Welcome to Litsy!

This is part of my #nonfictionchallenge #womenshistorymonthread and I found myself drawn into the history of this amazing woman. This is a MUST read for everyone, especially in light of recent laws being changed. This one will infuriate you. Or at least it did me. We had come so far only to fall back into archaic ways of thinking.

This is such a disturbing read. Some believe he may have been the I-45 serial killer. It‘s possible. Anthony Shore was captured once DNA caught up with him and his killings. For fans of true crime novels this will keep you riveted to the pages. #nonfictionchallenge #readingchallenge2022

I‘ve always been intrigued with the Royal Family. While I had the opportunity to live in England for 3 Amazing years I finished my degree in History and actually traveled to many of the historical places I studied. To include various royal and aristocratic residences. This book was like sitting down with a cup of tea and hearing all the gossip and intrigue. Well worth the read #nonfictionchallenge #readingchallenge2022

It‘s a hell of a town, and Dyja looks at several angles from the 1970s to the late 2010s. He writes about the rise and fall of some political figures (Koch, Bloomberg, Giuliani, Trump), the movement of the art/artists around the city, Black culture and the hip hop scene, and gay culture and the AIDS epidemic. New York is a place of constant change and rebirth, and this book captures it well. #audiobook

I‘m finally caught up with the #StarWarsBuddy, next I need to catch back up with the #PratchettPosse aka #OokBOokClub

This book was absolutely brilliant!!! What could‘ve been a dry drudgery was in fact a riveting page turner. Anne Perkins covers 5 women and many others too as they become the first women to be admitted to Yale in 1969. This book explores much more than just the early days of coed education, it is follows the Vietnam War, segregation, the feminist movement and equal rights for women and minorities. This is truly #BookClubWorthy 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Abramson gathers details from a myriad list of legit sources to create this timeline. At times, it‘s all quite overwhelming in its hard hitting truths. But if you need to flesh out the newscasts or articles you‘ve read with even more detail (lots and lots more), I recommend this book. 30% is the endnotes, so it‘s serious sh*t. If you can‘t stomach it all, just read the last chapter.

Starting this one by @hollytucker today as I recover from this morning's #migraine. It's really quite fascinating.

I re-read this every so often. It's worth it for the chapter titled "Shitty First Drafts" alone. #nonfictionchallenge #readathon #springcleaningreadathon
