Welcome to Litsy!

This is the kind of book that I will keep coming back to reread various chapters. Dr. Robin Wall Kimmerer is a botanist, professor, and member of the Potawatomi Nation. Her passion for plants, ecology, reciprocity with our environment, and indigenous rights, culture and tradition is palpable. I learned so much from this book, and wish I could visit SUNY to take one of her classes!

Read 3 #AdvancedPrompts

I have a feeling 25 years ago, when this book was originally published, it must have been considered groundbreaking. A new blend of history, investigative reporting and personal experiences all told in the first person narrative. The agonizing recounting of a mountain climb gone terribly wrong. I was completely captivated by the events before, during & after the ordeal. I never considered how much money and ego is at stake amongst the guides👇🏼

Blame it on Litsy- Sometimes I Lie
Diverse Non Fiction- The Girl Who Smiled Beads
LGBTQ+MC- Simon vs The Homosapiens Agenda
Japanese Thriller- Confessions
Beach Read- The Summer We Read Gatsby

These are the titles I've read for the 3rd quarter. I have 100 pages and until midnight to squeeze in my last title. Will I make it? I have tons of time for some end of summer beach reading today.

See my previous post... Oops shoulda been a review not a blurb 🤭. Great series!

Edit: A good portion of this book was #setoutdoors for #Booked2018

Although this took me a while to finish (mostly do to life stresses) I enjoyed reading this. You do have to enjoy first hand accounts which aren't always entertaining, but I found that I didn't want to put it down. There are parts that are slow, a normal thing for nonfiction, but overall it was an easy read when I had time. Read for #booked2018 #setoutdoors

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ As much as I love the city life I equally love to #camp. I love the outdoors, fishing, and hiking so this book hit the spot for me. Loved reading about the AT. There were times though where Bryson's humor came off as arrogance but a solid pick. Some gratuitous camping pics from last month.

I thought I actually might get through six prompts this quarter, but I didn‘t quite get there. Still, I‘m very happy with these five. Four of them are picks and two are currently in my top five for the year. 😄

I thought this was a fascinating look at what weather prediction, especially hurricanes, was like before the advent of weather satellites. The way he weaves in the story of the personalities involved makes it that much better. This is my book #aboutenvironment or #setoutdoors for #booked2018 @4thhouseontheleft @Cinfhen @BarbaraTheBibliophage

Just started this one-literally only 15 pages in. Went on a short run and had a workout and I can‘t seem to stop thinking about it. Which is a good sign I think. It seems a little out of my comfort zone in terms of writing style (no dialogue yet!) but I‘m still liking it. I‘m thinking of using it for #Booked2018 #SetOutdoors
