Welcome to Litsy!

4.5/5 ⭐️ As disturbing this book was, I really enjoyed it. I think why I liked it is the brutal honesty that Amanda described her captivity.

One thing I would have liked to have a bit more information on is about her life post captivity, but that was really the only downside to the book. #2024 #bookreview #nonfiction #canadian #bookclub #truestory

4⭐️/5⭐️

Read this in about 30 min. Tender poems about “migration, womanhood, trauma, and resilience“ as the synopsis reads. Really enjoyed it.

This book was tough to read in sections, but I‘m glad I read it. I think it was really well done. It made me want to write my truth as well, even when it‘s painful, especially when it‘s painful. #poetry

“It is an obvious fact that you can never look ahead with clarity at your own future or anybody else's. You can't know what will happen until it happens. Or maybe it dawns on you the split second before, when you get a glimpse of your own fate.”

Playing caught up, I was at a horse show yesterday. 🤍🐎 This is yesterday's prompt.

I am posting one book per day from my extensive to-be-read collection. No description and providing no reason for wanting to read it, I just do. Some will be old, some will be new. Don‘t judge me - I have a lot of books. Join in if you want!

The subject matter this bears witness to is difficult, but the writing style is strong and straightforward. My favorite thing about this is it‘s not couched in beauty or grace or sweetness. You can tell the author is writing for herself, so she‘s unapologetic about telling her truth.

@Chrissyreadit headed to you next week ❤️

#OnTBRListFor1Year Added this to my TBR as soon as it came out last February and then promptly forgot about it. #MarchMagic @Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

This was a moving read by a strong woman.
