1. “Brick by Brick: Navigating Life's Pages Through Illness, Exhaustion, and Joy“ (Brick-by-Brick referring to my love of LEGO and other building blocks)
2. The tagged book. It pulls at the heartstrings!

I‘ve read and reread slim nonfiction book over the years. Each time I find new things that speak to me. Lindbergh compares different stages in a woman‘s life to various shells she finds on the beach. The shells aren‘t the point; it‘s what they represent that carries the weight of the work. She touches on maintaining your individuality as a woman despite marriage and motherhood, a difficult balance to find.

A collection of thoughts on disease, death, nature, art. A collection of memories (childhood, living and travelling abroad, love relationships). There‘s also a recurring warning not to bequeath nuclear waste to future generations. Mankell was a man of the highest integrity, one of the finest (crime) writers which shines through in this wonderful book. It was a joy to read and makes me want to explore everything he published.

I‘m so excited to welcome my friend @Gilly18 to Litsy! Please welcome her! She‘s a huge book lover (and a talented crafter where we met). I want all my dear friends here on Litsy to show her how much fun we have here! Please share all we have to offer and follow her so she can start following you back. 😄

Gilda, check out @LitsyEvents for buddy reads and challenges, among many other events, that are going on in the Litsyverse right now.

Here‘s my review for a book I just DNF‘d. This is a physical book and I will be donating it. I also have his other book called The Be Happy Attitudes on my shelf that I haven‘t read and I‘ll be donating that one without reading it. Besides, I need the space on my shelf.

Here‘s my progress for this book I‘m currently reading. I‘ve decided that I‘m going to DNF this book. I like that it‘s encouraging but I don‘t like the writing style. It has testimonies of people who have gone through difficult times in life and then after that, he shares tips for getting through difficult times in life and as a result of that, the chapters are really long. This book is not a page turner. It‘s kind of boring.

I started this book. It‘s good so far. It‘s very encouraging.

I couldn‘t decide what to read so I decided to play this TBR game called Play Your TBR Right. The book I didn‘t want to read was Life‘s Not Fair But God Is Good and the one I really wanted to read was The Divorce Colony. As you can see, I lost so I‘ll be reading the book I don‘t want to read. I don‘t mind reading it. It sounds like it‘ll be encouraging but I‘m just not in the mood to read it right now.
