Welcome to Litsy!

This was a really interesting book, half-memoir/half-history of lithium. #memoir

Listened to this one and thoroughly enjoyed Lowe‘s voice, literal and figurative. The history of psych drugs and lithium is fascinating and Lowe‘s personal story is too.

Interesting brief natural history lithium, psychology, psychiatry, and good memoir of going crazy and coming back. I love the dizzying cover and it matches my skull succulent planter and phone case. Fun color scheme, and a pretty fun read.

The last part of Mental detailing Jaime‘s research of lithium has piqued my interest of the Bolivian salt flats. I had no idea! So cool!

This was an impulse read found free on Amazon. #yolo. I expected it to be mediocre but it was SO good. Lightly Gaiman or Burton-esque. Life and death are two sides of a coin. After death you become young again and are enrolled in The Mortuary. Over the course of 6 years you're taught how to reincarnate and live again. If you're worthy anyway. With enlightened Orangutans as teachers and demons as servants, nothing is as it seems in the afterlife.

Listening to Poe and reading about the second manic episode on a beautiful sunny day.

Starting this today. I had ordered it a few months ago, and just got to other books first. Pleasantly surprised to find this lovely bookmark from the seller. Maybe a calm before the storm? Here we go, into a potential world of chaos and insanity!

My next e-book. Not real sure about this one.

This Cinderella continuation is all about a young woman who discovers how to exert her agency in a world that's always denied her all but the simplest of choices. I enjoyed it very much.

That said, Vitale aims for an 18th century voice he can't quite pull off. The book needed at least one more edit to pare away the redundancies and tighten up the prose. The pace is pretty slow, too, and things get seriously trippy near the end.
