Welcome to Litsy!

December 1, 2023 Happy Holidays 🎄🤩😍

November 30, 2023 So sorry to report that something had me gone for a month or so here on Litsy. Idk what happened to my account BUT i managed to email them and get it fixed... EVERYTHING IS A-OK! Anyway I finished this book last week and I thought it was a good book. I would recommend it to anyone who likes Temple Grandin or just wants to read the difference between a visual thinker & object thinker 😊

A lot of good information packed into too few chapters -- 60-90 minutes each. While I appreciate the underdog perspective of someone who is a visual thinker and thus subject to a lot of bias and exclusion, the book reads too much like an us vs them where one is superior (visual thinking). Not sure that's the intent but that's how comes across. Anyway, as someone who trends visual over verbal, it's nice to have such in depth discourse on the topic.

July 20, 2023 So happy to be alive and have the privilege to BUY books, whether they are paperback or hardback. I have more books that I want to buy but some of them are not in paperback. Other tbr that I have listed include: Mad Honey by Jodi Picoult, Hello Beautiful by Ann Napolitano, and Womb by Leah Hazard

Although I score high on the Visual Thinking test, I don‘t see myself that way. That‘s about all that interested me in this book. Her adoration for Evil Musk & Edison 🤢. She knows squat-all about public education, cherry picking research. Contradicting herself at multiple points… I wanted to love this b/c a friend does, but I did not. I will say her drafting is gorgeous, & the animal welfare parts make for good reading.

I first read Temple‘s research in vet school, and she has a singularly interesting perspective. I‘m so excited that @RiverheadBooks sent me an ARC of her new book the different ways visually-oriented people think. I can never decide if I‘m more auditory or visual, so I‘m excited to read this! Out October 11.
