Welcome to Litsy!

I am so glad I discovered Beth Kempton (via Instagram, of all places)!
She comes across as a thoughtful, genuine and generous person and her books reflect this. This one's accompanying podcast is a great listen, too, and her website offers various supportive freebies (meditations, a writing group workbook...)

I am actually starting to think about writing again (I haven't been able to write since I completed my poetry book a couple of years ago).

I had the pleasure of meeting Margaret Atwood years ago when she came to Colorado College to discuss The Year of the Flood. I‘ve always loved her work and can‘t wait to read her memoir.

A terrible, terrible photo of what will (hopefully) be my only book haul this year. I‘m a sucker for 2nd hand/clearance bookshops.

Very interesting book about drawing and learning to write.

Enjoy!

I have a fun variety of books to read for #MonthlyNonfiction2025 this month!

Ten Birds That Changed the World for #Naturalitsy @AllDebooks

Bad Feminist for #AuthorAMonth @Soubhiville

Blackbeard the Pirate for #BookedInTime @Cuilin

#MonthlyNonfiction2025 @julieclair
I finished three nonfiction books this month. They were all so different but each good in their own way.
