Welcome to Litsy!

In theory, this book was interesting. Unfortunately, it just didn't keep my attention. The author really, really loves princesses, but doesn't expand beyond that. Instead of just trying to convince me how great they are and how women all want to be royalty (nope), I wanted more analysis and scholarly research. This would be fascinating if it had delved deeper into folk tales and academic folk research. Alas.

I got jealous of all the great food posts so I made apple cake tonight. Pairing it with princesses and maybe some historical fiction or fantasy later.

Impromptu readathon day as the entire region is getting flooded. I am lucky so far but a nearby friend is evacuating (who's house is built 9 feet off the ground). My backyard pond and the deep ditches along the front and side are helping.

Hi @Litsy ! The title that could describe my life. Why? I'm a feminine and feminist lover of fairy tales, an advocate for kids and play, and occasionally I've had to defend my diva behavior. #sorrynotsorry #24in48

I feel like there‘s been an extent of some unfair comparisons of Princesses that this author so wonderfully and passionately combats! She defends so many princesses, both fictional and real, and explores how they serve as wonderful role models that children should not be discouraged to look up to!
