Welcome to Litsy!

I started reading this book and saw its Netflix movie adaptation 3 years ago and will finally finish it this week 📖🍩💖

Recommended by at least 2 friends. I am already overreacting to all the sexism at work (who has work in engineering and still been "mistaken" for the secretary will see why). I need to brace myself for the rest ;)

Watching Jeopardy from a few weeks ago, and I learned that this gentleman is the husband of Bonnie Garmus, who wrote Lessons in Chemistry. I may owe her an apology for saying that her characters didn‘t seem realistic. I can DEFINITELY picture this guy asking someone to pass the sodium chloride. 😜

“Girls couldn't play baseball, or can they?“ This quote challenges the stereotypes of people thinking girls can't do things.

I would use this book in my classroom to discuss women's rights and determination.

This story was published in 2003 and is historical fiction. This book tells the story of a girl who didn't love all of the things a “normal“ girl should love back in the 1940's. She loved baseball instead but no one let girls play baseball. So, she made a league of her one and how she might have played for the first ever All-American Girls Professional Baseball League

1) Ranier cherries ... so hard to choose just one but their season is so short it feels like a real treat.

2) Loved the book and the show

This book of essays has been on my Kindle TBR for a while. It seemed a good pick for today‘s #Play prompt.

“Whenever you start doubting yourself, whenever you feel afraid, just remember. Courage is the root of change and change is what we're chemically designed to.”

One of my favorites 🧡 ✏️

Do you remember the pencil scene??

My irl book club pick for September, the cover did not give me hope. And it was light - I started and finished it over the long weekend while also cataloging my library. But it was entertaining and will (maybe) give us something to talk about. So a soft pick.
