Welcome to Litsy!

This girl loves books. She has a funny way of scooting around on her butt and she will scoot at full speed to get to a board book and then spend a few minutes turning pages and looking at the pictures.

Not pictured is the pile of her big sisters‘ books that she pulled off the shelves upstairs. 😅

I loved this book about history, friendship, heartbreak, and math (but not in a you need a calculator math way!) The writing is excellent - clear voice that doesn't get bogged down with complex ideas while being believable about a math genius.

1. When I was able to attend my library‘s book club regularly, I read several books I enjoyed that I prob wouldn‘t have picked up otherwise. The tagged and Light from Other Stars come to mind.
2. Any book that has several themes usually makes a good discussion. Transcendent Kingdom was an interesting one.

Road Trip! Inspired by my favorite judgment in #TOB21, I picked this up at the library. Somewhere in Illinois West 336

This was my book club‘s selected book for the month. I wasn‘t sure I would like it, as the main character is a mathematician, but when it talked about math it was in broad unspecific ways. More in focus were Catherine‘s relationships with her family and the men in her life. The writing is beautiful and emotional. I‘d like to read more by the author.

Lots of trigger warnings though!

I mean... I love #research as much as the next gal...but sifting through so much chaff can get old, at home on a #quarantine day...

#CurrentlyListening to this novel of a woman mathematician growing up in the aftermath of World War II in Michigan.

I thoroughly enjoyed this novel. The struggle of self and a place in the world really rang true. The characters were well rounded and I felt very believable. The sprinkling of math through the book really delighted me.

I loved this book about a woman mathematician, the sexism she faced, and her own growth and discovery of her past. I haven‘t seen it on many “best of 2019” lists, but I think it should be!

This was an interesting panel about mathematics and women. I‘m interested in the tagged book.
