Welcome to Litsy!

I‘ve got to disagree with Arendt. There is not a new kind of evil, a special, radical kind of evil that started with the Nazis. Every human being is fully capable of such evil. It is our better nature that allows us to override any desire to be evil and choose to be good people. When one starts to believe that this evil can benefit one‘s better nature is when these atrocities happen.

It is my mission to rescue this powerful debut novel—which sank like a stone in a pond when it came out during Covid—from obscurity.

3 ⭐ This book is about being yourself and how there is no one exactly like you. Each page takes a concept and talks about how you as a human match that concept whether it‘s being animal whether it‘s being water whether it‘s being unique and different. All in all the book and has to match.

Somehow music expression is humanising… so long as it‘s not Mick Jagger. Someone make that make sense? How closed minded of him. This dude needs to read Alfie Kohn and redo the assignment.

An interesting concept that falls short of it's full potential. Emily is an interesting character who doesn't quite fully materialise on the page whilst other characters flit through the story as mere vessels for Emily. Wheaton makes the Sci-fi writer mistake of getting too smart in places meaning I lost interest and the story never quite recovers.

I admire what Ramirez attempted here and am giving it a Pick over a So-so for this aim to give humanity to science history. But I was never transported and inspired; I had too high hopes, perhaps. Yet, she has a great #PieinLit mention and she drops in Perkins mauve color (NF book by Simon Garfield) so there's that. 👇

#JulyJourneys Day 23: In Sophie Blackall‘s Author‘s Note in her latest exquisite picturebook, she mentioned “I have made books about boars and babies and bears and #lighthouse(s) but what I wanted in that moment was a book that would bring us together. A book about their home and mine.” My review: https://wp.me/pDlzr-n5K
