Welcome to Litsy!

This was such a sad book - so much more should have been done for Jenni, questions asked, support given. I listened to it and the narrator did a brilliant job of portraying the sadness but obvious childlike feelings of Jennis early years and then the anger and disillusionment that comes with her teen years. Amazing that she‘s been able to tell her story 🩷 #wpnf25

I really enjoyed this book - mostly about David Starr Jordan but interwoven with little bits about the authors own questioning of life and chaos and orderliness. I loved how it started one way then we‘re left with a different opinion altogether. The bits about the history of eugenics was something I knew little about and the story of it, and Clara specifically, was heartbreaking. #wpnf25

“If everything was amazing all of the time, I think we‘d all be speechless, and if you make that your starting point for creativity, you‘re going nowhere.”

I thought this was such an interesting take about creativity. About how you have to have downtime and sometimes some things that are not amazing are just as important as amazing things.

#WPNF25 Also I love this cover of her as a babe so cute!

Another hit from the #wpnf25 longlist that I would have missed! Wistrich has collected cases involving women who have been convicted of crimes, or victims—some cases both. This is a call to action for change. I thought this was great.

Another excellent selection from the #wpnf25 long list. Centering on the ups and downs and legal manipulations of a Supreme Court decision, Nagle explores Indigenous Land Rights in the US. It is sad and infuriating, with occasional glimmers of hope.

This book exploring how the British legal system fails women in sexual assault/abusive situations is infuriating. It‘s also engrossing and unputdownable. I tend to have rose colored glasses on about the UK, thinking they do things better than us, and this book rips those glasses off and stomps them to smithereens. Superb. #WPNF25

So pleased this was next to come up from my library holds for #wpnf25 - such a gorgeous book and really interesting so far.
