Welcome to Litsy!

Did very well yesterday on the 📕 front. The tagged 📕 I got at the op shop on my way home from rehearsals. I couldn‘t believe my luck that it was still opened & was a bargain at $5. The 📕 in the middle is from my building‘s 📕 swap from an author I‘ve enjoyed in the past & the top 1 was from a st library I discovered while heading to the pub last Sun so visited again yesterday. Was a massive day & I‘m still buggered today. Tempers flared at 🩰.

This is my first post here on Litsy: I am starting my first Tim Winton book tomorrow, Juice.

I adore Kingsolver‘s writing! And I love the essay style that brings so depth to ordinary, sometimes mundane things. It‘s well worth the read!

This book confronts environmental justice for native people and the truth of America‘s many founding horrors.

I'm starting on a read through of Caldecott award books and this is one of the most gorgeous ones I've ever read.

Read to Henry

4/5

A future dystopian judgement of our lack of commitment to science and change. So close to home. So timely. So sad.

📖 Manifesto: The Battle for Green Britain (Revised and Updated) by Dale Vince

I don't think the book needed a different title, but it might have needed a different editor. There is a significant portion of the book, say from 75 pages in to the last 20 pages, where the chapters focus directly on issues related to rewilding, for the most part in a UK context, though international concerns and stats are introduced as supplementary examples. 1/?
