Welcome to Litsy!

There‘s not a lot to this little coffee table book, based on an essay by the Great one. But as a person deeply affected by her Parable duology and how both upsetting and comforting it was reading it in this intense political moment, it serves as a solid reminder. #AuthorAMonth

repost for @Soubhiville

Happy October #AuthorAMonth readers! My post is late this month as I had a visit from my sister and my Mom just moved in with me. I hope you‘ve already picked up your October author, Octavia Butler. Please take care of yourself while reading, as she goes dark and her fiction feels timely as she addresses inequality and other fights we are currently in politically.

What are you hoping to read?

I‘m finally posting my September stats. A good month for me. And the tagged book was my favorite, which was for #whattheDickens

I read 4 Kurt Vonnegut books for #authoramonth,
3 books about #Nicaragua #foodandlit,
1 belated book for #Peru #foodandlit,
2 Louise Penny Three Pines books for #serieslove, &
1 book for work

Started the tagged book last night while having a good hot dog and a fruity beer.

So-so. I felt like both stories ended abruptly and without having any real climactic moment.

My next audiobook. I‘ve enjoyed everything I‘ve read by Octavia Butler. I‘m hoping it continues. #authoramonth @Soubhiville

DNF'd my #Bookspin (Miss Giardino) but loved my #Doublespin, Tom Lake. Didn't finish any #RollTheDie books.

Read several #AuthorAMonth books. I preferred Vonnegut's unpublished stories to his later plotless rambles.

Sort of loved/hated the #HashtagBrigade read Brideshead Revisited.

Listened to for #AuthorAMonth September #KurtVonnegut Overall, I enjoyed this college commencement speeches, although they do get repetitive, especially toward the end. With the two stories read & listened to previously, I feel like I have read enough for now. Would I try one of his better known novels at some point? Maybe.🤷🏻‍♀️

I picked this up from the library on Saturday, intending to read it in October. I've done nothing but read it since. I can not put it down. It's even better than Fingersmith. There, I said it.
