Welcome to Litsy!

I listened to this one over audio & loved the narration. I resonated with Thomas on the whole subject of getting older & the direction that your life is going. I loved his insights. Some were hilarious: his trip to the ER & some were touching: the cemetery. He also discusses his move to a very red neighborhood with his husband during the pandemic. Definitely need to read/listen to his other book. #bookspin #nonfictionbingo prompt:same love

I have this book but listened to it on audio since that seems to be the easiest way for me to get any reading done. The author started the #prettybutcute, which went viral. Her book discusses the importance of intersectionality in our society as a black, disabled woman. She discusses the need for more & positive representation of disabled people in the media but not as inspiration porn (ie stories of disabled people being prom king/queen…

Five books finished, four in progress. Enjoying Olga on audio and the Jane mystery on kindle. I started MPP a few days ago and am going to read a bit more but think it will be back on the shelf.

Bk7 of #JumpStart2023 & Bk3 of #JoyousJanuary #readathon is done! I finished this one on Thursday night but been haven‘t been on till now. Listened to this while #audiojournaling it wasn‘t a bad insight into Chris Watts personality, but the narrator was awful, which is why it‘s a so-so. At least I got some challenges in my bujo. #BookspinBingo #NonFictionBingo

Some more Storygraph stats and my #NonfictionBingo board. Almost a blackout. I have Litsy to thank for expanding my nonfiction reading and for my favorite stat of all…102 new authors!

Thanks, Melissa, for championing nonfiction!

1. Good! I finished the PopSugar Challenge recently and I‘m on track with my Goodreads goal. I‘m still working on my #NonfictionBingo card for 2022.

2. Yes, especially now that I‘ve finished the PopSugar prompts. This is always a goal.

Tarana Burke was the original founder of the #metoo movement. She has worked tirelessly with young black and brown girls that have been victims of sexual assault. Burke is a survivor of sexual assault herself & she has worked to help others through their experiences as she worked through her own trauma. I enjoyed learning about her work in social justice & community activism. #bookspin book #nonfictionbingo: I‘m a Survivor

Bk2 for June is done! If my readings not quite back to what it was, at least there‘s light at the end of the tunnel now thank god👍I enjoyed this memoir more than I thought I would, bring back so many memories of what the 80s were like for a teenager. Though for an actor that looked so cool onscreen, he was a total mess off it. Highly recommend. #BookspinBingo #BigJuneReadathon #NonFictionBingo #ImASurvivor #Pop21 #Booked2022 #ByAJournalist

Hello friends!

Looking back on 2021 I‘ve had a hard time motivating myself to read this year. Partly pandemic related, partly being busy, partly just some meh feelings overall. But I‘ve found I‘ve felt most motivated and got the most reading done when I‘m taking part in challenges so I‘d love to do more next year! I‘m already hyped for #booked2021 and I‘d love to learn about any other year long challenges that are running!
