Welcome to Litsy!

This book is appropriate for this time of year. Will she fit in with the new class? The new school? #ISpyBingoJuly Finally finished this board. @TheAromaofBooks

In a quest to understand the human mind, Brene Brown and her team ask the hard questions. I'm captivated to see the parallels in myself and I had never noticed before about some behaviors I gravitate towards- especially regarding seeking closeness by over sharing and finding common a common foe. I need to do better. I also read the Sandy Hook section the day after yet another school schooling (time time in Wisconsin) and find myself grappling...

Little Oliver learns that he can't lose himself just to fit in.

Fern and her mom live at a sustainable farm in upstate NY, with a leader named “Dr Ben”, a stern ruler. It‘s the only home she can remember bc she was little when they moved there. When Mom absconds with her and drives to a California beach town saying that Ben is dangerous, Fern is furious and makes it her mission to get back “home”…

So heartful and well written🩵🩵

@WildAlaskaBibliophile and I celebrated one year in Alaska this week! Wild flowers are in bloom (I don't think I've ever seen a rose in the wild before), and Black Jack is still Black Jack.

The pace was slow but the characters and atmosphere were fantastic. The plot was unique with the cult and underlying feelings of danger.

Delightful middle grade novel filled with endearing characters. #NunLit

I just saw this!

I‘m not a huge self-help reader, but Brené Brown is someone I‘ve heard talked about a lot. I can see why so many are drawn to her. Both her writing and ideas seem accessible. As with all books in this genre, there are passages that resonate or stood out more than others.

Finished this 1 yesterday! I‘d been reading it 4 group therapy & it led to some good discussions! The V in the BRAVING acronym really stuck with me. The V stands for Vault & it‘s about keeping people‘s confidences. I thought I was good at that but it made me realize that if I reveal someone‘s confidences to another person, then that other person could decide that I‘m untrustworthy & I definitely don‘t want that to be the case! Made me check myself
