Welcome to Litsy!

I don‘t think there was a single passage that didn‘t go right to the gut: Shraya, a Western Canadian, writes directly and beautifully about her young experience of being forced into masculinity, and the impact a masculine-dominated culture continues to have on her as a woman. She questions binary structures and stereotypes, and shifts from second-person “you” to “me” writing part way through.

My kids got me a bird feeder for Christmas. Now I‘m a bit obsessed. So I went hunting for bird-related stuff in the Audible Plus catalog. This memoir has ups and downs, both in terms of writing and content. But it‘s also about a small incident leading the author to remake her life and make a difference in the world. She knows nothing about birds and begins rescuing and learning about them.

This book of essays written by some of the most well respected and prolific romance authors was thoughtful, well researched, and made me@think about what I read and how it impacts my life. While definitely dated, published 1992, I appreciated the honest and smart perspectives shared. #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks #Nonfiction #LikeAVirgin

My least favourite Bowie stuff, way too poppy for me - I was dark and goth at that point 😀

#LyricalApril Day 5 These books are compelling, captivating, emotional and ALL #TRUE 🎵💗🎵I'm always amazed at what humans can endure and overcome. Hopefully one day, I won't need to say that!
