Welcome to Litsy!

I just finished the tagged book... I was just going to read for a bit, and now it‘s 1 am and I‘m going to need some time to process (and sleep) before I can review it. This book is a trip.

It was my last book for #ReadingWomenChallenge, so I have finished my first challenge for the year. 🙌🏻

Will it be worth how exhausted/worthless I‘m going to be at work tomorrow? Who‘s to say!

I have no compassion for my own poor nerves. 🤪

This is Miller‘s interpretation of a classical myth about Pygmalion and Galatea ... beautiful, powerful, dark, tender and horrifying.
My last book for #ReadingWomenChallenge ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

With the year winding down, I figured I'd see where I was at with the #readingwomenchallenge thought I don't think I'll finish it this year (couldn't find a book about an athlete that looked interesting).

I‘ve been waiting for this, and the 2020 #ReadingWomenChallenge prompts have been posted. 😊

I only have ONE book left to read for the 2019 challenge. 🎉

Does anyone else plan to do this one?

It was good reading week, I finished all 5 books from last #WeeklyForecast and I liked all of them.
My reading plans for this week: The Winter is Coming, Unthinkable, My Planet are for #NfNov
Minaret and Oreo are my last two books for #ReadingWomenChallenge

A powerful play about an African American family living together in a small apartment in Chicago. It‘s about family dynamics and how each generation has different ideas about how to achieve their dreams and be more successful than their ancestors. It‘s also about the racism and poverty that creates obstacles and oppression for reaching those dreams. #readingwomenchallenge #femaleplaywright

I struggle to read non-fiction. I‘ve always thought I might enjoy this book, but kept avoiding it anyway because not fiction. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Thanks to #readingwomenchallenge for the ‘featuring a woman in science‘ prompt... I LOVED this book!

The science was fascinating (I love the way she talks about trees!) and Hope Jahren‘s stories of her life were even more so. Such a smart, accomplished woman with an honest and compelling story.

I read this for the #IndigenousAuthor prompt of the #ReadingWomenChallenge. Maggie is a monster slayer and must grapple with her clan powers and their consequences as well as the loss she has faced in her life. Her world has a dystopian setting after a big flood. There is a lot of action mixed with fantasy and Navajo stories. This is the first book in the series.

I'm usually bored by world war books (there are too many!) but oh my gosh, this book made me cry. Haunting, romantic, and heartbreaking, with a fascinating frame of Greek mythology (!!!!), plus the prettiest cover of the year. #pop19 #bookinspiredbymythologylegendorfolklore #readingwomenchallenge #mythretelling @thereadingwomen

I read this for the #ReadingWomenChallenge prompt for a book set in Appalachia. Prodigal Summer takes place over the course of a summer as three narrators face changes in their lives. Deanna lives alone in the woods and relates more to nature than people. Lusa is navigating a new marriage and family in the country. Garnett is a widowed old coot who dislikes his organic grower neighbor. Nature in Appalachia is another character in the book.
