Welcome to Litsy!

Saw your post. My favorite sign from the first go round.

If you are looking for a linear narrative, you won‘t find it here. These sparkling vignettes told by a generous, sparkling, and restless soul are beautiful to behold while sometimes feeling hard to follow. May she rest in love and beauty.

Kendzior always writes beautiful prose that has a hint of melancholy for the future we no longer have. I loved this because it is a love letter to America and like she says, you love the good parts and tell the truth about the bad that way your love is honest.

Rolo and I are enjoying the tagged before summer temps make it impossible to enjoy the outside. Kendzior is an amazing writer and it feels right to read this in the outdoors.

This book. 💔 I love memoirs written in unique ways, and I love Sarah Moss‘ fiction; learning about her life experiences gave insights into some of the components of her novels. She so accurately captured for me the relationship between body, food and control, and how the line past which you‘ve taken it too far can be easy to cross. I loved all the discussions of works by female writers. The audio was fantastic.

Pictures of myself are hard. This book was hard. I wish things could be different for her, for me, for my mother & sister & grandmother & aunts. Until then I‘m going to do what Moss does: send a good, bright wolf back in time to provide exactly what is needed ❤️ I‘m going to start by choosing to love the body that houses me

Thanks @Megabooks for putting this one on my radar. I finally got around to reading it a year later! Cameron Russell is a model and recounts her experiences with creeps and feelings of guilt for the unsavory nature of the fashion industry and her profits. She discusses her political activities and relationship with her mother. A quick listen!

Wow!

I expected more from this one, but I'm still giving it a low pick. It was a fast-paced audiobook that kept me entertained while listening, but it didn't make a lasting impression.
