Such a light fun read

Late night reading… Any recommendations for toddler parenting books? Need all the advice and help I can get. Trying not to f** my kid up lol

5/5. I wish I could send a copy of this book to anyone who has had a dysfunctional childhood because of their parents. It gave me so much understanding and validation that I wasn‘t expecting. Truly a life changing book for me. 4/100

Trying to understand my ADHD (which has been out of control lately) and simultaneously meet my reading goals. 2 birds? 3/100

2/100 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️I absolutely loved this book. Mark Plotkin‘s autobiography as he quests to learn and preserve indigenous Native American‘s healing secrets.

1/100! First read of the year. This was one of Gregory‘s slower novels but still excellent and I‘d definitely recommend if you enjoy historical fiction that centers around monarchies

12/100 I enjoyed this nonfiction book on the psychology of affairs immensely. Definitely a good read if you‘re into broadening your perspective on the questions of monogamy!

11/100. This book was unbelievably sweet. It‘s been so long since I read a YA novel and this one was perfect. Alyssa, who works as Cinderella at a theme park, thinks she has the perfect relationship with her boyfriend. When he breaks up with her she finds the Prince Charming she never knew she needed.

10/100. an advertiser struggles with alcoholism.

5/5, 9/100. This books was so good! I had never heard of Ann Boleyn‘s sister Mary, and it was interesting to hear her version of events. (This book is fiction and based loosely on history) Now to watch the movie! Also this author is amazing, can‘t wait to read more.

8/100. A couple decides to have a party to celebrate their divorce. The events that unfold after change their lives forever. Equal parts sweet and sad. 4/5.

7/100 What a sad, sad story. 5/5

6/100. 4/5. A pretty good thriller mystery.

5/100. 3.5/5. I decided to read this because I heard Mila Kunis is doing the movie soon and I love her, but I was weary because of so many mixed reviews. I will say this, it‘s a pick for me because of the interesting character development and I was definitely captivated, but I felt like she should have gone further and maybe even a little darker with Ani.

This is the most thoughtful Mother‘s Day gift ever. Thank you soooooo much @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks Words can‘t describe how much I love it 😻

Book 4/100 (lol) with a rating of 3/5. I found the heroine of the story to be extremely pretentious and the beginning was super slow, but once the plot kicked in I will say I definitely found myself wanting to know how it all ended. Has anyone else read this?

3/100. What a slow book... and then once it finally got good it became slow again! It finally got to the point where I just jumped ahead to the points that were relevant so that I could just finish the book.

2/100. I Have been having such a hard time being still enough to do any task that requires any sort of focused concentration. This was the second book I was able to finish in the fog and it doesn‘t disappoint. On his own weight loss journey for his health the author compares basically all the different diets and his own personal experiences with trying a lot of them (and failing). A great read for anyone interested in nutrition or weight loss.

This book is a great 3 am insomnia read. Researchers make the case for polygamy. They use comparative primate studies and hunter gatherer data to argue that monogamy ISN‘T universal.

Is it so very obvious that you can‘t love more than one person? We seem to manage it with parental love (parents are reproached if they don‘t at least pretend to love all their children equally), love of books, of food, of wine (love of Château Margaux does not preclude love of a fine Hock, and we don‘t feel unfaithful to the red when we dally with the white), love of composers, poets, holiday beaches, friends… Richard Dawkins

A little Half price bookstore shopping this morning with Ruthie. Excited to dig in! Anyone read any of these?

I know this is late but thanks to everyone for the Xmas cards! #litsylove has seriously been so uplifting for me this past year! I love all the new people that I have met and although I don‘t get a chance to reply as often as I would like (or read) without #litsylove I probably would have become entirely isolated.

1/100 for 2021. This was a great short read. It‘s a prequel to a series and it was cheap on Apple Books so if you‘re looking to start a series and you‘re on a budget then this might be up your alley.

Pick a parenting book they said...

Only by making an inventory of our agreements will we uncover all of the conflicts in the mind and eventually make order out of the chaos of the mitote.

