Welcome to Litsy!

It might be a bit of a somber choice for poolside reading, but it's also exquisitely lovely and reminding me to just breathe and be and enjoy. What more could you ask for on a sunny Sunday free of any responsibilities? #CurrentlyReading

Such a beautiful, thought-provoking, challenging book. I loved every word and want to go back some time and read it even more slowly. Maclear goes month by month, exploring her new relationship with birds and a birdwatching friend while contemplating her past and present struggles, wider ecological ones, and lifting up those who have brought her to where she is now. I also love that it‘s set in my part of Toronto!

I regret the time it seemed better, somehow, to hang back and not step forward. I regret, along with writer George Saunders, the tepid and timidi response, the moment when another ‘being was there in front of me, suffering, and I responded…sensibly. Reservedly. Mildly‘...I regret that I am not propelled more by impulse, nerve, instinct.

Here's my reading wrap-up for March, brought to you from the scriptorium. ✒📖
I finished only four books.
Look at all that non-fiction! The tagged book was my favourite.
I need to reinstate my book-buying ban.
