Ruth Bader Ginsburg: Pursuing Equality | 
One of my favorite Christmas gifts this year! A surprise from my cousin. She knows how much I love Christmas ornaments and collect them from wherever I travel. #notoriousrbg
This is a slow and steady read for me. I‘m learning a lot about RBGs life and the beginnings of the Women‘s movement. It‘s a long book 600+ pages but will be worth it in the end. Find more on Instagram Westbrookreads
pickChecked this out on audio from Libby and it was just as good as I thought it would be. Goes deep into the life of the incomparable Notorious RBG. Her legal work was far-reaching and revolutionary for women's rights, but there was so much more to her as a person. If the prospect of a 24 hour audiobook is daunting, just bear in mind that the book itself is roughly 700 pages. :) The length is entirely warranted and an easy listen.
I treated my self this week 🍁This is the one book about Justice Ginsburg that has many of her dissents and court writings. It can truly bring out the nerd in you 🤓 Plus, it does focus on her personal life, the early days in her career, and just how she lived. If you want to read a great nonfiction book, this is the one!

The kids were having fun while mommy was reading! (Or tried to read at least😉)
pickI can't say I finished this feeling like I knew a whole lot more about Ruth than I did going in. The early part of her life is pretty much the same info that can be seen in her documentary. The majority of the book is a recap of some of the biggest cases she was involved in & how the court voted. The latter part has some personal details I wasn't familiar with but not much. Still, I'm glad I read it. I appreciate her and her work even more.
Yesterday did not quite go as planned, but I managed almost 2 hours on this. Let see what I can accomplish in what is left of today!

Starting some light reading this week! 😂 This is what I like about participating in reading challenges. It pushes you to read stuff you'd otherwise put off, or not read. I definitely wanted to read RBG's bio but because it's so big I wasn't sure when I'd get to it. Because I'm doing a reading challenge with my FB book group I decided to just tackle this. It's going to take a while, sure, but I'll be happy to be able to check it off my list!
I‘m not actually reading this yet.. but I was flipping through and there are a handful of pages set in “bold” type like this. (The opposite page is normal on this one). I wonder if all the copies are like this?
For this #TwelveInTwo readathon I am going to try and put a dent in al three of these books.
Can't wait to leave the office in just a little over 40 mins from now and start on this.

Happy Christmas! My family gave me so many books as presents this year 😊🎄🎁📚❤️
Christmas Eve book exchange! My auntie and grandma got me the RBG one for me and the Tolkien is from my son and husband. They know me so well 🥰🥰. I hope all my Litsy friends have a wonderful Christmas Eve and Christmas Day!! 🎄 🎅🏻
Checked out even more library books! Couldn‘t help myself. Oh well. 😎
So excited to start this one in a few days!!!!
“Fight for the things that you care about, but do it in a way that will lead others to join you” -Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg
I saw the movie and was utterly moved; to tears at a few points. Hearing her thoughts, opinions, and motivations was utterly compelling. She‘s a true icon and champion. I am so eagerly looking forward to her biography‘s release in October. From the blurb, De Hart spent 15 years working on this and had input from RBG.
