Welcome to Litsy!

I‘m still not over 2016, and I‘m stress eating and nail biting as we await next week. I still managed a few chunksters in October. #octoberrecap

This memoir is well written and processes her life and policies that she is willing to discuss. I have profound respect for her and liked her more after reading her book. I found her to be intelligent, vulnerable, and a hard ass. Since I agree with her on many topics, I love her lines in the sand of things she won‘t compromise.

This was such a moving and impactful book. Reminds me to keep fighting for a better future! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This wasn‘t an entirely flattering portrayal of Hillary, but I feel like I know her better. And respect her for what she has accomplished and where she fell short. I think the author feels the same. Made a great audiobook narrated by Amy!

@TheBookHippie and I have been on a similar wavelength today. She posted two fabulous songs that I had never heard of re: HC's speech last night. I've been watching/listening all morning to this one by Kate McKinnon and wondering what might have been but thrilled that “the future is here.“ 🩶🖤🩶

The artwork in the book is gorgeous - just look at the endpapers.

Review of Jodi Picoult‘s audiobook CHOICE (not title tagged since Litsy doesn‘t have): PICK.

What if cis-gender identifying males were the only humans (suddenly!) to have a uterus? (I think that is the accurate question considered here.)

Reminds me of once asking my husband what he would think if he saw only women in (favorite) movies and on television (ie ESPN) - he told me not to be ridiculous. His brain couldn‘t even comprehend.

Hi, all. I'm looking for a way to get out of my reading slump. Too many distractions these days. I thought joining a buddy read would be fun. I know about #buddyread, #pemberlittens, #furrowedmiddlebrowclub, and #sundaybuddyreads. I plan to check these out. Any suggestions for others? I don't care for rom-coms, science fiction or short stories. Other than that, I'm pretty open.

Thank you!
