Welcome to Litsy!

“The only time I‘ve ever genuinely wondered if I could develop a super power was when I was bitten on the left breast by a guinea pig... I sat in the dark for hours waiting for my special abilities to appear, Susan Calman Guinea Pig Woman! I have no idea what would happen if I became such a hybrid hero. I understand that these furry rodents eat their own feces, so that was something to look forward to.”

About unpleasant people on the internet:

“There are some horrible, nasty people in the world who delight in making other people unhappy... if you were at a party and there was an obviously aggressive dickhead there, would you try to engage them? Would you earnestly try to explain why they were wrong or would you instead spend your time with people who don‘t make you feel like shit?”

Good advice.

Ok but this is so important! I can‘t even tell you how irritating this is to me! The number of times I have corrected someone on this or I have disregarded an article because of their use of ‘schizophrenic‘ to describe a hypocrite society or something along that line is tremendous, so much that I wanted to center my thesis around the vulgarisation and the misuse of mental illness terms and how they‘re perceived in the collective consciousness. 😤

My nonfiction pick for the week

I absolutely loved this book. I‘ve read other reviews of people who were annoyed by Julia, but I for one empathized and related to her. Even though I‘m not a Mexican and my parents aren‘t immigrants. I guess I just related to her desire to see more of the world, expand her horizons and not settle for mediocre. Also really loved how the novel tackled mental health issues.

Wow. Intense and emotional. I feel like I gained a lot of insight about humanity while also being entertained. I have a lot to think about and process and I think this is the type of book that will have me doing that for a long time. Also, therapy is good. For all the reasons. ☺️

If you guys love CSI and crime shows, you'll love this book. I'm learning so many new things about psychopaths that the media would never be able to capture. Great reading choice by my grad school professor!

I thought I‘d give you a behind the scenes look at one of my book photo layouts. Things don‘t always go smoothly. Sometimes family members try to eat my props.

The Cheerleaders is a well-developed mystery packed with emotional depth and a compelling storyline.
