Welcome to Litsy!

Great story of D&Ds history and hownit has evolved over the years to become one of the most widely played tabletop games. Woth a good bit of lived experience from the author sprinkled throughout.

February Nonfiction #ReadingBracket2025

I liked this a lot more than Difficult Women, which I read a few years ago. I especially enjoyed her literary criticism essays. It was interesting to read this more than a decade after it was written, and it was a little heartbreaking to read her cautious optimism about the direction we were heading, knowing how far we've actually regressed since then. This my February #AuthorAMonth pick. @Soubhiville

I finally read this one thanks to #AuthorAMonth It‘s been in my TBR for ages & it‘s my 2nd Roxane Gay (I read Hunger in 2017). I had hoped to finish Not That Bad too but I ran out of time. Although some of the cultural references are dated (it was written 12 years ago), the fact that so little has changed is pretty telling & sobering. Some essays were better (or at least I connected with them more) than others but overall, a good read.

This was my first Roxanne Gay read and I quite enjoyed it. Her opinions were relatable and, even if I didn‘t agree, she broke them down in such a way that I could still appreciate her viewpoint.

This book made me laugh out loud a couple of times, but more importantly, it made me think. A lot. Roxane Gay‘s down-to-Earth writing style is so approachable. Even when I didn‘t agree with her opinions, she helped me focus on what my own opinions are. In the end, I realized that, like her, I am a Bad Feminist. But that‘s better than not being a feminist at all.

I finally got around to reading Roxane Gay thanks to #authoramonth hosted by @Soubhiville . I forgot I had this one on my kindle so I‘m diving in. I doubt I‘ll finish it before Friday though.

Back to the usual Hilo day trip for meetings. Finishing up this one for February‘s #AuthorAMonth.

#AuthorAMonth I‘m learning a great deal from Roxane Gay. But I‘m not planning to finish this book this month. There‘s too much to take in and I don‘t want to miss a thing.

Finished these two for #AuthorAMonth

I flew through these powerful stories.
