Welcome to Litsy!

I‘ve read historical fiction about real figures before - the fictionalized Kick Kennedy in “The Kennedy Debutante” last year, among others -, but...there‘s something a little weird about this? (Mostly the Bill & Hillary stuff, honestly: like, we know these people.) I‘m enjoying it, mostly, but I do find myself going “...this is basically Real Person Fanfiction.” 🤷🏻‍♀️ #rodham #curtissittenfeld #hillaryrodham #hillaryclinton #stillwithher #ifonly

My Tuesday schedule is backwards today, with a morning shift instead of an evening shift, so honestly, I‘m looking forward to spending basically the whole day with this. 💖 #rodham #curtissittenfeld #hillaryrodham #hillaryclinton #hillaryrodhamclinton #stillwithher #ifonly

My cat, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, is really excited about this one that‘s been in my TBR pile for months! 😸📚 #RBGthecat #stillwithher

I have a lot more closure after this book. I'm #StillWithHer, but even I felt like there was so much I wanted to know about her. I'm not saying I had a right to this very personal memoir, but I do think that if a version of this had been pubbed before Nov 2016, there could have been a lot more swinging in her direction. She owns her mistakes, but I'm unclear on why HER team didn't investigate the email policy at State right away.

🎧 Listening to more of #WhatHappened this morning and I had to stop to create this graphic and share it with you. To keep from tearing up😢, I had to balance this heartfelt quote with with her awesome wardrobe. 👩🏼‍💼 No one else can rock a colorful pantsuit quite like #HRC. I just love her. 😍 I love her poise, her eloquent words, her strength, and her awesome pantsuit collection. 🙌🏼 #imwithher 💙#imstillwithher #feminist #nastywoman 🙋🏻‍♀️

This was, as expected, bittersweet. I thought Hillary did a great job exploring the election in a methodical, well thought out way, and I appreciated her point of view. There was an ache in my chest for most of this book, thinking about what could (should?) have been. But it also felt strangely therapeutic to finally listen to it, especially amidst her continued optimism in the face of an experience that would have beaten most. #stillwithher

Powerful and heartbreaking. Even, fair, honest. I can‘t help but imagine what if. This smart, spiritual, hard working woman would have brought so much to so many but she eloquently reminds us that it is our turn now to stand up, be heard, and take care of each other. Thanks Hillary. #stillwithher #resistreads

I made it through this audiobook, but it was not easy. #stillwithher #resist

I know this is going to be a difficult book to get through, but at least it starts with a laugh 😆 #StillWithHer
