Welcome to Litsy!

I started reading this book and saw its Netflix movie adaptation 3 years ago and will finally finish it this week 📖🍩💖

This was a great listen. I really enjoyed the Netflix of it too. ( #BookToScreen) It did make me feel very sad though that this might be something (even if it is a bit exaggerated) that girls may go through similar experiences.

Doing some #AudioCrocher while listening to this one. As a non-mom and very far removed from high school… I hope if‘s super exaggerating the “bump n grind” thing… But… I do remember in college football players would drop things and myself and the other cheerleaders might not have realized what they where doing😡

@Chrissyreadit poated the quiz and I knew I had to take it.

I never really considered myself a feminist. Although I have very strong opinions about women's rights, I was not sure of the label. However, reading the descriptions of the different types of feminists was helpful in identifying which group I belong to.

Just started watching this show on Netflix and I'm already hooked! I've even put a hold on the book it's based on. #BookToScreen #Stacked

My local indie, The Book Tavern, had an art show titled Book on a Box in September. Artists could create any type of art as long as it fit on a 12x12 box about the book of their choice!
My daughter and I created a '90s zine piece inspired by the tagged book. We were honored to have ours hanging with so many wonderful works. I brought it home last week along with some new books, of course 😉

4.5/5 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌗 #youngadult #moxie #netflix

My current read!!! #BookSpin

I've been out of H.S. for almost 20 yrs (WOW, im so damn old). I forgot how shitty school can be. #MoxiePower Really loving the book. Already have seen the movie.

I really liked the whole Moxie group, that part of the story was great. The romance took away from that at times, but how it worked out in the end was okay. It also seemed like some parts of it didn't flow as smoothly as I would have liked. Other than that, it was really good. Now I'm going to have to watch the movie.

I‘ve seen the Netflix movie so now it‘s time for the book.

What a great book about a coming of age feminist. Loved it! 😍

Vivian is who I wanted to be in high school. I was quiet, like her, but not brave enough to speak out against unjust treatment of others or athletes that ruled the school. She started Moxie after finding her mom‘s Riot Grrls stuff… my favorite girl band(s) when I was a teen were 7 Year B!tch & Liz Phair. I related to this story, my misspent youth is many years past but now have found my voice. It‘s a bit different from the movie. #bookspin

After nearly six months of searching, I have finally found a copy of Moxie that is not the movie cover. Plus, it‘s brand new and hardcover! I got so lucky!

I finished this book a last week and read this book of school. The book has a very strong message of equality and I liked it. ⭐️⭐️⭐️

I read this book for school and overall really enjoyed it, I liked the feminism and the ‘fighting against injustice‘ aspect of the book a lot. I think that it raises awareness about sexism and I recommend it. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I finished this earlier in the week. It‘s a good read, a story of ‘normal‘ (stay-out-of-trouble, not politically active) girls empowering each other to stand up to the toxic, misogynistic culture of their school.

My one criticism, I suppose (as a non-parent, not involved in the school system) was that the culture described seemed a little over the top, almost unrealistic.

Then yesterday OFSTED (UKs inspectorate of schools) released a report into

What a super cute, coming of age novel. I‘ll be watching the movie this weekend, although that makes men‘s totes because I liked this book. Book #20 in 2021

I just finished the movie, and even though some major things were different, I still really liked it. I did think it was weird that it was set it liberal Oregon instead of conservative Texas, it still was good.

Soooo good!!! This book was a real page turner. Vivian lives in a small town in Texas, population 6,000, and she is fed up with football team getting special treatment. She‘s fed up with the principal‘s son wearing gross T-shirts and having no consequences. She‘s sick of the bump ‘n‘ grab game the boys play. And she‘s sick of the random dress code checks. I loved every second of this book. Cant wait to watch the movie now! 5⭐️

I opened Moxie and was pleasantly surprised.

