Welcome to Litsy!

@Chrissyreadit Your #LMPBC package arrived 笶､�ｸ� I enjoyed going back through the tagged book with everyone‘s comments and am looking forward to diving into the other two!!! @TheBookHippie @Pigpen_Reads

Reading this poetry book felt like a powerful and emotional experience in understanding some of the trauma and resilience experienced through immigration. Other layers include generational trauma and feminist trauma. I loved every second of it and am sorry this round went sideways! Adina your notes were a perfect complement to this experience- thank you so much! All three books will be mailed today.

I'll have this out soon! #LMPBC

Sorry for the late post! I got this in the mail on Thursday @IndoorDame. I will have my book shipped out after Thanksgiving. My family and I are in Colorado for the next week. Definitely a difference from Texas! 笶��ｸ�

I‘m going to leave off saying too much about this one since it still has 3 readers in #LMPBC #GroupN and I want them to be able to see it with fresh eyes. My thoughts are in the back of the book. Also works for #FoodAndLit India this month.

@Pigpen_Reads I‘ll get this in the mail to you this weekend.

Grrrr! �沽役沽｡�沽､�洟ｯ

Group N, these are a few contemporary titles on my TBR. Let me know if any of these appeal, and which you‘ve read already. Top left is tagged above. I‘ll tag the others in the comments. (I have plenty of others including classics on my list if these don‘t work). #LMPBC

Excellent volume of poems speaking on resilience, healing, empowerment, love, etc. Pictured is one of my favorite poems in this collection.

Squeezing in a little bit of reading time this busy weekend

As a book of poetry, this is a phenomenal work, especially in the beginning. While I cannot relate to certain aspects, such as the trials of immigration, many of the poems were universal to all women and some speak specifically to trauma survivors. I was fully immersed, page after page, in these poignant bits of emotion - their raw, profound ache captivating my heart and mind.

BUT...

Left: a poem about being confident in your own body, beliefs, morals, and ideas. Right: a poem about rape, how the victim is blamed and made to feel it was her fault for the actions of others.

Bought this book from B&N for mainly two reasons 1. The author‘s name is Jasmin (my name is Jasmine lol) and 2. It was half off! It‘s a poetry/prose type book and the author is a woman of color which is icing on the cake.