Finally, FINALLY finished a book. I‘m rating it 3.5 out of 5 starts because although the plot was good, I found myself skipping pages and just wanting to get to it. Brooke fled town after her high school sweetheart committed suicide after she cheated. However a jealous younger sister and family secrets come to light 11 years later and completely shatter and change Brookes world.

Currently reading this gem while working on Litsy love! Half are done, I hope to have the other half done by the end of the week. Happy holidays to everyone!

I almost bailed it was that slow. Also, the plot was very bland, subpar, and predictable.

I‘m getting really swept up in royal historical/period dramas lately. At the same time Im also struggling with finishing books. I haven‘t had the time to force myself to read something, so if it doesn‘t catch my attention right off the bat I usually end up not finishing it. That being said, anyone have any recommendations for a book that will hook me right away in this field? It can be fiction or nonfiction.

My first bail! This book was one big ball of cringe. I mean, this book has all of the elements of a bad Hallmark movie.

Plot: This book follows three women‘s lives. One is dealing with becoming a grandma and realizing she‘s old. Another‘s husband is a POS who abruptly quits his job to become a screenwriter, leaving her to support them. Lastly, there‘s the oh-so-cliche successful CEO who‘s LoNeLy because she put her career first. 🤢🤮

Vartabedian claims that colic is caused by 1 of 2 things, acid reflux or a milk protein allergy. And that‘s colic solved, baby.

3/5 kind of a generic thriller, the person who you think did it, did it— the beginning drones on as well.

I‘m not having a lot of time to read right now, but when I am I‘M DEVOURING this book hoping for an answer. Guys, when my baby is awake all she does is 😢. I woke up early this morning to work on my Litsy love and get a few chapters in. Hope everyone has a good week

I haven‘t been reading much due to the birth of my baby on 7/20. I would post a picture of her, but unfortunately I watched that Jeffrey Epstein documentary on Netflix and now I‘m paranoid. Nevertheless, this is my current read stack and I have a bunch of LitsyLove going out on Monday. Hope everyone‘s staying safe out there!

Not much time for reading this week as I‘ve hit 37 weeks and according to doctor baby can come at any time! Been slowly writing back to my #litsylove pen pals (please bear with me) while I finished babies mermaid themed nursery. I really hope she likes it.

3/5
Just another classic. This story is about a man and the trials and tribulations he went through during his period of invisibility. Did not feel sorry for him, he was a first class douche bag.

5/5
Husband and I went on a babymoon and that‘s when I got this gem. This is a love story about writer Mary Frances who is married to Al and having an affair with his best friend Tim. This story is told in a very poetic way, but not overly so to where it makes it hard to follow. Also, I absolutely loved the way that food was used to talk about the hunger that Mary Frances had in her life, love, and work.

3.5/5
This classic is the ultimate tale of cyclical generational trauma. How it is known as a love story is a mystery to me, because even the romantic parts of it made me so, so sad.
Side note: It‘s really hard for me to stick to the classics, just because we don‘t talk like that anymore and it‘s a pain in the ass to slow down for comprehension as I‘m a fast reader. Regardless, it‘s a classic for a reason... what a story!

3/5
This was my first time reading a Jodi Picoult novel. Although the book had a great plot, I only gave it 3 stars because it was told in a way that made it extremely hard to focus on it. Besides the fact that there were numerous characters that you had to keep up with, the story was also told backwards which made it extremely confusing. I would read another Picoult book as long as it was written without the backward story line.

Need a novel to escape into..

The key to making yourself take a nap is to read nonfiction. I found this out the hard way in college while reading textbooks.

4/5
Great adventure/love story— reminded me a lot of the hunger games.

Spent the day at the Indiana dunes with my husband and my pup Scooby Doo. I can not believe I am 8 months pregnant and soon my little bean will be here.

Finishing up the rest of my book tonight as sleep constantly evades me (thank you restless legs syndrome).

Just joined this app, I‘m still figuring it out... This is the first book I‘m reading. I always end up loving the target book club picks!
