Deblovestoread It is so good, I learned a ton. 1w

TheBookgeekFrau @Deblovestoread The learning is real!! 1w

ncsufoxes Lawmakers should have this as required reading, maybe they‘d have better insights into what many people in the US face 1w

TheBookgeekFrau @ncsufoxes Agreed!!! Though part of me thinks they either wouldn't believe, or are laughing even louder all the way to the bank. 1w

KadaGul During grad school, I read and wrote a paper about "Evicted," which explores the housing issues in some struggling neighborhoods in Milwaukee. I really enjoyed the research process and put lots of effort into making the information engaging and interesting. The author pours his heart into the writing, which makes the topic hit home even harder! 5d

TheBookgeekFrau @KadaGul He really does! I've added Evicted to my wish list. 5d

How to Keep House While Drowning: 31 Days of Compassionate Help | Kc Davis

pick

(This is maybe going to be a long post)

This is totally a #blameitonlitsy - it just kept on appearing and appearing and appearing in my feed. So who am I to fight Reading Destiny? And yes, it was a good thing to listen to it. RD knows what I need.

Because I so, so needed that book. It's short and easy to read, and it has to be. It's written for people in very dark places and those often don't have the strength and energy to read big books. ⬇

Jari-chan You can skip and browse as you like and need it.

The way of deconstructing what makes you unhappy about your cho- I mean, care works, is basically the same as the one I did when I was fighting my ED. But it never occurred to me that I needed to this with my relationship with care work as well.

Even though my therapist told me to go easy on it, to think that it‘s okay that not everything‘s done, it only ever worked a little bit. ⬇ 3w

Jari-chan It still stressed me out. A lot. That‘s why I read this book. I never realized how much shame I connected to it. That I have to learn to see my dirty floor as neutral. That it doesn‘t make me a bad person or a failure.

Wow, so much learning. But it‘s already starting to do it‘s wonders. I‘m more relaxed, more accepting. And it feels wonderful.

AmyG A good book to read. I was the same. Then I began what I called “triage”. What was the most important thing to do first and so on down the line. I also learned that I am my best friend so I talked to myself with kindness and compassion-and I learned to trust myself. It all gets done eventuallly. Your “care works” are not you. 3w

Jari-chan @AmyG I'm happy to hear that you've learnt so much and are hopefully better now 🫂💖 3w

AmyG Thank you….I am so better. 3w

MaleficentBookDragon I‘m glad this book is helping you. My therapist recommended this book to me after I read Divergent Mind (another she recommended). They both have really helped me with understanding myself and to start letting go of shame. It‘s a work in progress.

How to Piss Off Men: 109 Things to Say to Shatter the Male Ego | Kyle Prue

A humorous expose of negging techniques that's a reasonably funny short listen, though probably more fun in its original tiktok form. To make for a longer audiobook it has a section of the author and his mom interviewing each other, which was heavy on “you know, like...“ and then an advice section which was pretty entertaining. I'm not a big fan of prank humor, so it wasn't really for me.

Fresh Water for Flowers | Val�rie Perrin

Starting off this summer week with a much anticipated read. The first two pages indicate that this is exactly what i need right now. #blameitonlitsy 💙🤍💚

BarbaraBB Enjoy! It‘s lovely! 3w

CatLass007 It is lovely. But it‘s not summer just yet. It‘s not official until June 20th. I personally hate the summer heat. Temperatures in the other three seasons are more preferable. 3w

BiblioLitten @BarbaraBB Absolutely my favourite book of this year! 💙 1w

BarbaraBB It was mine too last year (or the year before?! Time flies!). All her books are really good! 1w

The Caf� at the Edge of the Woods | Mikey Please

pick

Oh.My.God. What an amazing book! Just the graphics alone are well worth the read but the story included is just perfect! Rene opens up a cafe to serve her yummy food and hires Slewfoot, a quiet goblin as a waiter. The problem now is she doesn't have any customers. Slewfoot finds her an ogre as a customer but his requests are too strange for Rene to make. What will Rene do?? Just a wonderful touching story for any age

tpixie ? 9 year olds? 3w

booklover3258 @tpixie absolutely good for 9 year olds. Its cute and gross and funny. nothing scary or violent in it.. 3w

tpixie @booklover3258 perfect! Thanks! #BlameItOnLitsy 💜👿 💜 3w

SWORDCROSSED. | FREYA. MARSKE

To save his family‘s business, Matti is ready to marry a woman he doesn‘t love. Hiring a swordsman to act as his best man for the wedding may create as many problems as it solves.

A really lovely historical romantasy. Matti‘s dedication to his family broke my heart, & I loved the development both in him & in the love story. It is very slow, & I think The Last Binding series is stronger narratively, but the tension is good & paced well.🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑

tpixie @Liz_M yes, I don‘t necessarily enjoy reading graphic novels either. I have the first one of Persepolis & enjoyed it a few years ago #blameitonlitsy , so during #indiebookstoreday when I saw the complete set I decided to buy it! 4w
