Preordering this book was worth it for the gorgeous swag. I'm really excited to read it in March.

My top 9 of 2017 on instragram is also highly appropriate for litsy.

I'm thoroughly enjoying this book. Less than 2 hours of reading and I'm almost halfway through; it's jusy flying along.

Yo, this is a Republican mayor talking about reparations back in the 60s. We can't even get Democrats to talk about it now.

Hahaha I win at kindle preorders. What an excellent way to spend the morning.

Hiding in my car on lunch to get some reading done. Three chapters in and I love this.

This book is so good and so important.

Omg I'm so in love with this. I'm so happy I finally got around to reading it. Thank you, Edelweiss.

An adorably delightful middle-grade title with a bisexual main character? I'm not crying, YOU'RE crying.

Everyone should read this when it comes out next month.

I loved this. I read somewhere that it was a combo of a western and a noir and it was, set largely in a New England town. Loo was a delightfully violent young girl and watching her grow up, and the subsequent evolution of her relationship with Hawley, made for such an enjoyable story.

Just finished this and decided to take a crappy picture of it. Photo quality is definitely not a reflection of the book's quality. I recommend this to anyone interested in learning more about injustice.

I adored this book last year. West writes with so much heart while tackling such serious issues. I devoured the book in one day. #READATHONMEMOIRS

I read this last week and absolutely loved it. It was a great look at a life of chronic pain, specifically for a woman. At times I could relate because of my own mental issues - depression and anxiety - but at others it was informed to see the stark difference between the two. Unfortunately, the main similarity seems to be how little respect they get. #READATHONESSAYS

I'm so excited about this book that I'm making it my first Litsy post.
