Welcome to Litsy!

This made me very uncomfortable and I don‘t know if it‘s because of my lived experience on the spectrum or what. I was engaged with the story but it almost felt too stereotypical and unreal for me to take it seriously. I‘m also not quite sure what I feel about the ending.

#BookReport
I did not get a lot of reading done this week because I was dragging my feet on Mansplaining: The Novel BUT I did manage to finish it so yay for moving on to better things.

#WeeklyForecast
Goal this week is to read a big chunk of the tagged and maybe start a new commute audio. Last week I spent it catching up on podcasts.

Decided to start this for my nice shady spot outside read. There‘s even a soft breeze.

HAPPY #BOOKSPIN DAY TO ALL WHO CELEBRATE

I may be way behind on reading my picks for the year but I am so hype to get to these! Also hurray for no chonky bois!

Thanks as always for hosting @TheAromaofBooks

Internally screaming because it's time to post yet another #BookSpin list and I'm still so far behind for my picks this year! New to the list this month is the tagged and Boneshaker. I need positive vibes sent my way that November's draw will not give me another chunkster. 🙏🙏🙏

Very interesting concept and great piece of wiring, anticlimactic ending!

This book was a really powerful and interesting story that follows a man with autism and the challenges he faces every day. It forces you to think about what makes us who we are and for the main character whether he would be the same person if he were no longer autistic. Excellent writing and very thoughtful. I really enjoyed this book.

This book was recommended by someone dear to me. He used it to understand someone, and knows that I am considered "high-functioning," but on the spectrum. I definitely COULD understand the narrator Lou Arrendale on a different, special level, and cared for his fate. The way he learns, sees patterns, and is entranced by certain things, I understand. The end was surprising. But he went for his dream. Powerful stuff. ??????⛳??

A post for #bookanddinner is potatoes with guacamole and a selection of fruit: raspberries, strawberries, cherries, and blueberries. Paired with a fascinating (and thought-provoking) account of when a dignosis of Autism could be cured with an experimental drug should you try it, and what this means for the definition of self and the word "normal." #currentlyreading #yum #BookNDinner ??????
