Welcome to Litsy!

Survivors of campus sexual assults share their stories of trauma, healing and activism in this vivid read. Books of this subject matter are hard to rate. It was a good but difficult read. I appreciate these students sharing their stories. Books like this are important but hard reads.

This was a through testimonial to what people have been put through when sexual assaulted. Before, after, and healing process. This focuses on campus assaults.

Summer break is giving me no time to read so far...anyone want to borrow my kids? 😂😂
They won't be little for long...they won't be little for long....they won't always be arguing...

My first go at compiling #readingstats . I tried hard to hit a book a day in January, but a few days at Midwinter were just too busy for reading!
I don't count picture books when I track my reading, but everything else is accounted for.

I read the first 200 or so pages of this last night, thinking a lot about my own college & grad school experiences. It was only as I was falling asleep that I realized I should be reading through my lens as a current faculty member as well.

Listening to We Believe You while I crochet. I'm on the part where they start talking about their assaults. My tension got tighter as they got further into their stories. My heart. Those victims. :/

This is going to hurt. I just know it.

For #recommendsday I want to highlight this book again. Such powerful survivor narratives that examine sexual assault from all angles : race, sexuality, gender, age. Everyone should read this one. @Liberty

Incredibly moving, powerful, frustrating. Cried many times listening to rape survivors in and around American universities. I read Missoula earlier this year but I'd rec this book first. Focuses on intersectionality of POC and LGTBQ survivors and rape culture. Hard read but worth it.

⭐️JUNE 2016 READING STATS⭐️ Surprised I read this much considering I wasn't finding books that I liked and I've been completely addicted to playing Overwatch. But the books I finished I really enjoyed and I plan to finish Jemison's The Inheritance trilogy soon.

Current Audible read, and it's a tough one but I hope more people will read it.

Such a powerful book yet so incredibly difficult to read. I have to do it in chunks and take a break because I get so upset. These young women, who have consented to share their sexual assault stories, are brave. When will society really address the issue and begin to teach our men to not rape?
