Welcome to Litsy!

You guys, I have a confession to make. I‘ve been so stressed and depressed by COVID-19 et al. that I HAVEN‘T BEEN ABLE TO READ. We‘re kindred spirits. We‘ve waited our lives for something like this: days with Nothing. To. Do. But. Read! And I can‘t! So after nearly two months, I finally stumbled through these brief testimonials. But if any of you are feeling the same, or if any of you know of some books to welcome me back, I‘d be forever grateful.

Read these Moth books (there are three of them). And then buy copies for every reader in your life, because it is impossible to not enjoy them.

Excellent! Not one uninteresting story. @Kelican17 and I went to a live performance a couple years ago. If there is a show in your area, I highly recommend that you check it out. I bought this for bedtime reading since the stories are only 4-5 pages long, but I ended up binge reading! My favorite story is about Mother Teresa‘s doctor. I‘m going to seek out other Moth collections. 4.5/5🎤s

Now I‘m a bit sad because I‘ve finished all three Moth collections. This one is great! I read it over a longer time span than the others, and both ways work. If you want a book you can read for five minutes, finish an essay, and do something else, this is fantastic.

The stories themselves are amazing. They run the gamut of humanity, and I found a lot of them very uplifting.

This was a reread for me since it was chosen for my other book club at my recommendation. This was really great, and I‘m so glad I reread it. The stories are quick, funny, sad, interesting and surprising. Definitely a must read.#litsyAtoZ @BookishMarginalia

Rereading for book club.

I live near a retirement community full of readers. Every few months, they have a book sale. This is my #bookhaul from this week‘s sale. $10.50 for all of them. Not the cheapest, but still pretty inexpensive.

I love good storytelling and these pieces are all spectacular in their own ways. It‘s like a collection of short stories. These are all stories that were told live and then later transcribed. I‘ve only listened to the Moth podcast a few times. I‘ll have to check it out again because the storytelling in these pieces is really phenomenal.

I love The Moth Podcast! Getting me through today!

I'm spending my snowy evening listening to true story tellers. I love Brooklyn, and I love Radio Lovefest. Not a day goes by where I don't LOVE living in Brooklyn. #bam #brooklyn #radiolovefest #storytelling #alittlebitofgeorgiainbrooklyn

This book has gone straight to my (very small) favourites shelf. A collection of 50 true stories told at The Moth story-telling nights around USA, they are all different but all so moving and will reaffirm your faith in humanity. It's now on my bucket list to attend one of these events in the flesh. An easy 5 stars!

I love listening to the podcast so it was fun to read some of the stories.
