Welcome to Litsy!

Apparently, I‘m going through a contemporary romance phase. I saw a review of this book by @LibrarianRyan the other day, and made a snap decision to see if I could find a copy. It was absolutely a pure fluff read about a football player and a librarian who are long time friends. There‘s low drama and an emphasis on body positivity.

So good! Kept me guessing and second guessing. Will for sure read more by this author. #audioread #audiobook

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I‘ve read Caroline Alexander‘s book about Shackleton‘s expedition, & I have Alfred Lansing‘s on my shelf, so I couldn‘t resist downloading this audio as well. It‘s more straightforward & scientific in a logbook sort of way than Alexander‘s, but I still found most of it fascinating as a more immediate, first person version. The part about the Aurora got long to me, but other than that, I‘m amazed by this survival story every time I read about it.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Don't walk- run to your nearest bookstore or library, and get your hands on a copy of this book! While you're at it, grab some wine and tissues cause you're gonna need them. Because, wow! Just wow. Such a wonderful, incredible, amazing story this was.

Plus, fantastic narration on this #audiobook. 💗👍

Started this one after Kim Jiyoung. Had been debating getting a new therapist, but by the end of the intro I knew it was time! I downloaded the PDF of the questionnaires and wow talk about clarity! I don‘t know if any real healing has happened yet, but someone is ready for therapy now. Very clear how both my mother and grandmother expressed their emotional immaturity. Talk about an eye opener!

This was a really quick read. The end felt really sudden, but I felt like I got to know all but one character really well. I can see why this helped to start multiple feminist movements. Korean boys and American boys (just all the boys) should have to read this book and learn to understand Jiyoung‘s perspective. What a game changer that would be for all women.

✅ Another strange book marked off the 1001 list! Thankfully, it was short & fairly easy to follow at double speed. It‘s a disjointed mishmash of stories with way too much graphic M/M sex for me. Some scenes were interesting in how they were repetitively told with slight variations, but I didn‘t get the point. It wasn‘t as difficult of a read as de Sade‘s Justine, but I‘m giving it the same kind of rating.

This was a great listen that describes the experiences of the first six American women to be astronauts - Sally Ride, Judy Resnik, Anna Fisher, Kathy Sullivan, Shannon Lucid, and Rhea Seddon.
