Welcome to Litsy!

Finished listening to this one last night- and loved it!! I learned so much about President Garfield, who I really didn‘t know much about before. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We do not care that when we complain about having our period for 19 days straight, you consider that too much information. If we have to live with it, you have to hear about it. 🩸

We're in #perimenopause , and we have no filters anymore. 🤣

Starting this today for my morning read!

My “goal” for this year is to read more mindfully. To me, this means: to pay minimal attention to tracking and counting, and maximize my attention to the story, the writing, the experience of what I choose to read. It‘s been amazing! I joined my library‘s IRL bookclub, and I‘m also doing buddy reads with my 75yo mom - knowing that I‘ll discuss a book helps me focus and absorb. This one (w/Mom) made for excellent conversation! ⬇️

I abandoned this book because my former history teacher told us that he didn‘t cover moussilini because of the r word, and that includes lots of cases of it in this book. This book is not safe.

Awesome book about the life of one of Americas most iconic presidents! Enjoyed the dives into JFKs life history and personal life, and the unbiased history of the assassination itself. Highly recommend!

After we watched Manhunt on AppleTV, I realized I didn‘t know much about Lincoln‘s assassination. I turned to O‘Reilly‘s book because of its perceived simplicity. His book reads like a thriller, as intended. But in the end, I need more details - not the glossy, easy narrative style he uses. Finally, his character flaw as conspiracy theorist in the media is on full display here as well. I‘ll need a better book to satiate my historical needs.

⭐️⭐️⭐️ Read this to round out my Kennedy deep dive. It was, of course, super interesting at times, but insanely long for a book covering a six day period. I slogged through.

Fascinating!
