Welcome to Litsy!

An honest look at the consumerism behind Christmas. Hank spends the season with different families in Texas in 2006, exploring everything from shopping traditions to Christmas lights displays. It is a real reflection on how the holiday is treated, especially before the recession hit the country. It is filled with biting sarcasm and lovely 00s throwbacks.

Funny, thought provoking and occasionally sad, I really liked this non fiction look at shopping and decorating and capitalism‘s place in America‘s christmases, based on interviews with families of Texans in the mid 00s. It felt strangely historical looking back before the financial crash and how different things were then. I recommend as a very different ‘festive read‘ than normal.

Starting off #wintergames with a nonfiction audiobook on my way to work today! It's actually kind of hilarious so far
@StayCurious #teamgamesleighers

In this book, the author looked at how several individuals and families celebrate Christmas in Frisco, TX. He looks at how commercial, huge, and sometimes how disappointing the holiday can be. The reader gets to know a number of unique individuals to include their quirks and faults along with their better qualities. Fans of NPR shows like This American Life and Snap Judgement will probably enjoy this work.

Here‘s my TBR list for December!

I liked the story; however it I didn't feel real. It is told from 3 POVs, but mainly from Claire's POV. Her husband Chris lotsy his job during the recession and was out of work for a year. He fell into a deep depression and though he now has a new job they no longer talk. He travels 4/5 days a week and when home works. This had left Claire alone and she seeks police with Daniel a police officer. Though the relationship is platonic they are ⬇️

Here is my final total for this weekend's readathon.
I read Covet, made it halfway through The Last Angel Warrior and a little over 1/3 into Heaven's River. I had intended to read different books but I just never got to them.

I'm on my way home from dropping the kids off at school when he pulls me over.

Day 5 of #bookadventcalendar This is billed as hilarious, which I will definitely need to lighten my mood/anxiety when my to do list is still long and Christmas is getting ridiculously close. @LeahBergen

I have a huge bookish day tomorrow, so I‘m turning in early!

This image reminds me of a few people. 😂👏🏻