This audio book was fantastic! I love reading a book about girl power and the characters being really sure of themselves. I enjoyed the main protagonist and the agenda she had set out to change the school setting and what females have to deal with due to the football team being all mighty and powerful. I love the message this book sent and females sticking together. Oh and excited to watch the Netflix show now!!!

I wasn't prepared for how much I really enjoyed this empowering page-turner. I'm always on board for a smart, well written YA novel about budding feminists fighting back against toxic rape culture. Gimme. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because I thought it would have been more realistic if there had been some parental involvement in that high school horror show. (Also, some law enforcement would have been nice.)

Being a young adult librarian aide, I can‘t stress enough in how much we need these types of books, especially in the YA genre. Books that encourage girls/ women to find their voice, and take a stand against sexism and rape culture. Reminders that women CAN take up space, and your voice matters- It is powerful, and has the ability to make changes. This book is a CRUCIAL read that needs to be discussed in academia. 📚⬇️

Another audiobook—I think I‘m finally getting into listening to them! Book 3 finished for #MarvellousMarch 🎧 🌼

Power to the girls!
I loved this, I loved the movie and of course I got the book.
I need more books like this.

Reread Moxie in preparation of Book Club movie night.

It was pretty good. I like the message of it and it was so easy to read this in 2 sittings.

Has anyone watched the Netflix film Moxie? I really loved it, and my inner teenage girl has a big crush on Seth. It gave me laughs and happy tears. Immediately moving the book up on my TBR.

Just started this today and I am already half way done. So far this has been very easy to fly through.

Girls sometimes have to deal with ridiculous dress code rules but boys can wear shirts that say that at a pep rally in front the pep rally?

Anybody else had a rough week? Moxie and I are realllyyy looking forward to a long weekend full of snuggles and good books 🐾

♀️✊🏼 I wish I had books like this to read when I was younger! Loved it.

This was just what I needed! A fun, quick read about a young girl finding her voice and girls coming together to support and encourage each other, all inspired by the 90s Riotgrrrrls.

#YearofReadingLitsy - thank you to @monalyisha for this gem!
#ReadwithMrBook - one word title @MrBook

After the emotional rawness of On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous, I needed something fun and uplifting. So I'm starting on this one for my #YearofReadingLitsy. This was a gift from the one and only @monalyisha (and her Moxie) and I'm excited for some fierce riotgrrrl reading!

Bonus: it's also a #OneWordTitle for #ReadwithMrBook @MrBook

Littens are, by and large, a generous bunch! Over my years on Litsy, I've received quite a number of excellent reads thanks to this generosity. I've read many, but have equally as many that I haven't gotten to yet. So, as part two of my #YearofReadingLitsy challenge I resolve to read at least one book each month that I've received from an awesome Litten 👊

“Moxie” analyzes how adolescents create their voice and identities when small minds have power. The main character Vivian‘s voice—at first quietly, but louder as she evolves—emerges through her desire to confront the sexism at her school. Mathieu recognizes that change for individuals and a community is not always easy, but the first small steps are important. Read it for the female empowerment and the references to the 90s‘ Riot Grrrls!

Yes please!

Mini book haul! Love the cover of Moxie.

Aspirational. One hopes for these outcomes. Although I‘ve asked all the teen women I know to read this, I only just finished. Get to work, Amy Poehler & Netflix! #24in48 9:13:16

2. I've really been enjoying the tagged YA novel.
3. Some reading, lesson planning and a long walk on the trail, or two.
4. 15°C/60°F was the high today, sun and clouds.
5. We had tacos, birthday boy's choice.

Definitely possible!

Possibly one of the best parts of my job is Silent Reading. 15-20 minutes at the start of nearly every English class to read independently chosen books. I often get to read along with my students. Today I'm reading this. #teachersoflitsy

1. Moxie by Jennifer Mathieu
2. Rest, relax, and read!
3. Yes. I like eggs cooked any way, as long as the white is fully cooked.
4. Kate, Jen or Anne... a one syllable name for certain.
5. ❤🧡💛💚💙💜
