Welcome to Litsy!

Told from the perspectives of a teenage girl and her parents, this is the future, but it‘s also the past. Her parents frequently tell her stories of what it was like before, how hard they had to fight, and how that progress is still so delicate due to the continuing capitalist greed of the fossil fuel industry and its climate criminals. Life looks radically different and is not easy, but together, humanity pulls through. When violence breaks⬇️

Taking a moment to brag & would love to hear what you‘re proud of—Two weeks ago I spoke about sustainability in maritime at 3 separate events. I was particularly proud of the Tulane Future of Energy Forum panel as the only woman & with three men who are CEOs. They took great photos, an event YouTube page with the 28 sessions & our panel made the cover!

Progress is fragile. Revolution is a delicate bird. We think we have fixed everything, but the old world – the destroying classes – they will roll it back the instant they can. They are trying. Are you listening to me?

Not the tagged book. Buried in my Audible library was this short story, Yard Work by David Koepp. Kevin Bacon narrates the tale of 88-year-old Judge Calvert, who‘s recently widowed. His wife dying first was completey unexpected and not what the two had planned. To escape the memories of his wife, Judge moves into his cabin on the lake.

Second book in the Article 5 series. It‘s YA it‘s dystopian. I am a fan. 4 🌟

I don't have the will or the energy to make a video, so here's my #Booker winner prediction and shortlist ranking:

Personal faves: James and Stone Yard Devotional
Quite liked: Orbital and The Safekeep
Don't think succeeded in what it set out to do: Creation Lake
Actively disliked: Held

Book I think will win: James or Held.
Sure hope it is James.

The story wasn‘t bad but I had no motivation to read. It was a struggle. I think after being disappointed by Specials, this world did not have my attention anymore. Glad it is over 🤷🏻‍♀️.

Spoiler here…. I am disappointed with what they did with Zane 😔. I really liked him. He was my favorite character and I loved his relationship with Tally. I‘m in denial. This one was harder to get through than the first two. The story progressed too slowly to then come to disappointing ends. However, I liked how Tally always cures herself, it shows that is always within you to become a better person. You don‘t need outside sources.
