Welcome to Litsy!

I‘ve been on an essay kick lately because the collections have been so good. Overall this is a pick for me. I especially love how diverse the authors are. But it is a bit uneven.

A few days ago I greeted a visitor to one of my coworkers and helped her find her way to the right office. She was impeccably dressed, with a streak of bright purple peeking out from her perfectly cut and styled haircut. We bonded over our colors. 😀

This was an interesting #essay collection about ... hair. Hair in all its glory, trouble, and cultural implications. Arguments between mothers and daughters over hair. Going gray or not. And more!

So I just buzzed all my hair off (yay! Feels wonderful!) and I‘m wondering if any of you have read a novel where the protagonist is described as having really short hair. Any ideas?

Just finished this! I genuinely enjoyed it and don't really understand why it has low ratings. There were a couple so so essays, but most of them I liked. Getting my own copy of this book is most definitely in the future!

MY BOOKS FINALLY ARRIVED! After two more visits to the Post Office (and hearing lame excuses) they arrived this morning. I'm sure @biblio_ginger will show you later on her account what was in the box for her too 😁😍. Having a readathon later this month definitely sounds like a must...where do I sign up?

Them: "It's just hair..."
Me: (((Internally screaming)))No it's not! STFU ?
I wish I had known about this gem earlier.

I saw this one on a sale the other day, and snapped a screenshot, not only did it look interesting, but I knew it‘d be perfect for today!

A fairly uneven essay collection. Probably not the best choice to read straight through for #24in48 ? Would've been better to read a few essays at a time between other books. Loved the diversity of the authors, though!

Back home, starting my hour 6 of the #24in48 readathon. I'm a bit behind because of my fantasy football summit, but I have nothing else tonight and only a few hours of work to do tomorrow, so it should be fairly smooth sailing the rest of the weekend. Wish me luck!

Taking a break from #24in48 for my annual Fantasy Football Summit. Everyone in my fantasy football league gets together to discuss rule changes for the upcoming season, but really just to hang out and grill and drink. It's the best.

Ready to start my next #24in48 book, but Cooper here demanded some cuddles first. How could I say no to this face?! He's such a good boy.

On of the gifts to myself this year is to be more selective about my reading and permission to bail if a book no longer interests me. I have hundreds of books I want to read, and more being added every day. While this book wasn't terrible, I just found I had no interest in returning to it. So off it goes to the Little Free Library!

This book was great! It was everything I wanted it to be & so much more! These writers share their personal stories & accounts related to their hair, varying from relationships to mothers/daughters/spouses, identity, role in society, illness, feminism, & so much more! It's amazing the things you do/don't think about in relation to hair. This book covers ALL types of hair. Very funny, uplifting & empowering. Definitely has lots to talk about!!

Switching it up as summer breaks comes to an end and I enter what is hopefully my final semester of grad school.
