Welcome to Litsy!

I looked through the #audibleplus library today and noticed they've added quite a few since the last time I checked. So, if you're an #audible user you might want to check it out. I love #freebies! No credit necessary for any of these.

Really fascinating!!! This book delves into the ethics, science, and host of unexpected outcomes one might not think about when they open Pandora‘s box (kit) of DNA home testing. I would love to discuss this with a bookclub. I appreciated that the author included personal narratives. I found Alice‘s story particularly compelling. Second book from @MallenNC #NYWD list 💖 Will use for #Booked2022 #WrittenByAJournalist and #NF22 #OutOfLeftField

Thanks for this great match @monalyisha
This is the list I received from @MallenNC
The top row I own and had already planned on reading, the other books I‘d like to read over the course of 2022, especially since a bunch will work for #Booked2022
#NewYearWhoDis2022
I have read #7, 12, 13, 18 & 19 - all were good 😊

My current listen isn‘t in the database (yet). It‘s a memoir about a woman coming to terms with her husband‘s job loss after 17 years of being the family provider. It‘s ok so far. #AudiblePlus #Freebie #NonFictionNovember

Do you remember inflating the word count in your high school essays by the saying the same thing twice but phrasing it differently? Imagine a whole book of that. She would say the same thing twice yet in different ways. 😏

While taken as a whole arc the story of Vitale‘s addiction and sobriety is interesting, the actual writing is atrocious! I can‘t recommend this #AudiblePlus title. 👎🏻

Molly‘s asleep, and 🤞🏻 I will be soon. Here‘s my #WeeklyForecast.

I‘ve got a bunch of memoirs out at the library, including two for #LatinxHeritageMonth. Wayward arrived in print, and I will likely start it tomorrow morning.

Harlem Shuffle may be a so-so for me, too, @Cinfhen @britt_brooke 🤔 Addicted to Perfect is a simple memoir that I‘m falling asleep to tonight. It‘s #AudiblePlus. Review of Union‘s memoir coming tomorrow. Night! 😴

#AuthorAMonth I enjoyed this short interconnected novel revolving around a house by the sea. Each chapter focuses on a new inhabitant, some are descendants others are newcomers. Each chapter is richly crafted & written with Hoffman‘s tender prose and skillful style. It‘s a quick listen,read by numerous narrators, which made this book really enjoyable. #AudiblePlus perfect for a Fall day 🧡

I wasn‘t going to pick up an Alice Hoffman this month @Soubhiville but than I saw this audio in my Audible library and thought, why not?!?!! I‘m REALLY enjoying this interconnected short story collection 💕Multicast narration and really good stories so far. Each character that resides in the Blackbird House is whimsical and compelling. Alice Hoffman is a truly gifted writer and storyteller 🙌🏻 Solid companion for running errands today 😁

This was fine, but I‘d rather hang out in the yard with Molly, even if it‘s 90 F out!

Kristin‘s father was a distributor of Deep Throat and went on trial for his involvement in Memphis in the 1970s. It destroyed his marriage, but he continued to be in the porn business with a chain of adult stores in Florida. This is Kristin‘s life in the shadow of her father‘s career and her parents‘ crumbling marriage. In the #AudiblePlus catalogue.
