I‘ll probably never get reviews posted for August, I‘m still behind for July but I managed to read 20 books, which surprised me given my schedule & energy level for the month. Many were short books & I made 8 day trips in the month which gives me about 90 minutes per trip of reading + airport commute time.

Finished books for #SundayBuddyRead #SheSaid #NancyDrewBR #BobWhiteBuddies #EBBR #CampLitsy2025 #ChildrensClassicRead2025 #AuthorAMonth ⬇️

DebinHawaii #ThematicCozies #FictionalTraveler #Roll100 #SeriesLove2025 & some assorted #BOTM & Kindle Challenges 5 were audiobooks & 9 were library books (print & ebook). Favorites were Tilt, Listen For the Lie, King of Ashes, The Compound & Wedding People 7d

Pickpick

This was better as it went along. The last 2 sections were my favorites. The author pulls random people out of history that a normal person that doesn't know much history might not have heard of. I appreciate what the author is doing here.

Hello #SheSaid

I‘m really liking this one already. The introduction alone was very interesting. Please drop by the comments as you finish this week‘s section.

Riveted_Reader_Melissa I was hooked from the discussion of fat, liposuction, and that that is an organ with a purpose in the introduction. It explains so much about women and weight loss and regain cycles to me. And why we often regain more…probably the body knows it can be lost and wants to be extra prepared with a bit more in case of the next “famine”. 7d

Riveted_Reader_Melissa …it also made me think of all the weight lose drugs now and wonder how effective they will be long term and what side effects they may have long term 7d
vlwelser I am glad we're reading this. I had no idea it was so long when I proposed it. But I like her style. And I like how detailed it is. 7d
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @vlwelser me too…and yes, I thought that part way through this week‘s section …the this is longer than I thought it was. 7d
MallenNC My friend read this and recommended it. I‘m glad to hear it‘s good. I‘ll have to catch up when my hold comes in. 7d
LitStephanie The discussion about mammalian nursing and milk production just made me cringe, guess I am squeamish about that. I was skeptical of her reporting that males can ever produce milk, so I looked for a legitimate source, and apparently it is extremely rare (except in one type of bat) but can happen! https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/strange-but-true-males-can-lactate/ 3d

My joy is my freedom-it allows me to live my life as I see fit. I won‘t leave this earth without the world knowing that I chose to live a life that made me happy, made me think, made me whole. I wont leave this earth without the world knowing that I chose to live.

Singout I really found this #SheSaid book to be interesting, and presenting an excellent breadth of perspectives and varieties of disability a few years ago. 2w
Chelseabillups30 Is #SheSaid a Litsy challenge or something? Was the book I‘m reading part of it? 2w
Singout Yes, it‘s coordinated by @Riveted_Reader_Melissa based on recommendations and votes from participants. It started with a focus on Black women writers when George Floyd was murdered, as one way to commit to learning more about anti-racism. It‘s broadened to be a way to look at other forms of oppression, one book per month, divided up by weeks and very flexible and open. 1w

Chelseabillups30 @Singout, oh wow!! Well, I have a bunch of disability/chronic illness/trauma/mental health books I‘d recommend!! 1w
Singout Recommendation time is right now! 1w
Chelseabillups30 @Singout, I hate how Litsy does tagging of books, I can‘t figure out how to put it mid sentence, lol. But the tagged book is the next one up from Alice, so that would get my vote!! I can come up with a much longer list….to be continued… 1w
Singout Don‘t give me the list, look for she said and add your suggestions to the list there. 1w
Chelseabillups30 @Singout, made it just shy of a top 100!! 😂😅🤣 1w

Bookwormjillk Thank you! I am terrible at reading these on time, but I usually get to them eventually! 2w

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @Bookwormjillk You‘re welcome. And I understand… I have been off all year so far. Not reading on time. I blamed moving in the beginning of the year keeping me busy doing other things and throwing me off my reading pattern. Now I‘m think it‘s too much Doomscrolling 🫠 But whatever it is, I‘m off too and I hope it ends soon. So I thank you all for putting up with an organizer that is later reading our sections about 50% of the time lately. 2w
MallenNC It‘s hard to believe it is time to pick more books already. I will give some thought to what I‘ve been interested in lately. 2w
ncsufoxes Men Who Hate Women by Laura Bates is really good. Saving Five by Amanda Nguyen. (edited) 2w
Liz_M @LitsyEvents (edited) 1w
Riveted_Reader_Melissa This comes out in October… and I think will be talked about by everyone 1w
AllDebooks I would like to revist Wild Swans as Jung Chang is releasing a follow-up memoir. 1w
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @AllDebooks really! I‘d love to re-read Wild Swans too, I did not know she was writing a follow-up 1w
AllDebooks @Riveted_Reader_Melissa published in the UK on 16th September 2025. Fly, Wild Swans: My Mother, Myself and China by Jung Chang – HarperCollins Publishers UK https://share.google/LuOWV66dzCrH5j9Zq 1w
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @AllDebooks Definitely Stacking 1w
LitStephanie Ooh my library had this available! May I join you all for September? 1w
