Welcome to Litsy!

I did not #lookbackinanger when this book arrived sans autograph. Hey it was still a free book. Then Thursday I got a signed book plate in the mail with a note about it being left out. It's all cool. #septembowie

#catchingup on #awesomeautumnbooks #day27 / #septembowie #day24 / #fallintobooks #day24 - #shhsecrets / #lookbackinanger / #stuckinthepast

A book about traumatic pasts and secrets coming back to haunt people. Haven't read yet, unfortunately, but have heard good things.

This #ARC is #upnext. I would say that Anna is #stuckinthepast, has much #sorrow, and must on more than one occasion #lookbackinanger. #septembowie #fallintobooks #multitasking

This was the first thing that came to my mind when I saw the prompt. Happy no one else used it! Responsible for the saying "angry young men" . #septembowie #lookbackinanger

#septembowie #LookBackInAnger Six non-fiction books that (in addition to making me sad & frustrated & at least tear😢up if not full on cry😭) made me angry when I read them & make me look back in anger at how the people in them were treated due to things like race, ethnicity, & gender. It's even more frustrating that although the history in these books happened decades ago, this type of treatment, bigotry & discrimination still happens today. 😤😡

I tried to think of a character consumed by the wrongs of the past - and Heathcliff leapt straight to mind. This was my favourite book for a long time but rereading it last year took away some of the magic. I longed for a little compromise!

PS Laurence Olivier is quite lovely in this shot isn‘t he?!

The narrator of this novel is definitely one to #lookbackinanger . Forced to leave the U.S. for Canada, he can't help but go on angry political asides after reading about news from the states. You have to wonder if he might consider himself lucky today? 😋 The title character is a friend from the past, and though anger bubbles up in recalling the tragic events that unfold, telling his story serves to calm his rage #septembowie @Marchpane @Cinfhen

Racism, violence, rape, police violence, discrimination, prejudice, murder and ignorance... All of these books broke my heart 💔 and made me so angry that people were and still are treated this way!!!

#SeptemBowie #day24 #LookBackInAnger The story of the female convicts, transported to the colony in Australia in small, overcrowded ships is not an easy read. Yanked away from their families, country & friends mostly for petty thievery of food to feed those families, they were chained together in the bowels of these ships, abused, beaten & raped, then dumped onto a country that was so different from their home, alone & terrified. I'd be angry too.
