Welcome to Litsy!

This book should be subtitled 'and add them all to your wishlist.'

I love the author‘s style of writing, his reflection. In this collection of notes, he speaks on the importance of writing, of how it gives words power, how speaking truth is power. Truth may be forcibly hidden but like the moon, it cannot remain hidden for long. Here, he shares his emotional and physical experiences from his time in Senegal, SC, and Palestine. We must keep writing, reading, reflecting, and acting. There is no other way⬇️

I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it (some I‘ve had so long I don‘t even remember why!). Feel free to join in!

My favourites of the year! I gave just three 5 star reviews out of about 30 books ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ These were books that I couldn‘t put down and I didn‘t want to end 🥰

The writing was snappy, witty and sharp, very Normal People vibes! I loved how the all the characters were a little flawed but so lovable!

This type of thing is generally my jam, but this guy is irritating and at 40% I‘ve decided that I officially do not care to know any more about him or this hike of his. Somehow he has managed to make me both bored and bothered. Later, alligator.

This series of essays is thought provoking and disturbing and educational and stirring and you can‘t help coming away with a new perspective on the world. My privilege does not exempt me from my own ignorance and I encourage everyone to read and promote Black authors, Indigenous authors, Women authors, and anyone whose voice is underrepresented. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I liked this little story! I appreciate when people appreciate nature; I should get out more when it‘s not icy. Extra credit for finding this in a little free library and gifting it to a friend.

A totally unrelated bookmark but the PNW does have woods so 🤷🏽‍♀️
