Welcome to Litsy!

I reread this for #AuthorAMonth. It held up to what I remember from my childhood read of it. I had forgotten that in addition to the main theme of puberty and friends at that age, Margaret is trying to decide if she is interested enough to join her father‘s Jewish faith or her mother‘s Christian one.

Turned on this Judy Blume documentary - Judy Blume Forever! - available on Prime. She‘s just so lovely. #AuthorAMonth

Wild how much has changed (and stayed the same) for elementary age kids since this was published. It made me cringe, chuckle, wince, and desperately wonder where were the adults. 🫣 #AuthorAMonth

Eight books read in July while still making my way through chunksters Kristin Lavransdatter (#KLBR) and Little Dorrit (#whattheDickens). Stats:

1 book finished for last month‘s #foodandlit #Greenland
3 books for #foodandlit #Peru
1 book for #authoramonth (Virginia Wolff)
2 books for #campLitsy, including the tagged book, best book of the year so far

I‘ve switched over to the audiobook which I found for “free” with our Spotify subscription in hopes of finishing this one. 😰 #authoramonth @Soubhiville

This was my first Virginia Woolf book and I liked it. Though this was published in 1929, I feel that much of Woolf's arguments are true today. She described women in fiction, such as writers and women mentioned in literature. Woolf pretty much uses various examples as to why women need money and a room of their own in order to write.

I tried so hard to read this. I‘d make it about 5 pages before sleep would take me. I know she‘s working towards a specific point but it‘s hard to see in the overly descriptive retelling of her day.
