Welcome to Litsy!

Loved it. Brilliant. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

You never know what you will get with a Margaret Atwood novel - she writes across so many styles and genres. But you can trust it will be awesome.

Hag-seed is both a modern retelling of Shakespeare, as well as a primer for the play itself. It's multilayered yet light and comedic. A seeming paradox, it is a farce with depth. And so funny.

In this picture, the great Ms Atwood looks perfect for the theatre 🙌

#reallifepeople #unforgettablewomen #twofer I loved Mary Mallon, an Irish cook in turn-of-the-century New York, accused of spreading thypoid through her cooking "She tried to make sense of what they told her about invisible microbes that floated in the air, that traveled up the nose & into the mouth. So many years later, it still sounded like a fairy tale meant for children, a little world too small for the human eye" #booktober #octphotochallenge

To me the best books are ones where you fall in love with the story and the characters but also learn something game changing, something that alters your perception of the world. This is just such a book. And Ifemelu is definitely my pick for the #unforgettablewomen post for #booktober. @LitsyFeministBookClub @RealLifeReading

How many of you have read The Fifth Season and are ready for the sequel!!
I was supposed to read The Obelisk Gate like a month ago but I'm having a hard time squeezing it into my October reading. I'll at least start it this Sat. during #readathon!

Also, I say Essun, the protagonist, fits into the #UnforgettableWomen category for #booktober, so I'm just gonna squeeze in here if you don't mind. 😉

Lizbeth Salander is an all-time favorite character for me. Thinking about all of the circumstances she survives in these books impresses me. She also reminds me of my first date with my significant other. We went to see the movie with Noomi Rapace. He had not read the book, so we had A LOT to talk about afterwards. #UnforgettableWomen

2 of the most #unforgettablewomen for me: Holly Golightly and Scarlett O'Hara. Neither was perfect but they possessed strength and lots of charisma in the book and in their movie adaptation. #booktober

#UnforgettableWomen Eve Dallas is my first pick 😍 This badass cop with a dark past and an amazing love story got me hooked with J.D. Robb's series from the very first book #booktober

I loved this book. Painful, eye opening, smart. Ifemelu was great. #unforgettablewomen #booktober

I'm choosing Maura, Persephone, and Calla for my #UnforgettableWomen because I think they should get their own spin-off series. #booktober (I found this picture on Google. I have no artistic ability.)

After falling in love hard with Lumberjanes 1, I HAD to get the rest. I may need to pace myself though (if I can!) so I am not left desolate waiting for the next book...
