Attention Harry Potter fans! Get yourselves to the British Library ASAP to see the 'Harry Potter: A History of Magic' exhibit. Really beautifully curated collection of manuscripts, sketches, and art from the books alongside magic-related artifacts. #BLHarryPotter #harrypotter

Intelligent, insightful, well-argued, passionate, beautifully written, and occasionally delightfully snarky. It's our tremendous loss that this woman is not president. #hillaryclinton #americanhistory #UShistory #politics #feminism #femaleauthors #booksbywomen #resist

"And maybe if I showed that I wasn't giving up, other people would take heart and keep fighting, too." Wow, I was interested to read this book but I did not realize how much I needed this book! It is warming my cold, sad heart. #hillaryclinton #imstillwithher #resist #politics #femaleauthors

Jess7 I knew I wanted to read it, but I didn't realize that I absolutely have to OWN it until I heard blurbs about what's in it. I've heard she gets more personal than her other books! #imSTILLwithHer 7y
brucebookworm @Jess7 You will love it! It's impossible not to hear her voice in her writing. 💙💙💙 7y
Jess7 Thanks! I'm excited! I definitely prefer ebooks but I think this one that I want in hardback to put on my coffee table and/or book shelf in my living room. 7y
brucebookworm Agreed :) Hopefully I will be getting tickets to see her which comes with a hard copy, but I can't wait that long! 7y
Jess7 Heads up: #HRC will be speaking live on CSPAN beginning at 7 pm EST about the 2016 presidential race and her book #WhatHappened 7y

Informative, engaging, and urgent. This raised my awareness of climate change and the many other ways humans are impacting other living things on the planet. I feel motivated to do more to reduce my impact. #equityandactivismbookclub #science #climatechange #sustainability #environment #booksbywomen #femaleauthors

The Sellout: A Novel | Paul Beatty

Searing commentary on race in America, and some genuinely funny writing, but I would have liked more structure.

Short but sweet, and contains perhaps the best example of mansplaining ever. A great intro to #feminism. Enjoyable on #audiobook too. #feministessays #feministbooks #essaycollections #essaysbywomen

(Same title, different book not on Litsy) Great intersectional feminist essay collection. Although slightly heavy on Scottish writers and punk music, this offers diverse stories, all of which were well written and some of which were really moving. #nastywomen #feminism #feministbooks #essaycollections #essaysbywomem

ShariEstaLeando It was interesting to learn about the history of racism in UK. The author articulated some very excellent points. 8y

Vacation read! Just finished this last night and discovered Litsy via an article I was reading on the way home. My first review!

ShariEstaLeando Love it! 8y
KateFulfordAuthor If you like Maggie‘s style, perhaps you could consider my debut? Reviews are saying: “I loved this book more than I initially thought I would. Fulford infuses her characters with intense personalities that are prone to clashing with those of others. I loved Eve from the very beginning..." It‘s been nominated for The People's Book Prize 2018 too!
