Welcome to Litsy!

A cozy mystery with a group of characters who were mostly like-able. Small town Mississippi is the setting. The story was okay. The first in a series, but I don‘t believe I‘ll read the rest. I prefer a bit more depth in stories, but not bad for a lighter. 3.25/5⭐️

Overall the story had some great potential but what bothered me, and right from the beginning, is that the MC has been working at the library and "adores" it but it's not until it's threatened, felt a need to do something for it!

The narrator was great. She had a great warmth about her that showed across all the characters and different tones and characterizations as she voiced the whole cast but she couldn't save it.

Contemporary fiction is usually not my thing unless, of course, if books & libraries are involved. I was in a bit of a slump and needed something light to get me going. A librarian trying to save her library from closing and a group of readers who helped her was just the thing. I‘m looking forward to their further adventures in reading & book discussions in the 2 follow up novels.

This book was FANTASTIC ❤️🧡💛

A heartwarming story of how a community came together to try and save a library from closing down, by forming a book club. Classics are read and discussed, delicious recipes are shared, and friendships are formed. @wanderinglynn

#bookfitnesschallenge Audiobook 34

Enjoying today‘s #audiobook before I head to bed for the night. I‘ve managed to find a way to listen to audiobooks while I study and take notes for class. Sometimes it‘s harder to focus on the stories, but I had a few good sessions, so my numbers went up.♥️ @wanderinglynn

This is audiobook 34 for the #BookFitnessChallenge

Another successful book club night “in the books! We read Something In the Water.

This was so close to a pick but it took me almost half the book to get into the story. It ended up pretty good and if you‘re wanting a little sojourn into stereotypical Southern culture, this may be for you.

Well, I‘m still reading this. I haven‘t had much time for #24in48 this afternoon and evening. But I am happy to report that Memaw is doing a little better and I had a successful 3rd date with a very nice man. All in all, I‘m counting today as a win. Time to read a little more before bed.

I‘m getting in (some of) my #24in48 while also watching The MS Blues Marathon runners go by.

Biel and I are up reading bc I can‘t go back to sleep. I‘m starting my #24in48 a little earlier than planned. I don‘t think I‘ll get the whole 24 in bc of various things going on. The good: I have a date tonight. The not so good: My Memaw is in the hospital. But we‘ll see how much I get in. #catsoflitsy #petsoflitsy

Sitting on the couch reading on this frigid January evening. #catsoflitsy #dogsoflitsy

Biel and I are getting in some #bedtimereading. I left Shadow of Night downstairs so I‘m starting this one. I‘m too tired to tackle the stairs again today. #catsoflitsy #petsoflitsy

This describes my last #bookclub #litsyhumor

I'm seriously serious about the #2030SomethingBookClub! So serious that I downloaded the Meetup app so I can keep myself together!!! Thanks @MrBook & @BookBabe for keeping this going!!!

In this book #SetInALibrary a librarian takes on the City Council in a battle to save her library from being shut down. This charming book was a nice change of pace and shows all the different ways a library can be the heart of a community! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5

Also, reading this, I couldn't help but miss The Put Your Foot Down Book Club! We only lasted about a year, but so many great times were had! 📚💕
