Welcome to Litsy!

Sorry I‘ve been MIA but I‘ve been really busy and tired from trying to organize my house and take care of my mother at the same time. But The Last Secret Agent is a new book I‘ve started reading this past week. I am only into it a chapter or two, maybe three, but so far it‘s very interesting. Can‘t wait to read more. #LitsyReads #2025Reads #SundayReading #NetGalley #nonfiction #memoir

I took my time with this one because it's almost 800 pages long. I appreciated the inside look at what it's like to be President and how frustrating it must have been to be thwarted at every turn. Also, I really miss this level of sanity, intelligence and introspection. #nokings

My dad. Miss him. ❤️

Tara Westover and her family grew up orepaeing for the End of Days, but,according to the government,she didn't exist.She hadn't been registered for a birth certificate.She had no school records because she'd never set foot in a classroom,and no medical records because her father didn't believe in hospitals. At 16, Tara knew she had to leave home.

I miss you every day… happy Father‘s Day in heaven dad! #father #junespecials @Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

Relatable: Read three books and two journal articles, then I might be open-minded about it... 🥴

Mom's winning! 😅

A book about books and an authors memoirs in one. So to know Susan Hill is very set in her views (doesn‘t like to travel, doesn‘t get Australian novels!) and this can be frustrating. So too is some of the quite chronic name dropping of the good and great of late 20th century literature. BUT she has a wonderful turn of phrase and clearly loves deep and round reading. I wrote down multiple recommendations and respected her perspective for that !

Started this one yesterday while sipping a drink in the hammock - I am hoping to finish my homework early today so that I can have more hammock time. #NursingSchoolSux Ugh! I hate papers!
