Welcome to Litsy!

Today, I‘m sharing my #weeklyfavorites. The book I finished this week was The Great Abolitionist which is a Netgalley ARC about a civil rights hero. I enjoyed this book which surprised me because I don‘t like learning about American History but this book was interesting. I liked how this one was written. It was slow in the beginning but it never felt dry or boring to me.

Here‘s my review for a book I just finished reading. American History isn‘t my favorite subject to learn about but I ended up enjoying this book anyway. Will I read more books about American History? I don‘t know but I liked the musical Hamilton on Disney Plus because they made American History fun.

Release date: 4/22/24

1. My mom is on a cruise this week so I have the house to myself and I‘m watching the dog. It‘s okay because I like being by myself. I‘m going to take my dog for a walk every day, watch a livestream tomorrow afternoon that I registered for, watch The Masked Singer on Wednesday night and read.

I read some more of this book tonight and I started coloring a new picture. I‘m using my Stylus Pen that I bought recently. I like it. I‘m having this book being read to me using Netgalley‘s Read Aloud feature. It‘s a robotic voice reading the book but it‘s great for nonfiction books. I was going to DNF this book but it‘s gotten good now. It‘s a nonfiction book but it‘s written like fiction.

I started this book. I‘m not sure if I‘m going to like this book or not because I didn‘t like History class when I was in school. I thought it was boring. I still think American History is boring. This book is written like a fictional story. It doesn‘t seem like nonfiction. I‘m 60 pages into this but I don‘t feel invested yet. I‘m feeling bored. I‘m going to keep reading this but if it doesn‘t get better then I‘m going to stop reading.

Yep this appears to be part of his character

One of those books where you shake your head and think “this really happened?”

An interesting and enjoyable chronological look at Ms. Hepburn's life and career, with a little more emphasis on her career, going through each movie and play one by one, and including some great pictures.
