Welcome to Litsy!

According to my IPad my screen time was up 20%, I‘ve watched a ton of Friends episodes and haven‘t read very much at all. Love, Theoretically was #52Bookclub24 #WomeninStem and just ok for me. I am behind on both buddy reads and decided to DNF #TheBros. Enjoying The Biography of X. And have still only read one of the stories from Florida. 🤞🏼 for a better reading week. Next up Hello Beautiful and Let Us Descend.

I‘m just on a frivolous rom-com kick because that‘s about all the work my brain wants to do when I‘m not doing grad school stuff. 😂 #loathetoloveyou #alihazelwood #womeninSTEM #romcoms

An excellent collection providing an overview of some of the amazing women of science and mathmatics, with deep dives into some of their lives in the form of comics. The illustrations are lovely, and the stories are well portrayed. I wish more of the women got comics, especially the BIPOC women, and I also wish there was a little more diversity (more BIPOC, asian, LGBTQ, and disabled women, for example). #WomenInSTEM #History #Nonfiction

The audiobook of this picture book was part of the Hoopla bonus borrows this month. It was a really cool listen. I didn't know about this woman (there's even a connection with Colorado in her history). I'll have to read more about here soon! I'll also have to pick up this picture book sometime to see more of the story. #WomenInSTEM #NativeAmerican #PictureBook

The book started off on the slow side and it felt a little superficial. It read like a typical YA novel with high school drama and it dragged in parts because of that. However, once the main conflict happened, the book matured and picked up the pace. The empowering message finally managed to shine through.

Okay, this is the #DoubleSpin number!! The official #BookSpin number (TWELVE!!) is in my previous post, but several participants said they would love to try to read two books from their lists, so this number is for them!! I am only tagging the people who specifically asked to be tagged with the second number. Remember, this is overall a no-pressure challenge, so I ESPECIALLY do not want people to feel pressured about reading a second book!! ⬇

Enjoyable, interesting and fair minded exploration of the factors that lead to men and women‘s brains being perceived as different and the prejudices and odd experimental methodology that leads to it. I appreciated the nuanced conclusions which were more than ‘men and women are definitely no different‘, but took a lot of factors into account.

First book of 2020! I wish it would have been a 👍.

I think this is a case of knowing too much about a subject to be able to enjoy a graphic novel geared towards the middle grade crowd.

#nonfiction2020 #grateful : these 3 women were hugely inspirational to me when I studied anthro, I‘m grateful for their contributions to their groundbreaking work!

Taking a break from reading to March for Science. #womeninSTEM. Also the tagged book is amazing! ⚗️🔭🔬

I really enjoyed Hidden Figures, the book the movie was based on. It was inspiring, & I felt like I learned so much about all the amazing women at NASA. Definitely more technical& less narrative than the movie, but I think that's necessary for it to be detailed as it is. All in all, an important& informative read. Plus, ladies is science? I'm so there! 3.5 stars/⭐⭐⭐
