Welcome to Litsy!

Anybody else married to a raconteur? This book is very funny. Love Roz Chast illustrations. #humor #comics #relationships #love #valentinesday

I thoroughly enjoyed this. It felt honest and thoughtful. I loved that it was a book about all types and configurations of relationships and that they were all written about with respect. I also appreciated that it was written using an intersectional feminist lens.

Honestly, friendship, and waffles.

Yessss

I'd never read this author before and now I can't wait to read her others! When the new drama teacher brings a controversial play to the high school play, a spell begins to start affecting all the local women. The intimate relationships of these women with their partners begins to decline, and how that decline affects those relationships. It was an interesting new take on the dynamics of a relationship.

A good and quick read, even though I believe the author's view is a bit simplistic considering the enormous number of variables to be factored in human interactions i.e. mental health, financials, social background, personality, etc. Nonetheless, his views are helpful and would definitely help bringing intimacy back in a relationship. But it's not a 1 remedy to cure all diseases. Recommended.

Getting some reading done with my cuddly girl.

Despite some stilted dialogue, I found this book about an older couple held hostage by a mysterious stranger oddly compelling. My full review is up at theludicreader.com

Listened to this as part of Book Riot‘s 2020 challenge and it was very lovely! I have never considered listening to a poetry audiobook before and this was good!
