Welcome to Litsy!

1. I'm a bit sleepy. Cats woke me up early. I may nap later! 😆
2. I read this book the summer of 2016. I hadn't dealt with depression in years, but that changed after the November election. I'm glad I read it when I did. It reminded me it's OK to be not OK. I wrote Jenny & shared how much her book meant to me. She wrote back to thank me & said she really needed to hear it that day.

Insomnia worked in my favor last night and finished this interesting, chapter-less book. 📖

Read 60 pages of ‘The Swap‘ late last night. A 2019 ARC from a GR giveaway - so long overdue🤦🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️ This afternoon is full of #Audiocleaning with ‘Out Came the Sun‘ followed by some colouring & reading for self-care.

I received this book for Christmas from my wish list and I wasn‘t disappointed. It is the story, told in short chapters, of the narrator‘s experience of living in temporary assisted housing for young people with mental illness. It explores themes of the uneven division of power, what it means to be mentally ill, and where does helping cross into abuse. A fascinating short novel.

It is a family drama on the surface. A love story that spans decades. It is also about parental love, kindness, and forgiveness. It was overwhelmingly heartbreaking for me in parts. I would read it during work lunch, tear-up and then have to close the book. It looks deep into characters and seeks to unravel layers of the rhyme and reason as to why people are the way they are. Plot is okay, additional characters are also okay, overall 3.5 stars.

Catie!! My neighbors are mad at you because I made a shriek sound at the cuteness off the Bear Hugs and it‘s not quite 6:00am! You definitely spoiled me BIG and I LOVE everything! Your friendship is my favorite gift of all 💚❤️

“I was too awake, it was all taking too long. I turned into a feral position. A loneliness that can be rocked. The great female tragedy. My mother, my love. It was too late. I ate books. I could live here”.
