Welcome to Litsy!

It wasn‘t MY fault that the AT&T store only allowed three customers in at a time and it was too cold for me to wait outside for my husband. And that the used bookstore down the street was warm and cozy so I had to spend extra time browsing in there. Which resulted in this impressive #bookhaul.

My current read is a biography of Hillary Rodham Clinton. The very first line features the end of Bill Clinton's impeachment trial. I hope history remembers her more as the first female presidential candidate nominated by a major party and not just as "the wife of". #aprilbookshowers

One last quote about reinvention and getting back up when things seem the worst.

Hillary Clinton has become a powerful role model and feminist guide for me over the past year. The more I learn about her, the deeper I identify with her, and the more passionate I feel about her. This is a very comprehensive biography that is balanced, and I think is a must-read nowadays.

This right here is why I love this woman.

Hillary Clinton, First Lady on her own terms. Good reminder that if you don't like the restrictions of your job, you can change them.

Ending 2016 by reading about one badass role model before starting 2017 reading about another. This was the year I fully embraced a give-no-fucks, activist form of feminism and have found strength in women I admire. I regret spending my teens and twenties being resentful of girls and women I thought were stronger and more successful than I was. I wish instead I had become their friends and learned from them.
