Welcome to Litsy!

Hello #SheSaid!

Did you make it through? Such a tough read right now, but also a really timely one…. 😬

#BookReport #WeeklyForecast

I finished The Mystery of the Bass-Bound Trunk

I read Anything is Possible, the Sherlock Holmes story The Bruce-Parlington Plans and Eurotrash

I‘m still doing my yearlong reads on the right

I read this month‘s reading of Heartstone #ShardlakeBR and will continue with the others; Pride and Prejudice #PemberLittens #JaneAustenThenAndNow, Entitled #SheSaid and Star of the Sea #BookedInTime

I finished this one up last weekend before my Libby loan expired. It's only my 2nd audiobook ever, and I learned nonfiction isn't going to work for me without a print copy. Keeping in mind that the mode probably affected my opinion of the book, I found this was good, but not great. The topics for each chapter are so very important, but I struggled to be engaged. It could also be that I'm just weary of intolerance and hate right now ⬇️

This was interesting and helpful: I think the fact that I‘m a Christian and what I‘ve learned about Womanism helped me understand that thread better, and I know a Black friend who works incredibly hard in church leadership who really values it. So many women need to push back against “grind culture!”
it did seem repetitive as others have said, but in a way that was helpful, as I was often listening to it at times when I was resting!

There are evidently many men who feel entitled to regulate pregnant bodies without having the remotest idea about, or interest in learning, how they work. And there are evidently some women who are prepared to paint others as heartless for balking at these attempts to police and enforce their pregnancies. #SheSaid

Finished this one yesterday, it‘s the 2nd of my March #Roll100 picks (#51 Any Library Book) & the 5th book from my #AuldLangSpine list from @JacqMac & I loved it! A historical mystery centered around a real-life midwife, Martha Ballard. I found the mystery gripping in how it unfolded & the look at midwifery in 1779 in Maine was interesting. The author‘s notes in the back about the choices she made in telling Martha‘s story were also ⬇️

Hello #SheSaid. I hope this week has treated you well.

I know quite a few of you were running behind starting and/or reading this one, so just stop into the comments as you finish each section. This discussion is for chapters 5 & 6.

I don‘t have any plans for the upcoming week, so I hope to get some reading done

Continue my yearlong reads

Continue the buddy reads; Pride and Prejudice #PemberLittens #JaneAustenThenAndNow, Heartstone #ShardlakeBR, Start of the Sea #BookedInTime and Entitled #SheSaid

I want to read Anything is Possible and hopefully Eurotrash so I get a start on the book by Tiller

Another case that support that pro-lifers isn‘t about pro-life
