Welcome to Litsy!

Bk3 of July. I read this True Crime NF as an ebook on Scribd. About the Sandy Hook tragedy in 2012, the author(who is a journalist)does well to treat this with the sensitivity it deserves. Told mostly from the children & their families POV it brings them to life with their fave things & dreams of the future while also trying to understand why the perpetrator did what he did. Well told. #BookspinBingo #NonFictionBingo2021 #PennyPerPage #Pageathon

This was a reread for me, on audio this time. It had me feeling #weak. I made the mistake of also watching the documentary midway through and I eventually had to turn it off. It literally made me feel sick. This book is a very comprehensive take on the Sandy Hook massacre. Towards the end, Lysiak also starts a dialogue on the state of mental healthcare in our country, and what effects Lanza‘s autism and SPD had on his mental state. #heatofjuly

You are not your disease.

True.

Stay informed and know what to do. It‘s important.

Hoped that if I let it marinate a few days, I could write a more impartial review. It didn't work. I'm still heartbroken and infuriated. If Nancy Lanza had her parental rights terminated early in Adam's life, this tragedy could have been avoided. When you know your son has an obsession with death based on years of graphic drawings and writings, an obsession with serial killers to the extent of creating a well researched database of a top 500... 👇

#FirstSentence of my current read. As the root cause of these tragedies (often mental illness) intrigues me, I am drawn to such books written by reporters. This book is heartbreaking and infuriating...and I'm only halfway through it.

Pictured is the new Sandy Hook Elementary building and the hanging represents the 25 students and teachers that were killed.

I'm not crying by page thirteen. Nope. Nothing to see here. 😭

#17booklove #nonfictionlove A sampling of the nonfiction books I loved that I also held on to. Some of these have been read multiple times, and are about to fall apart.

Today is the anniversary of something that still haunts me everyday when I drop this little girl off to school....everyday I think about it and I cannot fathom what those parents went through and still go through #neverforget
