Welcome to Litsy!

Had a nice productive reading week/ Making progress on #ReadingAsia21 and finished BOTH my #BookSpin & #DoubleSpin
Plus I read my #AAM & #FoodAndLit
Ooooh, and I completed #NonFictionChallenge21 🎉❣️😁
The standout of the week was Jamaica Inn, a book written in the 1930‘s 🙌🏻

Meh! Was hoping for a little bit more. #NonFictionChallenge21 #AboutFriendship

#FoodAndLit This was an interesting read and a fascinating look into #Ethiopia 🇪🇹I was really enjoying my quest until author Bob Cornuke, a retired detective and DEVOUT Christian turned somewhat fanatical in his determination to use Christian scriptures to prove his theory that the lost Ark was brought to Ethiopia centuries ago. He does raise some intriguing premises although most Biblical scholars & historians do not agree with him. 👇🏼

Written in raw vulnerability/ beautiful prose but heartbreaking content. A subject not often discussed; same sex domestic violence. Her lack of self worth was brutal. #pop21 #ShareZodiacSignWithAuthor #NonFictionChallenge21 #LatinxAuthor

The mom in me is finally kicking in!!!! I need to wrap this young woman in my arms and shake her/ she DESERVES so MUCH more. No one should ever accept any abuse from a partner. 😢😢😢#Pop21 #AuthorSharesYourZodiacSign #NonFictionChallenge21 #LatinxAuthor

A bit dry and writing was rather straightforward but still very informative & interesting. Born female, Ben Barres always felt more male than female & could not relate to his twin sister. A self described #ScienceNerd from early on, the author dreamed of spending his life studying the human brain & body. He didn‘t transition until his mid 40‘s so spent most of his student life & professional life as a marginalized overlooked female scientist. 👇🏽

This was my #DoubleSpin and upcoming IRL bookclub choice/ I really enjoyed learning about the skill, dedication, sensitivity and iron stomach it takes to be a forensic pathologist. The writing was very engaging and Dr. Shepherd did a great job of blending his personal story with his victims stories. If you are from the UK you might recall some of the more high profile cases including Princess Diana 💜Great read
