Welcome to Litsy!

This authors collective is having a 50% sale off of ebooks today! Seems to be largely speculative fiction. Time to stock up on Le Guin!

(Oddly enough, I read a flash fiction anthology with this title and I don't think it's the same one. I guess it was a popular idea. Oh wait, I just remembered I read *both* of them, for a #URC prompt of two books with the same title! The other one (Charlie Jane Anders) was better.)

I recently re-read this collection of essays and was again astounded by the bravery, courage, & strength of the women who authored these stories. I‘ve included a picture of a quilt that I saw at the modern quilt guild in Pasadena CA several years ago. The artist quilted this by having women write the words “nevertheless she persisted.” It was breathtaking and timely. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Happy #internationalwomensday everyone!

To celebrate, we want to hear about your favorite books with strong female leads!

Same, Erin. Same. 👻😄

Really enjoying this collection of short stories so far. I‘m 1/3 through the collection and all have been hits so far. Hopefully there are no (or very few) misses!

(This is the wrong book title.. this is a review for Nevertheless WE Persisted by Amy Klobuchar (and others). (#netgalley ARC) This is a collection of essays by a wide variety of people geared for YA. Some are (much) better than others. I was expecting it to be all women‘s stories, but it is not, and that‘s okay. I do think this book could have done with some better selection but many of the stories were very moving.
