but he's cute so I'll forgive him.
So excited to get stuck into this book!
