Welcome to Litsy!

I think this book was mentioned in another I read about running. It tells about the authors journey through alcoholism and running as a means of healing. The book tells about different races he ran while also telling personal stories from his past. Enjoyable read.

I found this recording of an evening at Symphony Space with Justin Vivian Bond on Hoopla today. I became aware of Justin through the movie Shortbus. I have been interested in reading their memoir Tango, but haven't yet. This audio gave some insight into the contents of the book and their writing process.

My copy of this book was chewed up during package processing on its way to me. Thankfully, the pages were all still intact, and this gouge just adds character! Haha as for the book itself, I really enjoyed these poems. I‘d never heard of Elaine Equi until I picked up a copy of The Best American Poetry where she was the guest editor. I‘ve now read three of her books and loved them all. Her lines are often short, but she says so much in them. 5⭐️!!

I bought an ex-library copy of this book when my library didn‘t have a copy. I loved it. So good. Highly recommended! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!! #poetry

**my brother got me a kindle so I‘ve been blowing through some books without reviewing, apologies up top for the inundation of reviews by me and terrible pics**

Such a good read. A witchy take on Romeo and Juliet (ish). It was so good, the main characters were intriguing and I overall would recommend this book to anyone 4⭐️

Jughead saves the day time after time in this imaginative revisit of the Archie comics world.
- Ace rep: Jughead is asexual
- Hilarious text by Chip Zdarsky (of Sex Criminals fame)
- Joyful, colourful art by Erica Henderson (of Squirrel Girl Fame)
I needed something fun and this fit the bill.
