Welcome to Litsy!

1. I‘m tired. I didn‘t get enough sleep last night and I found another leak in my shower last night. Water is leaking through the shower floor and it created a hole in the grout. My mom thinks it has something to do with the shower drain when the contractors built the shower.

2. Tagged! The teen girl in this book has depression so her mom makes her a cake for 100 days to make her feel better. I liked this book.

I know this was a popular book but it was not to my liking. I normally enjoy psychological insight within a novel but this book felt more like the day to day ramblings and procrastination of a brother who chose to be misguided and utilized his brother as a source of blame. Not for me.

This is a slow, contemplative novel about a young artist battling with her mental health. I was surprised by all the love in this sad novel. I am glad I read it. 3 🌟

During this blog we turn the Authors Spotlight onto Lukas Klessig and his book “Words With My Father: A Bipolar Journey Through Turbulent Times”.

Words With My Father offers a gripping portrait of the evolution of a young man's mental illness and how it manifested into a dramatic and often dangerous existence through the turbulence of the Civil Rights, Peace and Conservation movements.

This book was readable but pointless. Geared more towards YA might explain the weak storyline. A young girl hears voices telling her to kill people but for the most part everyone she kills is bad. She‘s kind of like a female Dexter. Anyway glad this was a Lending Library Freebie otherwise I never would have picked it up.

Won't say it's my absolute #FaveLiteraryLove, but it's my most recent. You'll root for Kate and Peter as they find their way. Lovely story. #FeelintheLove @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @Eggs

1. I'm a bit sleepy. Cats woke me up early. I may nap later! 😆
2. I read this book the summer of 2016. I hadn't dealt with depression in years, but that changed after the November election. I'm glad I read it when I did. It reminded me it's OK to be not OK. I wrote Jenny & shared how much her book meant to me. She wrote back to thank me & said she really needed to hear it that day.

Insomnia worked in my favor last night and finished this interesting, chapter-less book. 📖
