Welcome to Litsy!

Had to sit directly in the sun today after work and read in my favourite park. It didn‘t help, but it also didn‘t hurt.

Adding this one to my #NFNovember #tbr

I loved The Menopause Manifesto and The Menopause Brain, so I‘m hoping to keep learning with this revised and updated book.

1. Started organizing our library/game room again.
2. Husband is learning how to prepare meals for our dogs, which means we can share that task.
3. Had a screening appointment with a private pay clinic that specializes in hormone treatments and scored an appointment with one of their doctors.
4. Pups had their annual check and they‘re both really healthy.
5. I left a whole bunch of Facebook groups. Down to 15 🙌🏼

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I couldn‘t put this down. The writing is crisp, honest, and funny. A book about love and relationships in all their forms. I‘m drawn to portrayals of midlife female MCs experiencing an awakening (and full expression) in their sexual, relational, and personal lives.

Not sure how I felt about this book. It was challenging - in that the main character‘s journey was far removed from my life, my preferences and my values. Her actions were totally incomprehensible to me; the sex made me cringe. There was no aspect of her experience I wanted for myself. Ultimately I related best to Harris - wondering wtf was going on. But it kept me reading, even if I did not really like it. I did love Jordi.

(Photo of author Miranda July holding her hit novel All Fours) I am loving this book. It‘s edgy and creative and liberating. I can‘t wait to see where it ends up.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ It‘s absurd that no one really wants to talk about menopause, healthcare providers included. Medical misogyny is real. If this was regarding men, they wouldn‘t be merely placated nor simply ignored. This is a fact of life for women, and is comparable to puberty, but in reverse. As I age, I realize I don‘t know enough about my own body. This is an excellent resource. Dr. Gunter has a knack for explaining, and keeps a keen sense of humor.

Car rider line. Champ has listened to many, many audiobooks this way. 😂

It‘s weird reading about a 45 yo woman w a 7 yo who sets out to transform herself on a long solo road trip… while being a 45 yo woman w a 7 yo about to take off on a long solo road trip (tho mine was planned months ago…😜).The book is bizarre, well-written, intense, a little crazy, & quite good. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Also, showing off our holiday pillows as the correct seasons settle in…

And sending #AllHallowsReadSwap #ahrs pkg tmrw! (Early bc of road trip)

Progress! 🤓

Finished Bulletproof ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I think they‘ve found their old spark again, or maybe it was the heavy nod to Only Murders 🤔☺️

Murderous Christmas ⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 A cozy cozy! I‘ll definitely go back to read the 1st!

Listening to Mad Love on audio - a relatively quick murder mystery w a full cast. Def recommend so far!

Bubba & I are listening to the Zoo on road trips 🤩♥️

The tagged is for #reallifebookgroup… interesting so far! 🫢
