Welcome to Litsy!

Finished my last chosen book which was fab. Now have 2 days to catch up on The Book of Trespass for #fabulousfebruary #readathon

Loved this selection of short essays. Clever musings on modern life.

It was nice to read a non fiction book. I listen to a lot of non fiction podcasts and read long form journalism for that fix usually. Found this from her podcast 'the high low' and borrowed from a friend. It wasn't exactly groundbreaking and I found her stream of consciousness style and repetitiveness a little irksome, but also acknowledge I've referenced it in conversation many times since reading and a few of her chosen quotes were poignant.

This was incredibly relatable to me as a white, British, middle class millennial woman and I enjoyed reading it. Having said that, I worry it‘s too easy to fall into the trap of reading books that are about my exact life rather than extending my worldview to other people with different lives. Her cultural criticism observations about our lifestyle were true and interesting for sure but it did make me itch to expand my horizon more.

Here‘s what I‘m #readingnow for #summerfunbucketlist

I‘m reading too many things right now, I‘ve got myself in the middle of too many very long books again. I‘m enjoying all of them but I should try to read some shorter books in between next time! @StayCurious
