Welcome to Litsy!

I just started reading “These Violent Delights”. The writing is awful! “They know this boardwalk like the back of their hands, even when it is presently quiet of the usual thousand different languages hollered under a thousand different flags.” I don‘t know if I can read this!

Here are the #Two4Tuesday questions for today. Thanks for taking the time to play. Happy Tuesday!

Reviewed a book, then heard back from the author! Love when that happens! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

This novel is an example of how to tell a #MeToo story in the right way - with heart and empathy. Namkung tells the story of three women who are deeply affected by a 'relationship' they had with their high school English teacher. I felt a true connection to these characters, and there was just enough edginess to help the writing stray from a schmaltzy afterschool special feel. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #NetGalley

Wow. This book! Heart-renching. This novel calls out every aspect of rape culture. From #mylitbox. #ownvoices #diversereads #feministreads #authorofcolor #catsoflitsy

I took a break from my book to paint a wall. I needed to step away... I was getting too angry at the too-accurate representation of rape culture. The wall was previously pumpkin orange and I got stressed everytime I looked at it. Now back to the reading!

THIS 👏 IS 👏 RAPE 👏 CULTURE 👏

I like this book already.

#BookHaul courtesy of my subscription box services #botm and #mylitbox. This is my first time heading about These Violent Delights and I'm interested.

A #bookhaul courtesy of my subscription boxes #botm and #mylitbox. I had to research These Violent Delights and now I can't wait to get to it.

#mylitbox was waiting for me when I got home and OMG. I am half-tempted to drop everything else and start this book right away! IT LOOKS SO GOOD. And I adore the RESIST tote bag, button, and Zora Neale Hurston swag. I love it.

This book takes a hard look at sexual assault culture &victim blaming &there were many times I was infuriating by how these women were being treated &talked about by people they didn't even know.

TVD packs a powerful punch. It focuses on 3girls who come forward yrs later about the inappropriate relationships they had w/ their English teacher in HS. Jane, a reporter champions their case, writing investigative pieces &being there for these women.
