Welcome to Litsy!

I‘m still on a comedy kick, so why not turn to the funniest purveyor of parody? Gotta love the weirdly creative mind of this man! Remember all those hilarious parodies he did back in the 80s, 90s and 2000s (Eat It, Like a Surgeon, Tacky) Guess what? Weird Al is still at it and currently on tour. He even wrote a children‘s book! This is a crazy fun read that will send you right to YouTube to reminisce and rewatch your favorite parodies. 😁🙌🏻

September #bookspin list ~ let‘s go

Beautiful day for some outside reading in the backyard. It is almost sweater weather today and probably will be this evening. Starting the reread of the #OhCanada book. Will post a discussion post on August 31st.

“Healing isn‘t a freeing experience when you‘re in the middle of it. It feels like land mines are exploding and ripping your flesh apart. Everywhere you step is dangerous.”

Powerful and raw. Knott writes about her struggles with addiction and abuse as an indigenous Canadian. Reminded me also of “Tattoos on the Heart” with its appeal to withhold judgment.

Trigger warnings for drug use, sexual assault and abuse.

Helen Knott‘s father was sent to a residential school,so he had no role models as to how to parent.But he did learn that parents read to their children before bed. Although he was incredibly uncomfortable in this role as a bedtime reader, he persevered. #OhCanada

Started this tonight after reading @TheBookHippie review. Also it‘s an #OhCanada pick.

#WhereAreYouMonday

My current book puts me back in Canada this Monday. A difficult memoir to read because the author has suffered so much pain and violence.
