Welcome to Litsy!

On a work trip in San Diego from small town NY. Getting some social work internship hours in while I wait for pizza. 🍕

Happy Fourth of July from me and Nikolette! 🇺🇸🎆📚

Yet another book that sits teetering on the edge of a "Pick". Beautifully written and heartbreaking - this feels rife for a TV miniseries (fans of "Fargo" take note!).

I'm giving this a "So-so" because I felt it had pacing issues, and could probably have been trimmed by 10-20% for a more potent story. Definitely not a book for those who like clear, happy endings.

I really enjoyed this historical fiction. This was set in the 1960s in North Carolina. I loved the characters for the most part. Jane had such a strong conviction for right and wrong. Thanks to Diane Chamberlain for this wonderful story. 5/5

PROMPT: WITH PHYSICIAN

Jane, a physician's wife, was the new social worker dealing with the Hart and Jordan families.

NECESSARY LIES is the perfect title because lies were necessary for the characters to survive.  It is heart wrenching yet informative as you follow the characters through their inadequate, restricted days.

FULL REVIEW: https://tinyurl.com/2p9h2vv8

Claire Dunne seamlessly curates these very personal accounts of Jung‘s life using letters to people who mattered to him at various times in his life and letters by others expressing their feelings about him and his thoughts. If you are not totally familiar with Carl Jung‘s work, it serves as a great introduction and you will enjoy this deep dive into what moved him to develop various theories and how he came about them throughout his life.

2 weeks of waterside reading spots makes returning to homework almost cruel....just sayin

Very mediocre reading month… The best were Blacktop Wasteland, The Housemaid and Any Other Family. My book spin and double Bookspin we‘re just okay.

It's hard to believe June is almost over, feels like it only started yesterday. I have two days off during this readathon, so I'm hoping to make 20 hours.
