Welcome to Litsy!

Not life changing but very fun!

This book offers up viewpoints on everything pop culture from sisters born 14 years apart, placing them in two differing generations, thus the title X vs.Y. As someone who identifies with both X and Y, I am indeed its target audience. In fact recently, a new microgeneration coined Xennials came out that perhaps suits me best, but I digress. Anyway, I love analyzing pop culture nostalgia, so I expected to love this. It was ok, but nothing special.

My next read is going to be a little different than the typical stuff I teach for. All in the name of #litsyatoz #letterx

I'm going back & posting reviews of the rest of the books I finished this year! This was cute & funny, but dripped w/ upper west side privilege which I found a bit annoying. Plus I wasn't going to get as much out of it bc while I am Gen Y my 90s childhood didn't have as much pop culture in it bc of my parents rules about TV & being homeschooled, so I just can't relate to trying to one-up my elementary school friends with the newest fashions... 🙃

Being born in 1977, I'm a Gen Xer right on the cusp of Gen Y. This book brought back so much nostalgia for me from both generations. I liked the back and forth narrative between the two authors and how they were able to weave their opinions and experiences together.
#24in48 #readathon

I woke up a few minutes ago, ready to get started on the #24in48 readathon. I took a quick #shelfie and I look a bit crazed (lol) but I'm sticking with it because I have not mastered the art of the selfie. I couldn't get our full wall of bookshelves into the shot as they are 13 feet wide and 7 feet tall (built out of oak by my husband). We still have at least 200 more books that won't fit on these shelves 😂Happy reading!
