Welcome to Litsy!

An interesting look at those in society diagnosed with mental illness in early 20th Century.

This wasn‘t bad but I didn‘t love it. I had a hard time connecting to the characters, though I‘m not sure if the fault lies with the book or me. I chose this for the book about Appalachia prompt for the Reading Women challenge and interesting retrospect, there are much better books I could have chosen. #wintergames #TBRread #teamfozziwig

1. Set in Asheville, NC, one of my favorite weekend getaway spots.
2. Hot, but not as hot as yesterday, which set a record high for the date and was 98F. Thunderstorms later, we need the rain!
3. Double date, but both guys turned out to be interested in my friend. Super awkward night for everyone involved.
4. 1 daughter, 2 🐈 1 🐇.

"Let's sign up for cooking," I suggested to Dixie, as squares of gingerbread still warm from the oven were passed out to us all at the afternoon "social" on #Halloween.
"Not me." To my surprise, Dixie shook her head so vigorously that I could see the bluish shaved spots at each temple where they affixed the electrodes for her still-ongoing electroshock treatments. . ."

Sitting at the Biltmore Estate by the French Broad River with this Asheville based book. Not loving it so far but I'm only on page 37 so I'm sure it will get better!

Trying again to get into listening to books. This was on sale for $3.99 on #audible. Guests on Earth is a #bookclub pick, but I'll read any book about Zelda Fitzgerald.

This book is just amazing. It's poignant and vibrant. Based on factual events of an asylum in NC that burned and one of its most well known patients, Zelda Fitzgerald.
